In 1888, at 54 years old, the famous Swedish inventor of dynamite underwent a radical personal transformation.
Here’s how he changed his legacy (and how you can, too):

Sandy Robertson (BBA ’53, MBA ’54, HLLD ’15), a valued member of my President’s Advisory Group passed away this week. I will miss him greatly and have his wife Nancy and family in my thoughts and prayers.
I am deeply saddened by the loss of my dear friend & mentor, Sandy Robertson. For over 20 years, Sandy stood by my side & served as an amazing Lead Director of the Salesforce Board of Directors. He was a great leader in our industry, founding companies like Robertson Stephens & Francisco Partners. Sandy had a hand in financing over 500 growth technology companies, including giants like Dell, AOL, & Sun. He was also a deeply dedicated philanthropist who inspired me to support UCSF. My heartfelt condolences to Laura, Brett, Nancy, and his entire family. May the One who brings Peace bring Peace to All. ❤️
Sandy Robertson was a visionary tech pioneer, an active citizen who worked for more inclusive economic and social conditions, and a very good man. I’ll always be grateful for his steadfast support, especially hosting my first San Francisco fundraiser in his home. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.
There are a few times in life when you read a new book and realize that your life will be transformed if you follow its teachings. @PeterAttiaMD’s Outlive is such a book. It can save, or at a minimum massively improve, your life. I can’t imagine a better investment for 28 bucks.
Whenever I get to know someone who seems perfect, I end up disappointed. Whenever I get to know someone who I think is the worst of the worst, I'm pleasantly surprised. Angels and demons aren't real.
I also refused a booster and explained why to my doctor. She appreciated hearing and agreed.

Take a moment to be still. Notice what's here.
What do you hear? What do you see? What do you feel?
Where is your mind?
Take a breath.
Relax into this moment.
Say to yourself: "Right now, it's like this."
Welcome back to your life.
@alextatem @hubermanlab Agreed. But how do you define supratherapeutic levels of T? I have not been able to find a solid consensus on the target range for a patient on TRT.
Major scientific announcement expected tomorrow regarding the long sought milestone of harnessing nuclear fusion to create more energy than scientists put in--one step closer to poetically creating a small star here on Earth.

I just want to make a few things clear:
The Holocaust happened.
Hitler was a demonic figure.
And instead of giving it a platform, our political leaders should be calling out and rejecting antisemitism wherever it hides.
Silence is complicity.
