previous featured AUTHORS
Brett Atlas | February 1, 2022
Brett discusses his book Three
Things Matter Most, which was published last year.
“This
book began as a collection of Post-it notes, journal entries, and
emails,” he writes in the introduction.
“I wanted to develop a repository of generational wisdom for my kids to
have... Also, I wanted to write it to see if I could do it—and I hope it
inspires people to think.”
