Richard Feynman told so many good stories that even after death, he would not be completely gone. Apollo 11 astronauts described their moonwalk as spectacular but not momentous. 37,000 Americans died in car accidents in 1955 - six times the number of miles driven.
Sometimes the best you can do when learning about any topic is to memorize a few short stories -- quick, direct, and to the point, that you're likely to remember forever.
This episode shares 15 short stories that have stuck with me, and helped me contextualize so many things in life, work, and investing.
One other note: I have a new book coming out this November. It's called Same as Ever, and you can pre-order it here: http://amzn.to/41CHgKM
