If you just came in from reading my article on learning at ZenHabits, welcome to the website!
First, check out my free ebook on holistic learning. It is a deeper look at the ideas I explored in the article.
I’m a university student and this blog is my journey to answer the question: what is the ideal way to live? I don’t have all the answers, but with nearly 800 articles on productivity, life philosophy, learning and success, there is a place to start.
If you’re new here, these are some articles worth starting on:
- Double Your Reading Rate
- The Art of the Finish: How to Go From Busy to Accomplished
- Living on the Edge of Incompetence
- If You Want to Be Fit, Don’t Buy New Running Shoes
- What Do You Want to Do With Your Life?
You can also check out my free ebook, How to Get More From Life, which is an overview of all the ideas on the website.
Don’t forget to sign up for the program list for when my rapid learning program reopens. Last time we sold out in just over half an hour, so if you aren’t on the list, you probably won’t get a spot.
You can subscribe to this blog to get the newest articles (usually twice per week) as soon as they go online.

I'm a recent university graduate, writer, programmer, traveler and avid reader of interesting things. For the last six years I've been experimenting to find out how to get more from life.
Hi Scott
I’m extremely pleased with myself for finding your site. Yes, it was through Zen Habits. I really appreciated your post on learning as I’m a big proponent of lifelong learning and personal development.
I guess I have my work cut out for me as I sift through your 800+ posts! But more than that your site has a huge resource of great reading material which I’m sure I’ll learn a lot from.
Keep up the good work!
I just read your article on Zen Habits, and really enjoyed it! I am glad that one of my favorite blogs has opened me up to your website. My children are very young but I am excited to keep your insight in mind on my journey to helping them learn in the best way possible for them. Thanks for the inspiration.
Do you make these abstract connections the first time around?
Do you take notes this way or at any at all?
Thank you.
Interesting read. It’s made me realize how we’ve been doing this all along without being aware of it, following subjects that are more interesting and relevant- making connections. Would love to apply a more “holistic” approach to my learning topics I have struggled with in the past.
