📚 Leaving a $275,000,000 Fortune, The Power of Regret, the Limitless Future of Humanity, and More!

YOUTUBE 📚 THE READING LIFE 📚 PATREON

📚 Hey, good evening!

Just a very short note today. I wanted to pass along a few books I’ve been loving this week.

Before I get to that, though, I’ve just posted a new YouTube video about a businessman who left a $275,000,000 fortune to charity after he died.

His name is W. Clement Stone, and he also wrote a wonderful little book (with an unfortunate title) called The Success System That Never Fails.

I know, I know.

It’s not exactly the kind of title you’d want to be seen reading in public. But it’s really good!

Good enough that I spent 10+ hours making a whole video about it. 

I’ve also just published my full breakdown of The Power of Regret, by Daniel H. Pink. I’ll be sharing more details about it in my other newsletter, The Reading Life, on Monday, but if you don’t want to wait, it’s available now (for free).

Another excellent book that I just started reading (and that’s also free to read online) is The Anthology of Balaji, by my friend Eric Jorgenson.

I’m honestly not sure which of us is more optimistic about the future: Balaji, Eric, or I, but we’ve basically agreed that the future of humanity is going to be AMAZING.

And this book is about building it. 

Then lastly, I started making the Stairway to Wisdom newsletter free for everyone as well.

For most of the full book breakdowns, you’ll need to be a paying member to read, but the newsletters will now be free, and here’s the latest one I just sent out. 

It’s got a profile on the brilliant writer Ursula K. Le Guin (she's one of my favorites), three books that will help you survive (and thrive) during a recession, wisdom from an extremely valuable book about building a powerful professional network, and a whole lot more, and it’s now free!

There’s a bunch more to tell you about, but then this wouldn’t be a “very short note,” then would it?

So with all that said, enjoy your Sunday!

All the best,

Matt Karamazov
