Hello there,
Today’s post will be short and sweet.
2023 has been a fabulous year of learning, writing, reading, and growing.
Before you drink yourself senseless, here are a few highlights to charge you up, nudge you to get smarter, and make learning a big priority for 2024.
Dive in for some inspiration and click on the links (sentences with underlines) to go deeper:
If you haven’t read it, check out ‘Think Like The Minimalist’. It’s consistently been in the Top 10 Bestsellers at Crossword throughout 2023. I hope it inspires you to think creatively as we enter the new year.
If you’re looking for some good books to read because that’s what your NY resolution is, I’d love to help and not see the idea get flushed down the craphole by the end of next week. Try starting with fiction, it’s much easier to get hooked. Start with these fantastic world-fiction recommendations. Or if you’re looking for some deeper stuff, here’s a bunch of intense reads.
But if you’re clear that books are just for decoration and you can never read them (even though you’d like to), I’ve got you covered. Here’s a collection of the best ideas I encountered this year. Read, reflect, and become wiser.
If you find it hard to even read articles, it’s cool. Your boy just started putting out some reels to cover interesting ideas and insights. If you want these insights but miss these newsletters from time to time, get your weekly fix with these videos.
But my ultimate hope is that you develop the ability to engage with long-form content, increase your attention span, and start thinking deeply. A good starting point to inspire you would be these pieces on optimal deprivation, digital minimalism, and embracing boredom.
Enough gyaan for the year. See you in 2024.
