Um so, one book is pertinent to the discussion that we had a moment ago, which is called The Hour Between Dog and Wolf. It's written by John Coates, who is an academic economist who then um became a derivatives trader, I think, for Deutsche Bank in New York.

On Lenny's Podcast in January 2024, Jonny Miller discussed the book while exploring the connection between human physiology and economic behavior.
