I don't see Value for Value Profit listed.

Books recommending books is a rabbit hole in itself 😅

Caused me the last few years to buy books at a rate higher than I could ever read them 😓

3x speed is your friend.

I used to be on the 3x train. I got there eventually after 2.5x.

I now for the most part 1x. If I want to quickly absorb something I'll read or get the transcription.

I noticed that faster than 1x audio was making me impatient and agitated. So for me, I just stopped listening to things that are bad at 1x instead of everything at 3x.

There was a nice geek meme about a recursive function of reading books that mention other books. I do this myself it does tend to a depth-first-search and you go down some nice rabbit holes.
