Thank you Arman for summarizing each book. I just finished the first book. The most practical part for me is taking advantage of being unknown while starting.

It was a labor of love. I’m glad you enjoyed it. And even more glad you’re reading the books too! I think that’s such an underrated aspect of starting something new. Obscurity can be such a gift early on when you have no clue what you're doing.

Wow! I like how you added an Arman take on Austin's wisdom. I agree that we shouldn't always be thinking of how we can convert hobbies into dollars. Happiness is the best return on investment out there.

Thanks for this. I've read Austin's books a while back and they were definitely a catalyst for me to get started as well. It's good to be reminded of some of the gems in his work!
