Polymath - Showcase Project

The rule for decision making in life and business goes like this: The person with the fewest blind spots wins. It’s like being at a poker table where you can see everyone else’s cards. But how do you get there? How do you reduce blind spots? How do you learn faster and make better decisions than everyone else? The best way I’ve found is reading. Books encompass nearly all the world’s knowledge. And you can read 2-5X faster than you can watch or listen. 📚 But there’s one problem: There’s thousands of books worth reading. But (if you're like me) you probably don’t have the TIME to read them all. ⌛ Even if you’re a voracious reader and finish one book a week. That’s 52 books per year. Over a lifetime of 70 years, 3640 books. That’s a speck of the 1-3 MILLION books published every year. A fraction of one book category on Amazon. (The search term "marketing books" has over 90,000 results). And I get it - the VAST majority of books aren't worth reading. But the fact remains: 👉 There’s more useful information available to us than we have time to consume and comprehend. That’s why I’m starting a new project: http://polymath.press/ Polymath is a 2000-character or less daily email designed to make you 1% smarter every day. You can read it in less than 3 minutes and walk away with a better understanding of the world so you can make better decisions and live a better life. Here’s what you’ll learn in the emails I’m sending out this week: ✅ The Thinking Strategy Aristotle, Elon Musk, Charlie Munger, and The World’s Greatest Samurai Use to Learn Anything ✅ 15 Life Formulas From Two Happy Multi-Millionaires ✅ The 3-Step Persuasion Strategy Used to Build Two $100 Million Companies and a Real Estate Empire ✅ How a Dyslexic Kid Reads 100 Books Per Year ✅ The Only 15 Words You Need To Know To Be Successful ✅ Advice on How to Get Rich From a Silicon Valley Legend You’ve Never Heard Of ✅ And much more... Each polymath newsletter is a concise synthesis of complicated topics from disparate sources with one goal in mind: 🚀 To accelerate learning for entrepreneurs. 🚀 Polymath does NOT include any spam, shortcuts, get-rich-quick schemes, “hacks,” or any of the typical bullshit you see on the internet about improving your business and life. Nor is it a bulleted newsletter like Tim Ferriss’s “5-Bullet Friday” that links to other blogs, books, and resources. You can read polymath in your inbox of choice in under 3 minutes. So, if this sounds interesting to you, click the link below to subscribe free 👇 http://polymath.press/ I never send spam, ever. And you can unsubscribe anytime with one click.
