Hello Optimizing Medics,
I am in the middle of yet another course (well, a few courses actually), so I haven't been able to write much lately.
But today I had to break radio-silence to share a really great opportunity with you.
Optimize.me by Brian Johnson has opened recently made their membership free for life. (Regularly $100 USD/year)
I think this is kind of a big deal, and I'll tell you why right away.
First, a quick disclosure, I am a small-time investor in Optimize. I am an investor with them not because I think it will make me a lot of money, but because their service has changed my life so much that when the opportunity came around to help them expand their business I put in what I could with the hope that it would help them help more people. If you want to know what the "hidden motive" might be behind offering this membership for free, they aren't hiding it! Read all about it here.
Second, none of these links are "affiliate" links. I don't get any kickbacks from these if you click through.
One of the best features of the Optimize membership is the book summaries (called "Philosopher Notes" or PNs).
There are over 500 PNs on the Optimize site. Each is a 6 page summary of the big ideas of books.
If listening is more your thing, Brian has also recorded a 20 minute audio version of each as well.
Here are some of my favourites:
- Tiny Habits
- It Takes What it Takes
- How to Think Like a Roman Emperor
- Everything is Figureoutable
- Why We Sleep
- Digital Minimalism
- 12 Rules for Life
- 21 Lessons for the 21st Century
- Lead Yourself First
- Principles: Life
Now, to get the big ideas out of those 10 books, you could either read them all yourself (that's about 3000ish pages of reading), OR you could get a free Optimize membership and let Brian distill the wisdom down for you into 60 pages / 3 hours of audio.
There are a few other features to the Optimize membership, including 101s and Optimize +1s. I'll let you discover those on your own.
I hope diving into the treasure-trove of Optimize wisdom will benefit you all to the same degree it has helped me over the last three years.
My best regards to you all!
Now go sign up for Optimize!
