This page shares my best articles to read on topics like learning, decision-making, wealth, creativity, productivity, and more.
The central question that drives my work is, “How can we go to bed smarter than when we woke up?” I do this by “mastering the best of what other people have already figured out.” After all it’s much easier to benefit from lessons that other people have already paid the price for than making all the mistakes yourself.
You’ll find interesting articles to read on topics like making better decisions, accelerating learning, and more. You’ll also find articles explaining how to use mental models, how to read better, and finding your purpose. Ready to dive in?
