from Curiosity Class · host jeffalbaum

In this solo episode, I break down some of my biggest takeaways from Runnin’ Down a Dream by Bill Gurley.I’ve always loved reading, and I really believe books are one of the highest-leverage things you can invest in. You’re basically getting decades of someone’s thinking for the price of a book.I share a story from the book that really stuck with me, along with one of the core ideas: instead of trying to “find your passion,” just follow your curiosity.If you’re thinking about your career, feeling a bit stuck, or just want to hear a different way to think about it - I think you’ll enjoy this one.💡 What You’ll Learn:Why books are one of the most asymmetric bets you can makeThe mindset shift from “find your passion” → “follow your curiosity”A powerful perspective on time, life, and doing work you actually enjoy📚 Honorable Mentions:How small daily habits (like reading) compound over timeBrandon Turner on books being an amazing investmentTim Ferriss on always having a “budget for books”Link to buy the book
