For my tenth book, about wisdom, I’ve been experimenting with Substack, posting draft ideas each week. In a recent video update I explained I’m now starting phase two: revising these shorter, informal pieces into a complete first draft.

What does this mean to you? I don’t know!

My ambition for this project is to capture the best ideas about living well I’ve encountered in life and do it in as concise a way as possible. AND also avoiding the common annoyances these kinds of books have.

If this interests you, it’s a good time to join the Substack for this book. Why? You’ll be first to see parts of the project as they develop and as phase two completes I’ll likely send the entire draft to the list for your feedback.  

If you want to learn more, here are the first ten draft rules I’ve posted: 

1. What is a good rule?
2. Don’t Die
3. Be self-aware (but how?)
4. Be here now (but how?)
5. Be amazed by everything
6. Do it anyway
7. Embrace your luck
8. You are not your thoughts
9. Don’t polish your dreams
10. Harness your demons

That’s all for now. Cheers.
