Land's Polaroid

This book by Peter Wensberg was genuinely recommended once in the episodes we index, on Tim Ferriss. The people who vouched for it on air: David Senra. It comes up in conversations about productivity & performance, relationships. Every quote below is verbatim, attributed, and linked to the exact second it was said. Sourced expert opinion, not medical advice.

Chronicles the story of Edwin Land, the publicity-shy genius who created the Polaroid Corporation and brought the world instant photography, only to lose control of his own creation.

• “There is a book, I think it's called Land's Polaroid. That's the one I'd read because it's only 250 pages and it's written by a guy that worked for and with Edwin Land for like 20 years.”

  Why it counts as a recommendation: “That's the one I'd read”
