Ultralearning

Finished2024
Master hard skills, outsmart the competition, and accelerate your career through aggressive, self-directed learning.
Key takeaway: Learn by doing directly rather than getting stuck in passive theory first.
In high school and university, the default approach was always theory first followed by attempting to apply it. Ultralearning flips that on its head: run into the wall while trying to accomplish a real task, and then use theory to solve the exact obstacle in front of you.
This inspired me to escape “tutorial hell” by building projects from scratch and maintaining a daily coding habit.
Effortless

Make it easier to do what matters most by removing unnecessary friction from daily habits and projects.
A solid follow-up to Essentialism. Instead of brute-forcing every goal through sheer willpower, Effortless focuses on designing systems with lower activation energy so that starting—and staying consistent—becomes the path of least resistance.
Million Dollar Weekend

Finished2024
The surprisingly simple way to launch a 7-figure business in 48 hours by overcoming the fear of starting and asking.
The recurring theme that resonated most with me: just start. Over-planning is a subtle form of procrastination; shipping a small experiment quickly teaches you more than weeks of speculation.
Animal Farm

Finished2024
A timeless satirical allegory of power, revolution, and how lofty ideals can be gradually corrupted through language.
Short, sharp, and unforgettable. Orwell packs more insight into a hundred pages than most novels manage in five hundred.
