Holy cow, that is crazy praise coming from a thinker I admire 🙏

[Josh Wolfe @wolfejosh]

1/ I just finished one of the best books I've EVER read.

Comes out next week.

My friend @DavidEpstein (Range, The Sports Gene) has written a masterpiece on the virtue of constraints, of not thinking OUTSIDE the box but "INSIDE the BOX"...

As a few quick excerpts that 🤯...

[David Epstein @DavidEpstein]

Still getting many messages about this. Not sure there's anything to be done, but open to suggestions!

There's an AI scam of me contacting researchers, and one of them wrote a Substack post about it:

@JMARTI12 Well, there ya go

[David Epstein @DavidEpstein]

That post reads 100% AI to me.

Every day now I get an email with this line: "Here's the part almost nobody sees."

@bbculp Guess I'd better get an email domain with my personal URL. (There are some AI scams of me going around, but the writing is still suspect.)

[David Epstein @DavidEpstein]

@bbculp Ah well, fair enough.

[David Epstein @DavidEpstein]

@bbculp I like that idea, but I also want to be able to identify AI;)

@TrainingInNYC Depressing. I get fake emails daily telling me my book has been selected for some club. They almost all include the line, "What I found genuinely [something]"

@TrainingInNYC Were all half-dozen from fake me?? Ugh. ...Fake me is putting my headshot in the signature, which I absolutely would never do;) I'm planning to get a https://t.co/8kQAmDqKds email, since I need to reach out to researchers and I'm worried this will make them suspect me.

[David Epstein @DavidEpstein]

@pdrantunez So glad you appreciated it Pedro.

[Pedro Antúnez @pdrantunez]

This is a mental model I didn't know I wanted and I have now:

"We should feel gratitude for the things that we don’t want and don’t have."

Thanks, @DavidEpstein.

Shout out to Inside the Box around 6:20

[Chicago Bears @ChicagoBears]

GM Ryan Poles is live with the media https://t.co/EP4cIWePhB

[CHGO Bears @CHGO_Bears]

Ryan Poles shouts out David Epstein and his book Inside The Box when it came to thinking about how the Simmons trade could limit some flexibility in the future.

[David Epstein @DavidEpstein]

@ActOfDog2 Very cool! I've seen that Ryan has often mentioned constraints in talking about the rebuild. Thanks for tagging me.

[David Epstein @DavidEpstein]

Well hey, that's pretty cool. Ryan has talked a lot about the importance of constraints in managing the @ChicagoBears rebuild

[jon greenberg @jon_greenberg]

Ryan Poles just shouted out @DavidEpstein's new book "Inside the Box: How Constraints Make Us Better." I can confirm it's very good.

The book Hotlist

[David Epstein @DavidEpstein]

The book Hotlist! Pretty neat: @ThisIsSethsBlog made a list of notable books that re-sorts itself based on those people click. I've read four of them in full, and parts of two others. Have you read any?? (Link in post below...)

[David Epstein @DavidEpstein]

@RishabhKhaneja @goodreads Hope you find it thought-provoking!
