I Write Therefore I Am: David Perell— Building A Second Brain + Write of Passage (#139)

David Perell is a modern philosopher-scholar. He is a Gen-Z version
of Seth Godin who both writes and thinks in public to become a more
refined intellectual. He is a brilliant raconteur who also partners
with Tiago Forte to produce the spectacular "Building a Second
Brain" course! Support our Sponsor LinkedIn Jobs! Use this link to

David's motto is: “Write every day.” Most of his essays are about
business, education, and what it means to be a citizen of the
Internet. These essays are a record of his intellectual quest to
make sense of the world. They’re the diary of his contemplative
life, and you will enjoy them. Start with the short-form essays and
work your way up to the long-form ones. https://perell.com/ David's
most popular short articles include The Price of Discipline, The
Never-Ending Now, and One Big Idea. And if you want to read some
long-form essays, I recommend What the Hell is Going On, News in
the Age of Abundance, and Peter Thiel’s Religion. Or, if you want a
short introduction to my thinking, you’ll like 50 Ideas that
Changed My Life.If you want to see all his writing on a single

In Write of Passage, you will develop a systematic process for
cultivating ideas, distilling them into writing, and sharing them
with the people who can make the biggest difference in your
career.By the time you finish the course, you will have published a
series of insightful articles, built a professional website,
launched an email newsletter, learned how to use these assets to
connect with anyone on the planet, and developed a framework for
uniquely framing your expertise and skills.You’ll transform from a
passive consumer to an active creator, and escape the “Mediocre
Majority” of people who endlessly consume without ever producing.
