-rwx- Introduction

Over the last few years, I have been looking for ways to constantly push myself to be a better person. There a lot of experiments that go into this, from drinking 64 oz of water every day to drinking crushed mushroom water. Yet ultimately the things I have found to be the most impactful are:

• Reading

• Writing

• Doing

Every time I start a new book, I’m reminded that I am basically getting a cheat code for life. I get to learn difficult lessons from people who have learned them over their years. I get to travel to other countries, to other times, and even to other universes. I get to have an experience with someone billions of dollars above my social class or with tenfold more IQ points.

So, I’ve decided to chronicle three of my favorite books, exercises, or challenges each month that may help someone else as well.

Each month will have a theme and focus on reading (-r---), writing (--w--), executing (---x-), or some combination in between (-r-x-). The recommendations I make will have no affiliate links, no tracking, and no sponsorship attached. This is wholeheartedly an attempt to share knowledge and spark a conversation.
