Collection of books, articles, and other things I have read over the weeks.
Article summarizes my frustrations with current hospitality interior design trends well: "Everything feels safe, not pushing any boundaries, but perfectly calm and comforting to sit in, clicking away at an Apple laptop while drinking some Rwandan coffee.". And also proposes where we might be going.
I would not call myself a fast reader, but I flew through this book. I appreciated that it's a memoir that doesn't only talk about just Nike, but about life and work more generally. I think we all strive to find something we are obsessed with as much as Phil was with shoes back in 1964.
Good piece on how to redirect focus from your outer world to your inner world and vice versa
Excellent article on J. Crew, it's "gateway influence", and how we are all living in the kingdom of prep.
