Barry Ritholtz recommends...

edited January 2018 in The OT Bullpen
I suppose we all know his name. Professionally, he's connected to Josh Brown, too. Ritholtz routinely offers stuff not directly related to investing, stuff that's chewable, interesting, stuff to learn from. (And he himself did not write the article.)

Excerpt from this article about the late genius, Claude Shannon:
"The pursuit of money is a powerful distraction from the pursuit of what truly matters. Money is neither the root of all evil nor the solution to all of our problems. The question is whether it gets in the way of what’s morally important...In the end, the lesson of Shannon’s financial life isn’t just the indifference to money — it’s that he was both indifferent to it and managed to acquire it. We think the former freed up the brain space to work on the things that led to the latter. It’s an important insight for all of us."
(It's the 2nd linked article in the list provided.)
