Missing What Matters: How Today's Books Lack Authenticity
from NonTrivial · host Sean McClure
Many of us are avid readers, because reading helps us learn about important topics, and more importantly compels us to create things ourselves. But today's nonfiction is loaded with so many references and footnotes that their isn't much room left for the author's authentic opinion.I argue that many creators are researching themselves out of their opinion, leaving us with dry commentary devoid of what matters; the author's rich and messy experiences.I argue that we need the organic mess as much as any rationalized arguments, and that THIS holistic and imperfect form of communication is what gives us high quality information that has meaning.Support the showBecome a Member at dekyon.io/seanmcclure/nontrivialPremium members get access to the full member app. This includes data visualizations of the core concepts in each episode, a Study Space for learning fundamentals, and premium articles on Techniques and Mindsets.Members can also save personal notes, explore episode summaries and transcripts, search across episodes, track watch history and progress, and participate in the community forum.
