Adi Kotecha

Hello, my name is Adi. Welcome to my home on the Internet.

Some things about me:

• I grew up in the Bay Area, and currently live in Brooklyn, NY.
• My favorite things to do are play tennis, go on long runs, practice yoga / meditation, dance to live music, and spend time with loved ones.
• I like to read and write. You can find a collection of my book reviews here, and I occasionally write blog posts on Substack.
• I am the head of finance at Posh. We're building human connection through events.
• I also angel invest through Fog Ventures.

A few lists:

• Favorite authors: Ursula Le Guin, Haruki Murakami, Ted Chiang, Khaled Hosseini, David Foster Wallace, Elif Shafak, Sally Rooney.
• A collection of short-form content I've bookmarked can be found here.
• Places on my travel bucket list: Patagonia, New Zealand, and Sub-Saharan Africa.

What I believe:

• The mind is an excellent servant, but a terrible master; attempting to develop mastery over mind is a worthy goal.
• The man in the arena is worth 1,000× more than the critic.
• Love in the heart of man is a shrine to God on Earth.
• Reward is amplified by effort.
• Prioritize process over outcome: hedonic adaptation makes outcome-chasing have terrible returns.
