I am a better financial analyst than futurist, so I generally prefer the likelihood of a good outcome to the slim chance of a fabulous outcome. I make bets on how big the market can be, but not on whether the science works. My favorites are low-cost producers in slower-changing oligopolies, where I can make rough estimates of the future earnings stream and not be dangerously wrong. Plus, there are moments when exposing myself to luck can pay off. To expose yourself to luck rather than buy a lottery ticket, it helps to approach tech valuation as both a technology futurist and a conventional financial analyst.
Big Money Thinks Small

All bodyweight practitioners will tell you a strong core is absolutely key. This is because you won’t be able to perform certain exercises without engaging the entire core just because of the unstable, unilateral nature of calisthenics. Don’t believe me? I bet you can perform a pretty heavy leg press while relaxing the core. But now try to do a single-leg pistol squat while relaxing the stomach. I guarantee you will end up on the floor.
The World's Fittest Book
Ross Edgley
Her curiosity piqued, Gallagher set out to better understand the role that attention—that is, what we choose to focus on and what we choose to ignore—plays in defining the quality of our life. After five years of science reporting, she came away convinced that she was witness to a “grand unified theory” of the mind: Like fingers pointing to the moon, other diverse disciplines from anthropology to education, behavioral economics to family counseling, similarly suggest that the skillful management of attention is the sine qua non of the good life and the key to improving virtually every aspect of your experience.
