Talking Brook: 'Yaron Brook Show: WeWork Fiasco & Silicon Valley Culture'
Dr. Yaron Brook may have a PhD in finance, but he works like a chemist. One day, he’s waxing poetic about the beauties of an opera. A few days later, he’s discussing the beauty of markets with the same passion and thorough delivery as in the previous episode. This experimentation with different branches (aesthetics and politics and economics, respectively) allows him to convey a message of rationality and substance. Here, he explores the inner-workings of one of the nation’s most treasured regions: Silicon Valley.

You Died by Suicide
You died by suicide. This morning I was rushed. I always feel rushed. I feel rushed by More. In healthcare, More is this tangible thing like a fork or a spoon.

Yesterday More was the number of patient visits being tracked. The day before this More took form as patient satisfaction scores. Last week More was the system reminding me of the hundreds of incomplete tasks that needed completion—if only there were thirty hours in the day I tell myself; if only I was a machine which never needed sleep. How dare of me to require such a thing.
