Great letter (again) Matt - thank you for the book recommendations. I am not sure I can face Gladwell‘s book (there was a similar debate with books on both sides of the argument) around the anniversary of the burning of Dresden and Bomber Harris‘ highly contentious targettig of civilian populations to break the spirit of resistance - which didn‘t work btw) but I will now finally grab a copy of the Midnight Library and am looking forward to Natalie Goldberg‘s book. Happy Christmas Matt

Thanks Steven! Some have been critical that Gladwell’s book is too short and/or too accepting of LeMay’s position. I found it a good intro to their strategies, and totally see where you’re coming from.

Merry Christmas to you!

I absolutely love this edition. "The Strategic Authenticity" really resonates with me and I am in parts already applying this to my newsletter, admittedly sometimes struggeling with it...

And thank you so much for the list of books. I love to read and recommendations always help to get inspired - The Midnight Library is ordered!
