Back in August, Ben Casnocha (entrepreneur, business blogger, and author of My Startup Life) and I had a very interesting conversation about business books, self-education, and business mental models.
Ben just launched a cool new side project called Think Different TV, and invited me to have a follow-up discussion in a different format: online video. In this video, we discuss…
- Personal development books like Personal Development for Smart People, Loving What Is, and The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People.
- Ambition and the difference between being motivated by power/status and being motivated by service/craftsmanship.
- Effective non-fiction reading techniques.
- The importance of mental models from non-business subjects like psychology and the physical sciences.
To watch the 40 minute discussion, you can use the embedded player above or check out this page, which also features a summary of the discussion. Enjoy!

Nice, just a shame the last couple of minutes didn’t come through.
