In a world obsessed with the "new," we often discard the "old" as obsolete. But the Lindy Effect suggests the exact opposite: For non-perishable things like ideas, books, and technologies, the life expectancy increases with every day of survival. A book that has been in print for 50 years can be expected to be in print for another 50. A book released today might be gone tomorrow.This book explores the counter-intuitive power of time as a filter. It explains why ancient wisdom (Stoicism, Buddhism) is surging in popularity while last years self-help bestseller is already forgotten. It challenges our obsession with innovation, arguing that "new" usually means "untested" and "fragile.""The Lindy Effect" is a guide to curating your information diet. Learn why you should read old books, build skills that have existed for centuries (writing, speaking, logic), and ignore the noise of the ephemeral. In an age of digital rot, the only way to predict the future is to look at what has survived the past.

Cash flow dried up, inventory piled up, and the company went bankrupt.This is the "Osborne Effect"the act of unintentionally destroying your own business by announcing a future product too early. This book analyzes the history of corporate self-sabotage, from the Sega Saturn launch to the decline of auto manufacturers who tease EVs years in advance.It is a study in the delicate art of timing. How do you build hype without killing current sales? How do you manage the "innovators dilemma" without falling into the "marketing suicide trap"? A crucial read for founders and marketers on the dangers of letting your mouth run faster than your supply chain.

In 1839, the United States and Great Britain almost went to war over trees. The border between Maine and New Brunswick was undefined, and valuable timberland lay in the disputed zone. When Canadian lumberjacks started chopping down "American" pines, the Governor of Maine sent in the militia.This is the story of the Aroostook War, affectionately known as the "Pork and Beans War" due to the soldiers diet. It involved angry lumberjacks, a massive deployment of troops, and a lot of posturing, but miraculously, zero combat deaths. The only casualties were two soldiers who froze to death and a cow that was shot by mistake."The Pork and Beans War" is a humorous yet fascinating look at how close two allies came to bloodshed over resources. It highlights the power of diplomacy (and a convenient map fraud) in resolving the conflict, ultimately defining the peculiar northeastern border of the USA.
