I’m curious about all that it means to exist on this spinning rock flying through space and I’d like to share my curiosities with anyone that is interested.
This is a collection of my favorite books, articles, podcasts, and videos.
It’s a place for me to store and display the best of what I’ve come across on my continuing quest for knowledge. It’s my way of paying forward all the invaluable information other people have been kind enough to share.
I hope this page helps you learn something new. I invite you to browse and see what you uncover.
Philosophy & Living a Good Life
Naval Ravikant on the Tim Ferriss Podcast (ep. 473): One of the best podcast episodes I have listened to. Period. Naval is rife with insights across a plethora of areas including philosophy, money, happiness, and much more.
My favorite quote from the podcast is
“You’re alive. You have one very short life. When your life ends, it goes to zero. To you, it’s indistinguishable from your perspective, your death is indistinguishable from the end of the world. As far as you’re concerned, the world has disappeared because when you came into existence the world appeared, when you go out of existence, the world disappears. That is so consequential that it makes the rest of your life inconsequential. That is a form of freedom. You should enjoy yourself. You should not suffer in this life. If you are just constantly suffering, then figure out how to get out of that suffering. If you can’t get out of that suffering, then figure out how to redefine your internal worldview so that you don’t necessarily view it as suffering any more than the extent that you need to to get out of it.”
I recommend listening along with the podcast transcript to fully immerse yourself in the experience.

Organization & Systems
Ryan Holiday’s Notecard System: This is the system I’ve adopted to keep important quotes and ideas all in one place. I have various methods of capturing ideas on the computer, but there is something about writing out things by hand that makes them stick better.
