Impactful Content

A collection of the books, podcasts, short stories, and blog posts that had the most impact on my life.

Background: I was inspired by Brandon Quittem and David Perell to create this page. I wanted to identify and share the pieces of media that had the most impact on my worldview and quality of life. The media is divided into these categories: short stories, blog posts, books, and podcasts from my favorite thinkers.

About these recommendations (last updated April 2022): There really are no themes. These pieces of media weren't just enjoyable to me, they were transformative. They transformed the way I think, shifted the mental models in my head, and led me down a path I'm grateful to be on.

If you're picking up what I'm putting down, or are on the same frequency, please don't hesitate to share a piece of content that's impacted you, with me on Twitter or LinkedIn.
