The Shoulders of Giants newsletter is built around one question:
Why should we go through the journey of life with just our experiences?
Time is our most valuable resource. So knowledge on living life well is priceless.
It doesn't make sense to ignore the billions of lives before us—we should use them to get ahead.
So this newsletter is for those who want to get the most out of life.
Sound like you? I’m happy to have you here!
I got tired of reading and watching self-improvement content. I couldn't stand how cringey and empty it became. The well intentioned genre lost it's impact.
It just shared witty phrases to get people excited. The information wouldn't lead to change in real life.
I wanted gems of insight that could influence my life. I started finding them in obscure books, old philosophy, and the writings of great lives throughout history.
These gems were hard to find. Which made me think about the amount of people missing out on ideas that could make a real impact on their life.
That’s why I started this newsletter.
The Shoulders of Giants newsletter explores the minds of history’s greatest thinkers, regardless of how known they are.
Each issue focuses on one idea, supported by amazing passages, with commentary from me to draw connections.
One of my favorites is Meghan Daum's experience with youth being falsely romanticized (you can scroll through that issue below).
I hate bullshit, so I only send these newsletters when I have something worth sharing—typically once a month, and never more than twice.
Give your inbox something to look forward to and start getting the most out of life!
