Books
The Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fuck by Mark Manson. A paradox of a title to be sure. Mr. Manson provides a bit of a full book functioning as a Zen Koan by examining: if we stop caring so much about everything, will we more effectively care about that which we choose?
movies
The Clone Wars (final season). A guilty pleasure. I started watching this with my kid during its first season (although let’s face it, I’m a Star Wars nerd and would have watched it anyway). The final season includes some arcs relevant to life after leaving one’s mentor.
Podcasts
Tim Ferriss Show, episodes #25,#26, #27. Interview of Kevin Kelly Includes a discussion of the topic of cultivating 1000 true fans. Important idea in business, and relevant to mentoring because you can’t be EVERYONE’s mentor: you must cultivate proteges specific to you.
