MoFE. This was described to me as “a guided lucid dream,” but here’s the official description: “MoFE is a venue in Brooklyn, NY, for immersive storytelling that combines Virtual Reality and Ambisonic sound design.

Your mileage may vary, but it’s been a wonderful new audio sanctuary for calming down and writing.— Tim Ferriss

Here is one of the many paragraphs I highlighted for myself: “It’s useful to focus on adding another zero to whatever you define as your success metric—money, status, impact on the world, or whatever. I am willing to take as much time as needed between projects to find my next thing. But I always want it to be a project that, if successful, will make the rest of my career look like a footnote.” Here is another: “I believe that it’s easier to do a hard startup than an easy startup.
