Autobiography of a Yogi
Steve Jobs gave this book to everyone at his funeral. He first read it as a teenager and then annually his whole life.
I first read it while adventuring in Bali in 2000. And I’ve re-read it again. (But not annually, so I’m now slacking relative to Steve on more than one metric.)
The author, Paramahansa Yogananda, recounts his personal experiences with many “saints and sages” of India. One never ate. Another never slept. Some could levitate.
Perhaps expanding our definition of what’s possible — despite what seems to be fairy tales — is exactly what we need right now.

Create Your Own Luck
Dr. James Austin describes four types of luck.
(Hint: It’s not always random.)
Blind Luck — Ex: Being born in the U.S. vs. a war-torn country.
Luck from Motion — Ex: More networking. More generosity.
Luck from Awareness — Ex: Make time to observe. Genius comes in silence.
Luck from Uniqueness — Ex: Master skills or domains that others ignore.
🙏 Share this newsletter with a friend.
Because we have to spread the word about optimism + opportunities in climate tech.
That’s all, y’all.
Make it a great week because it’s usually a choice.
