For those of you with kids, the most important thing you can do is instill a growth mindset, which I discuss in part 5. Here's Drew Brees doing that on national TV when he tells his kids "You can accomplish anything in life if you are willing to work for it."

Vinod, Thanks for the kind words. Mike

I hope this doesn't sound like I am being a jerk, but the acronym is LEAPS, Long-Term Equity Anticipation Securities.

Thanks! Bought it. Nice patience, just like a good value investor waiting for your price! I bought it two days ago :( LOL, thanks. I buy some books at full price too... ??? Got $5 for ebooks if you spend $20 on ebooks deal expiring tomorrow. Not sure if I'm gonna figure out another $15.01 to spend on something. ::) That $20 promotion is why I went ahead and purchased Why We Sleep. Each semester I give a couple of lectures (This Spring will be my 76th semester teaching!) on "How to Learn." One think I talk about is thet the role of sleeping for learning. So I wanted to read "Why We Sleep" during the Holiday break to see if there is anything I can add to my lectures. boilermaker75. Wow! That is impressive. If possible, could you please share any details for those of us who are not in a position to take your course? Any pointers to blogs or teaching material you can share would be very helpful. If it is an online course please do provide links. Always interested in the "How to Learn" category both for myself and for my kids. And I am sure many board members would likewise be interested. Thanks Vinod I'm actually working on making these more polished and updating the material. When I do and get them recorded, in a couple of months, they will appear at https://nanohub.org/groups/u But for now,

I had never heard of Norberts Gambit, so I had to look it up. I learn something new here every day!

I haven't read the book, but I saw the movie with William Shatner (Captain Kirk) and Richard Basehart (Admiral Nelson)!

I've read two of Chernow's books, Hamilton and the House of Morgan. Both superb. My daughter fell in love with the play Hamilton seeing it several times including taking me once. So I gave her a signed first edition of Hamilton. She reciprocated by giving me all Chernow's other books. I was thinking Washington would be my next one. I got to go see Chernow interviewed by Brian Lamb. Chernow started it by rapping one of the songs from Hamilton.

Is it soapy with exaggerated overacting? I've recently watched, again, Ken Burns' The Civil War. Fantastic, as always. The Expansion season 4 and The Witcher are coming soon, looking forward to both. I don’t think “The Crown” has any overacting, I found the acting exquisite. It’s a bit like Downton Abbey in a way, except all the characters and events are real. The season 1 was slow at times and I almost thought I would skip and look for something else, but Season 2 and especially Season 3 got better and better. Speaking of the UK, I just finished watching all 3 seasons of "Harlots" on Hulu. Good show. If you like UK stuff I would highly recommend "Endeavor" and "Inspector Lewis." Excellent acting, great character development. Endeavor tends to have a little bit too complicated plots, but the best characters and acting.

Happy Holidays All! Thanks to everyone for making this a great site and for all your contributions. Happy New Year soon! 2020, wow that seemed so far in the future at one point for me I would have envisioned something like the Jetsons.
