Newsletter

Join the Book Club.

Develop and indulge your aesthetic tastes.

Do you love books?

Are you committed to a lifelong self-education program?

Does the following sound fun and fulfilling to you?

  • Reading and living the great books
  • Learning languages and mastering new skills
  • Becoming emotionally, financially, and spiritually literate 

Then you’ll love the Book Club. I designed this regular newsletter for you.

Topics covered in the newsletter:

  • Elite education, academia, and learning techniques
  • Business, finance, and money making tips
  • Interpersonal relationships and dynamics
  • Book, film, and music recommendations
  • Health, fitness, and well-being advice
  • Nuanced socio-political commentary
  • And much more

How often does the newsletter go out?

  • Minimum a couple of times a week, but I’m not averse to sending multiple emails a day depending on what’s going on. If you don’t want the potential of hearing from me that often, don’t sign up. It’s all good stuff and mostly valuable newsletter exclusive, but feel free to stick to visiting this website whenever you like.

One week you might receive recommendations for how to get into Russian literature, replete with the most artisan translations.

Another week we might open up a discussion on how to approach the Ancient Greeks, Shakespeare, or French Symbolism.

And another week might involve recommendations of classical music performances, directions for exploring bebop jazz, or a guide to exploring the world’s greatest galleries. 

My aim is to supply you with a consistent stream of first-class cerebrally and artistically delightful recommendations, along with practical real-world advice across multiple domains.

The newsletter is built from hardcore curation, built on a bedrock of the best book recommendations that run the gamut of the literary universe. From Pulitzer, Booker, and Nobel Prize winning fiction to page-turning pulp, from the latest and greatest in non-fiction to lesser-known masterpieces across every conceivable genre.

I recommend a small selection of books that I’ve recently fallen in love with every couple of weeks, along with articles, videos, opinion pieces, and open discussions.

I only recommend things that impacted me in a huge way – goodies that will move you, improve you, and make you think… All whilst you sip your morning coffee.

If you pride yourself on eclectic aesthetic tastes, developing the intellectual side of your humanity, and being something of a Renaissance man or woman, then you’ll derive a lot of value from the Book Club.

Membership is free.

But not everyone should join.

I’ve enjoyed sending these newsletters for a few years now.

I’ve met many wonderful people and developed deep friendships purely thanks to the Book Club.

And I’d like the newsletter to continue being an intimate, responsive, and exclusive group.

So make sure you only join if you’re keen on developing your artistic sensibilities and discussing books in a driven, passionate, loving way.

When you sign up, you’ll get a free copy of one of my books, 50 Life-Changing Study Hacks, as a token of my appreciation.

See on you the inside!
