📚 Book Summaries:

Here are 3 recent books I read.

Read these short summaries, then vote on which one you’d like me to summarize in-depth below!

📖

1) “The Book of Elon” by Eric Jorgenson

Love him or hate him, you have to admit that Elon Musk is one of the greatest entrepreneurs of our time.

He’s created 5+ billion-dollar companies, and two of those companies (Tesla and SpaceX) are now worth over $1 trillion each. If you want to start a business, become a more productive leader, or learn from one of the most successful people in the world, this book is for you.

📖

2) “Everyday Genius” by Nelson Dellis

In this book, 6x memory champion Nelson Dellis argues that better memory isn’t a talent, it’s a skill that’s taught.

In it, Dellis shares his strategies on how to memorize names, do mental calculation quickly, memorize a deck of cards, solve a Rubik’s cube, and many more memory tricks.

📖

3) “Make It Stick” by Peter C. Brown

This book is similar to the one above, except it’s based on a lot more science.

It was written after a 10-year collaboration among some of the world’s leading experts on human learning and memory. In it, the authors cover which common study and memory tactics don’t work, and powerful strategies that will actually boost your memory and learning.

💎 Weekly Gem:

Product: Wild Alaskan + ButcherBox

If you’re going to eat fish or meat, you want to make sure what you’re eating is high-quality.

Not only does it taste better, but it’s better for you.

Here are 2 companies I’m a huge fan of:

• Wild Alaskan delivers 100% wild-caught seafood that’s sustainably sourced and has no antibiotics, GMOs, or additives.

• ButcherBox delivers 100% grass-fed beef, free-range organic chicken, and humanely raised pork.

Their products are frozen at peak freshness and then shipped directly to your door with dry ice so that they stay frozen when you open your box.

Skip the grocery store and save both time and money by ordering from them.

• If you love seafood, get $50 OFF your first Wild Alaskan order here.

• If you love meat, get a free trial box of ButcherBox here.

Your opinion matters!
