Almost every field offers valuable lessons. If you think a field isn’t interesting, you haven’t done the work. Learning key ideas from many fields helps you develop new ideas and broaden your thinking. Creativity often happens at the intersection of seemingly unrelated areas. — PolitiTweet.org

A few hacks I’ve found useful: 1) for non-fiction, allow yourself to skip around within and across books. What matters is time spent learning, and your intuition is a great guide. 2) videos and podcasts of authors and thinkers can be excellent surveys of new topics. — PolitiTweet.org

Optimize for being around people with strong ethics who teach and challenge you. For example, if you join a startup with great people, regardless of whether the startup works, you’ll learn a lot and develop relationships with people who go on to do interesting things. — PolitiTweet.org
