- Tomorrow at 10 am ET, I'm joining a Twitter spaces discussion with John Barry! (The author of the book "The Great Influenza" about the 1918 pandemic). Looking forward to it especially since Barry is such an amazing historian. https://t.co/btOn8tkDniLink to Tweet
- A slate of books that have helped me tremendously as of late: — Paris 1919 — A Little History of The World — How to Change Your Mind — Stephen King’s “On Writing” — Van Doren’s “Authentic" — Jung's “The Archetypes…” — The Great Influenza — What Happened To You? — Green LightsLink to Tweet
- Reading John Barry's book and I keep thinking -- What have we learned since the last pandemic? Anything? And we had 102 years to prepare for the next big one! https://t.co/PMcghlFTbKLink to Tweet

- The Great Influenza by John Barry is equal parts terrifying (influenza is a bad MFer) and inspiring (the doctors who were fighting it) Read this to better understand the flu Or don't read this if you panic easily What a sad/scary/unbelievable story https://t.co/34LC897cfb https://t.co/eEPanijB71Link to Tweet
