Hey there,
Pre-orders of my book summaries and notes have finally opened. 🍾
Here's a peek at how the summary pages look:
You can place your pre-order at the lowest-ever price over here: Actionable Book Summaries & Notes by Hulry.
I'm keeping the pricing staggered to give you an opportunity to lock this product with a good deal.
Here's how the pricing works:
- $5: First 5 pre-orders
- $10: Next 20 pre-orders
- $20: Next 40 pre-orders
- $30: Next 50 pre-orders
- $40: Next pre-orders
And then, the price increases further after launching on 30th April 2022.
I'm launching the first version of my collection with 15–20 summaries and notes to begin, but I'll keep adding summaries every week after that.
So:
The beauty of this deal is that you get to lock in lifetime access to my evergrowing list of summaries at a low price if you pre-order now. 🤑
Act fast, and get access to my second brain: Actionable Book Summaries & Notes by Hulry.
Now, grab a coffee, sit tight, and enjoy this week's issue:

Interesting Reads
I had a perspective shift reading this article. I try to reply to my emails as soon as possible, and if I'm late, I usually start with an apology. But, as the article highlights, most people care more about the answer than the timing. Keeping up with
email is challenging. So it's okay to not always reply on time. People understand that you have a life too.
Loved this article by my friend Ivaylo. We come across problems or challenges in our life daily, and having frameworks to deal with various problem categories help us make rational decisions quickly. Read this blog post to figure out which mental models
you can apply to your life.
Although I haven't walked for kilometres, getting lost in thoughts, I know the feeling. Some of my best ideas and solutions arrived when I walked around my apartment or on the terrace. So, even if you don't want to walk 10+ km, a habit of walking might
be what you need to get you out of a productivity and creativity rut.
Trying to be constantly useful to others is exhausting. And it might not be the way you want to live your life. I know I don't. This blog post is a refreshing read on an old Chinese story that'll change the way you look at the meaning of uselessness.
A great example of how you can invest a portion of your current income and multiply that 10–20 times using knowledge and ideas. Although this blog post highlights the concept with an example in real estate investing and house hacking, you can apply this
thought process to almost anything you're good at.
