I'm really getting a lot out of Tim Ferriss' podcast http://fourhourworkweek.com/podcast/ lately. Especially the episodes with Kelly Starrett, Josh Waitzkin, Sam Harris, Peter Attia, Pavel Tsatsouline and Whitney Cummings. I think at a certain point you start to recognize that more tech isn't helping as much as it was (diminishing returns perhaps) and that a more holistic approach to improving is necessary.

I get my tech news from http://AllTechNews.co

I just visit hacker news every few hours. If it makes it to the frontpage, then it is worth reading (if it interests me of course).

I tried subscribing to blogs and newsletter and I never read them - I just end up with another inbox that I can't empty.

Also http://www.hackernewsletter.com/ is awesome - I get a weekly email with the "best of HN" in case I missed them...

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Can you list a few examples of things you have learned or been enlightened about?

+1 for this! Here were some of the concepts from Tim's interviews that I still think about: 1. Meditation comes up in a lot of the podcasts as a performance practice (as opposed to spiritual practice). It's good to hear that reinforced by a lot of successful people. 2. I use a technique from the Josh Waitzkin episode about priming your brain with hard problems to work on while you sleep. You finish your work day with…

Thank you :)

Highly recommend the a16z podcast: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/a16z/id842818711 Episodes are usually small bites (~20-30 mins) of discussion/interviews on one of the upcoming technologies/trends by a couple of Andreessen Horowitz partners and an invited guest. Content is usually pretty insightful and they are really good at doing a thorough analysis of the current status of the tech industry.

Oh wow really cool! Been getting more into bitcoin this year, this will help give me a bit of insight and stay current with the latest discussions.

Thanks!
