Food for thought for the Weekend: My series where I present assorted collection of interesting blog posts, TED talks, podcast and articles I read/listened this week, some quotes that resonated with me, and excerpts from my own reading.

Ben Horowitz (@bhorowitz) is a cofounder and general partner at the venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz. He is the author of the New York Times bestseller, The Hard Thing About Hard Things, and the upcoming Harper Business book, What You Do Is Who You Are, available October 29th.

In this podcast, Tim Ferris talks to Ben Horowitz whose new book "What You Do Is Who You Are" which is creating waves. In this podcast, Ben talks about management and leadership, advice for first time executive, tools and techniques Ben found useful for leadership, self-talk, sharpening the contradictions, and many more things.
