Ring Door Cameras, Eric Barker on Emotional Intelligence, Tim Urban on Emailing - #17 - 1/10/2020
HAPPY NEW YEAR! And happy "Wednesday"... "Don, it's Thursday" - I know, I was doing some training yesterday so now I'm doing this.
ALERT! Apparently... it seems like this email is hitting everyone's spam filter. Well f*ck. Then what's the point if no one is even reading the first paragraph. I've given up. I'm gonna leave LA, go to Kansas, and raise two loving children and a wife on a farm with a white picket fence, write a novel about family and farming and good Christian values, grow super old as dust, and burn my house down in a quasi-arson-suicide attack so that my family can bank on life insurance and home owners insurance. PERFECTION...
... on another note...
It's a good January. It's chilly but not too chilly. Just chilly enough to not wear a jacket, like to have a long sleeve - that way, we all look Nordic, like those guys that wear turtlenecks and live in minimalist glass houses in towns called Lidingömalmösundbyberg.
UPDATE @ 1:03PM - HOLY SH!T, IT'S FREEZING. WHY DID I WEAR A LONG SLEEVE.

Barking Up the Wrong Tree is a great blog by Eric Barker. He's a writer, blogger, and a crazy frantic reader of articles, books, and studies. He puts a lot of time into his posts - enough to make it a book (hitting shelves this month). Here is his latest article on Emotional Intelligence. Full article in this email!
