Abundant Thinking by Elan Gelfand

Writers talking about writing. A community of authors talking about the process and craft, story telling vs raw truth, the business and purpose of writing, and a humble mindset for creators.

Marie Kondo your goals, mistakes are the fountain of youth, Buridan's donkey, suspending judgement, concise writing, your first thought is an obstacle.

Social media, pleasing the algorithm is not worth the price, virtual progress, run the program, no need to struggle, entrepreneur is moot, expire your labels quickly, death as a tool for focus.

No speed limit, creating your own opportunities, adding value, First Follower, Useful Not True, Explorer vs Leader

Creative process, authenticity, vulnerability, feeling untethered from your country of origin, belief, spirituality, interpreting reality.

How to Live and its orchestra metaphor, Asian parent guilt, family dynamics, romantic relationships, loneliness, money and morality of business, shallow vs deep joy from money, everything is figureoutable.

Effectiveness of programming solo, my tech preferences, software philosophy, my people database and productivity tools, writing, social travel, dating, questioning beliefs.

Reframing, choosing new beliefs, balancing self-conviction with others' opinions, consistency vs change, expiring your self-definitions, manufacturing urgency, helping others change.

Minimalism, De-othering, I'm not from here, Heroes, Protecting your inputs, writing as self-exploration, balancing consumption and creation, my life story in four nutshells.

What we learn from travel, Useful Not True, empathy, embracing discomfort, modern China.
