The passion economy changed my life. I have not “arrived” or anything but each day of my life unleashes adventure of a different kind. It isn’t easy but who said following your passion would be a bed of roses. It takes discipline, improvisation and firefighting to live to see another day. Thanks to your unconditional love and support, I am where I wanted to be. For that, I am grateful.
When I packed my bags in Delhi, quit Microsoft and left for Oxford, I didn’t really know how things would pan out but I knew the adventure will be worth it.
Everyone has a super power but we tend to ignore it wrongly choosing the hotter option or the easier option. We tend to ignore our intrinsic curiosity for what’s popular today and end up with suboptimal results. My goal is to help you figure out what you are good at, what you love to do and what you can be paid for on the internet - with or without advertising revenue

💌 Yuval Noah Harari's Entrepreneurial Pursuits, Book Income and Creator Stack - Historian and author of blockbuster non-fiction “Sapiens” had a hard time getting published. Most publishers turned him down when he pitched to them. They thought the sweeping history of mankind will not be of much interest to the readers. The topic seemed too broad for a book and too vague to capture audience interest.
💌 Balaji Srinivasan's mental models on history - Balaji Srinivasan has written a fascinating new book called The Network State where he explains how to build new countries in the 21st century. There are fascinating concepts he introduces that we will unpack this month. Let us start with the foremost toolkit in Balaji’s arsenal - history. He explains this with strong arguments.
