The weekend reads are a little thin this week because I've either been reading the back of my eyelids (read: sleep!) or the second installment in the Dune series. Good ol' paper books! I hope you enjoy them - the long read on Russian spies is especially good.

"You can't be great on the side." Some sound advice from Chris Rock's Proust questionnaire. 

Prolific leaders are often the most frustrating ones - Steve Jobs, Elon Musk...and they all have two traits that are totally counterintuitive. 

Are you a "no" woman? "No one ever warns you that saying no is so time-consuming. Even when naysaying is a valued trait — part of the job description for a crucial role at the company — that doesn’t mean it’s easy to say no day after day or that your colleagues will appreciate hearing from you." 

I appreciate all the detailed thought that goes into a rebrand. Much of it makes sense, but often times there's a lot of pomp and circumstance that doesn't. 

I love the Costco food court so much. 

A long read: Russian spies and the man who solved his own murder just before he died. 

Have a great weekend, dears! Don't eat too much dip when you're watching the Super Bowl!
