The Big 3 From the Book
A Book Brought to Life
Robert Greene has had an illustrious career, to say the least. Holding some 60 odd jobs before he even turned 40, he wrote himself off as a lost cause.
Writing was his only consolation, and after decades, fortune finally struck. The 48 Laws of Power is one of self-help's most celebrated classics.
In The Daily Laws, a Daily Stoic–style book, Greene compiles 366 of his laws from his many books in an easy-to-read, short, daily format. You'll learn more about mastery, the games of power that are played everywhere around us, human behavior, and a lot more.

The Tool
I'll share more about this later this month, but Shortform* just released the beta of their AI Chrome extension, Summarize Anything and Everything, and it's mind-blowing.
After you install it and are logged in to your Shortform* account, you can click "Get Summary" on any article, Youtube video, or even podcast episode, and within seconds, it'll give you a short overview in a few bullet points. The tool even provides some extra context and counterarguments. It's fantastic.
The extension is still in beta, but that's also why, as an early adopter, you'll get free lifetime access now, even if Shortform decides to charge for the tool separately later on.
How can you start using it?
- Start a free 5-day trial of Shortform* (and get 20% off through our link if you keep your subscription).
- Install the extension, log in, and click "Get Summary" on any page!
If you want to learn more in less time, take this tool for a spin!

Actually... *closes book without either thinking he'll remember the page, only to frantically flick through them later* 🤷🏼♂️
That'll be all for this week. Enjoy the rest of your Easter holidays if you still have Monday off, and if you don't, egg right back into the game! 🥚
Happy reading,
-Nik
