Morgan Housel: How He Sold 4 Million Books

How I Write ·

2023/11/06

How I Write ·

2023/11/01

Mark Manson’s success as a writer stems from one central idea: “What feels like play?” After his dating blog took off in 2012, Mark started writing about all the things that excited him: psychology, personal development, and “self-help for people who hate self-help.” His breakout book, “The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck,” was the #1 most read nonfiction book worldwide in 2017 (and I swear I saw it on the front table of every airport I went to).

Riva Tez: Becoming A Free Thinker

How I Write ·

2023/10/18

Riva Tez is one of the freest writers I know. It’s as if the boundaries of conventional thinking don’t apply to her. She’s allergic to dogma and passionate about questioning the taboos of our time, and her obsessive research gene has given her a knack for stumbling upon forgotten and under-explored ideas. She’s a singular human being. Part of her brilliance is the way she combines her love for Rilke’s poetry with an interest in philosophy, theology, and consciousness. In all three areas, she goes

How do you create intimacy and connection with readers? While some writers have a way of letting you inside their mind, Ava (@noampomsky) has a way of letting you inside her heart.
