David's motto is: “Write every day.” Most of his essays are about business, education, and what it means to be a citizen of the Internet. These essays are a record of his intellectual quest to make sense of the world. They’re the diary of his contemplative life, and you will enjoy them. Start with the short-form essays and work your way up to the long-form ones. https://perell.com/

David's most popular short articles include The Price of Discipline, The Never-Ending Now, and One Big Idea. And if you want to read some long-form essays, I recommend What the Hell is Going On, News in the Age of Abundance, and Peter Thiel’s Religion. Or, if you want a short introduction to my thinking, you’ll like 50 Ideas that Changed My Life.If you want to see all his writing on a single page, you’ll find all my essays here At https://perell.com/about/

In Write of Passage, you will develop a systematic process for cultivating ideas, distilling them into writing, and sharing them with the people who can make the biggest difference in your career.By the time you finish the course, you will have published a series of insightful articles, built a professional website, launched an email newsletter, learned how to use these assets to connect with anyone on the planet, and developed a framework for uniquely framing your expertise and skills.You’ll transform from a passive consumer to an active creator, and escape the “Mediocre Majority” of people who endlessly consume without ever producing.
