Five Books: Amelia Earhart’s Autobiography, Reading in the Human Brain, a Prophet of Freedom, and More!
People keep sending books to my house and I can’t stop it!!
This is a strange list of books, because they don’t really have a whole lot to do with one another, but they’re each fantastic in their own way.
Frederick Douglass has been a massive influence on me for a long time, and I especially love his quote, “Once you learn to read, you will be forever free.”
Means a lot more once you learn that he was an escaped slave who taught himself how to read, and went on to become one of the most influential civil rights leaders ever. The biography won the Pulitzer Prize, and it’s not hard to see why.
But the other books are great too, and here in this article you’ll get all my best notes and takeaways, full summaries, etc. from all of them.
In terms of announcements, I’ll just say that my latest “book mail” video is up now on YouTube, I’ve got a podcast episode coming out soon with the author of Retirement Money Secrets, and also one with Eric Jorgenson, the author of The Anthology of Balaji, one of the best books I read in 2023.
And if you haven’t seen my ultra in-depth, comprehensive breakdown of No B.S. Guide to Succeeding in Business by Breaking All…
