This year I feel like I learned many things.
I came across many great people who helped me in many different ways.
I want to share that with you.
Take this with you for the new year ahead.
Here’s a list of the best newsletters, podcasts, and books that you can start learning from right now:
I. Three Newsletters
1) System Sunday by Ben Meer
If we think of value per word , this is definitively the real deal.
Ben Meer, shoots a new system that you can use for work and life.
They are very short, but don’t get me wrong…
They are full of practical and insightful systems thinking advice that you can start using right at this moment.
2) Daily Stoic by Ryan Holiday
If you are into Stoicism and philosophy, or if you want to get into it.
This is absolutely a must-subscribe .
It’s written by Ryan Holiday, the bestselling author of books like: Trust Me, I’m Lying; The Obstacle Is the Way; Ego Is the Enemy, etc.
It’s a short daily email, often including a stoic lesson inspired by the great Stoics Marcus Aurelius, Seneca, and Epictetus, which you can take with you for the day.
It’s a really nice reminder to embody Stoicism philosophy and wisdom in the day-to-day, so we can live a more intentional life.
3) 3-2-1 Thursday by James Clear
James Clear is a writer and speaker.
He is the author of the #1 New York Times bestseller Atomic Habits.
Each 3-2-1 newsletter includes: 3 short ideas, 2 quotes from others, and 1 question for you to ponder.
It’s short. And filled with value. I love it.

There is a reason it is the #1 Podcast in Apple Podcasts in 2023.

III. One Book
Can’t Hurt Me by David Goggins (Amazon)
This book changed me completely this year.
And I picked it while training for a first-time half-marathon so I felt like every single word was written for me.
It’s simply amazing. If you feel like you are not destined for any success in life because you are (insert-here) or you experienced (insert-here), then this might shake your limiting beliefs to the ground.
David, besides all the child abuse and trauma that he went through, had all of the reasons to think that his failure was .
Nonetheless, he refused to accept that truth.
Refusing to be complacent, he challenged himself every single day, finding growth in the things that felt hard and uncomfortable.
Taking back control of his mind. And of his own destiny .
David Goggins is now a retired Navy SEAL and the only member of the United States Armed Forces to have completed training in the top three elite troops.
He has competed in more than 60 ultramarathons, triathlons, and ultra-triathlons, breaking race records and regularly finishing in the top five.
He explains the tools and shifts you need to make to have the same mental mastery to excel at anything in your life and break free from your limiting beliefs .
It’s time to stop choosing the path of the least effort.
