Paul Romer's ideas on how best to develop a sustainable, creative and fulfilling future (for all)
“Groups of people always find it difficult to change the rules, even when other rules would clearly be better. Charter cities—dozens of them, perhaps even hundreds—could be the skunkworks that bring systemic change to entire nations. Ultimately, they could give the billions of people who will soon move to cities the chance to experiment with, and opt into, rules that let them achieve their full potential.” —Paul Romer (Harvard Business Review)"

Fascinating story on Bear Grylls' very full and dynamic life.
"Life can be quite fluffy at times, and I like it when it gets much more raw. There's a strength in the camaraderie of big expeditions. You see people as they are, and you communicate properly, and you work to your max - everything else is stripped away. I like that."
Life lived large, one might say, based as he explains on fear and faith.
Reminds me of "Feel the fear and do it anyway" (haven't read the book, but the title is brilliant, imho).
