Hey there,
I have an announcement. 📣
I'm working on a collection of book summaries and notes of the fantastic non-fiction books I've read and recommended over the years.
These summaries and notes help me learn more from each book, and it's time I make it available to you.
Here's an example of notes that I'll be enriching with more connected resources and sharing with you:
Although the product is not quite ready yet, I'll be opening it up for pre-orders at a heavily discounted price next week.
A one-time payment of a few dollars will give you lifetime access to my ever-growing collection of book summaries and notes.
Pay once, reap the benefits forever.
I'm starting with 15–20 book summaries, so if you have a book suggestion, respond to this email, and I'll see if I can include it in the first batch.
Excited to reveal more about this in next week's newsletter. 🤞
Now, grab a coffee, sit tight, and enjoy this week's issue:
