"Thank you @DouglasKMurray for an early copy of your new book, "On Democracies and Death Cults"; will be buying copies for friends! Evil exists as a force in the world, as does good. Your talent is a precious gift, and your moral clarity will help to save Western Civilization."

""Plan less, iterate more" — one of many key insights from @amcafee in his new book "The Geek Way." How has Silicon Valley run circles around the incumbents? He breaks it down into four "geek" norms: Speed, science, openness & ownership. Ep 70: https://t.co/tzRkmvBP6Y"

"Shortly before Bud Light's historic collapse, Anson left to co-found Strive with our mutual friend @VivekGRamaswamy. In his new book "Last Call for Bud Light," he chronicles the rise & fall of a great American brand. I've always been a fighter; thanks to bold leaders speaking up about these issues - including Vivek's exceptional work when he ran for President - Anson agrees it's easier for everyone to push back on this nonsense if it shows up in their companies today."

""How to Conquer a College" & "How to Conquer a Society" are two key chapters in his book. He illustrates how small, radical mobs took down some of our large, elite institutions - and why it only takes a few courageous leaders to stop the madness! Tim's been instrumental in the country's "vibe shift", and his book is a must-read."

"Wilbur Ross is the king of turnarounds. He restructured $400B of assets in industries like steel & textiles, saving US jobs. After Wall Street, he was Commerce Sec. for Pres. Trump. Honored to talk to him about his new book "Risk and Returns" & moments that changed the world."

"He predicted when Putin would attack Ukraine. Now he's forecasting when Xi Jinping might invade Taiwan. Important discussion with CrowdStrike co-founder-turned-policy leader [he left CS years ago!] @DAlperovitch on his new book and Cold War II between US & China. Ep 93 out now"

"To pursue "equity," many organizations are ditching IQ tests and standardized exams. @coldxman explains why this hurts minorities and why colleges should put even more weight on SAT & ACT scores. Great to have Coleman on AO. Check out his new book "The End of Race Politics"."

"In his latest book "Best Things First," Bjorn lays out 12 policies that will do the most good for the least $$. The world WASTES BILLIONS on less effective policies in education (like smaller class sizes), versus what works best. Bjorn gives us the solution with the best ROI."

"Be sure to check out @PeterAttiaMD's new book "Outlive". During this interview, we didn't realize he was just about to release #1 NY Times bestseller! But it's well-deserved. https://t.co/zMhH5AKXUi"

"“It is the people who work intently on pleasing a narrow fan base, but pleasing them intensely, who end up with the skills and networks to market the product to broader audiences… first, please smaller and weirder audiences.” - @tylercowen & @danielgross in their new book TALENT"
