Knowing These 40 People Will Make You Better At Life
How To Be More Productive, Creative, and Happy One Person At A Time
Every day for the past couple months I’ve profiled a different inspiring person on my website/newsletter A Person You Should Know.
The people I feature have three things in common — they’re smart, creative, and they put ideas into the world that help others lead more productive and satisfying lives.
Learning about them — and from them — has made a huge impact on my life and that motivates me to share them with as many people as possible.
