Founder’s Guide to Psychology

Hello Founders and Friends,

Many people think of me as a founder psychologist—and they aren’t wrong.

While I’ve read hundreds of books and taken dozens of courses on human psychology over the years, there’s no substitute for spending nearly 4,000 hours in coaching sessions with CEOs.

Humans are predictably irrational. Even if the following articles don’t apply to you, they probably apply to everyone else.

Let me know what you think?

Warmly,

Dave

P.S. Here’s a comprehensive list of all my essays about psychology. Please, write back with a topic you’d like me to write about.

P.P.S. I run a global founder community called Founder Coach. We select high-growth founders, train them in how to coach, and curate stage-specific peer groups to accelerate their development. Our founders are backed by Coatue, Accel, YC and pretty any top fund you care to mention.

If you know an ambitious founder who might be curious to learn more, would you connect me directly?
