#010 - Make the best of 2022
2022 will be the year of web3!
Hello everyone,
Let’s have a fu$∞ing awesome 2022. The very first newsletter of 2022 is full of great content - we have Ray Dalio 2x (scroll down), predictions for the new year from top experts (including Scott Belsky), and more.
Above all, I wish you all a Dave Grohl year (this is the best video of 2021 :-))
“Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself.” - Leo Tolstoy
Before we dive into the great content I consumed last week I will share a great video of Atomic Habits, a contemporary masterpiece, and game-changing book.
“All big things come from small beginnings. The seed of every habit is a single, tiny decision. But as that decision is repeated, a habit sprouts and grows stronger. Roots entrench themselves and branches grow. The task of breaking a bad habit is like uprooting a powerful oak within us. And the task of building a good habit is like cultivating a delicate flower one day at a time.”
― James Clear, Atomic Habits: An Easy & Proven Way to Build Good Habits & Break Bad Ones
