(3) My summary of Tyler Cowen's approach to leading an intellectually fulfilling life by David Gasca (9 mins)
Tyler Cowen, an economist and polymath, is admired for his insatiable curiosity and wide-ranging intellectual pursuits, which the author relates to and sees as a validation of their own diverse interests.
