The HyperRead is a weekly newsletter aimed at exploring strategies for living a more creative, intelligent, and fulfilling life.
My goal is to live intelligently, and to help as many people as possible become as smart as possible.
Intelligent living is ultimately about mastering your time, energy, and attention. There are many ways to go about achieving that mastery, but in The HyperRead, I focus on two:
1. Accelerated learning strategies
2. Reading good books
Hyperlearning is my term for accelerated learning that includes:
- speed reading
- memory strategies
- concentration/focus/meditation
- note taking
- journaling
- mental models
- and more
But having the tools to learn efficiently is just one part of the story. To tap into increased creativity and live a truly intelligent life, you need a good stock of interesting ideas.
And to do that, you must read good books.
I won’t tell you what to read. But I’ll share what I’m reading and what I like about it (or don’t like).
Typical book genres I read are:
- philosophy
- neuroscience
- entrepreneurship
- self improvement
- productivity
- spirituality
- science & technology
- general nonfiction
- some science fiction & classical literature
The HyperRead topics include:
- Creativity
- intelligence
- Memory & Learning
- Critical Thinking
- Spiritual growth
- Productivity
- High achievement
- Philosophy & the big picture
- General health & wellness
