Goal 🎯 Read More Books

This year, I set a goal to read more books. I’m proud to report I’ve now built a daily reading habit, and have already checked off 13 books from my list - just 4 months into the year!

It sounds like a lot, right? I know, I’m impressed too.

Some Oldies, but Goodies 📚

In addition to a number of new and first time reads, I decided to re-read “Thinking, Fast and Slow” and “How to Win Friends and Influence People”. To my surprise, I realized hardly any of the core concepts stayed with me over the years! What’s worse is I could recall several instances where those very lessons could have dramatically improved both my reactions and the way I navigated those situations.

This got me thinking..

Reflection point 🧐

Many of us invest a lot of time and effort into reading books, hoping they will improve our lives in some form or another. But without practical application of the insights we’ve spent time learning about, it’s difficult to internalize the principles effectively.

The goal is not to memorize, but learn. The true challenge lies not just in absorbing the information, but in seamlessly recalling concepts and naturally applying those learnings when the moment calls for it.

Knowledge ➡️ Action

Motivated to bridge the gap between knowledge and action, and to transform insights into habits, I turned to ChatGPT and Claude. The ability of these tools to simulate interesting scenarios for me to respond to, and provide thoughtful feedback on my approaches, has been instrumental in reinforcing the lessons learned from my readings.

This sparked an idea: Why not give this digital co-pilot a more defined purpose?

Enter : Principle Practitioner! 🤖

And so, Principle Practitioner was born!

Principle Practitioner : Like many of us, Principle Practitioner is a continuous work-in-progress. But still pretty cool! 🙌🏽

Principle Practitioner is a customGPT designed to engage readers in interactive scenarios based on the core principles of books they are reading. It provides various scenarios and exercises for users to respond to, offers thoughtful feedback on users’ responses and suggests alternative viewpoints to evolve the conversation. Overall, the goal is to encourage a more comprehensive understanding of applying those learned principles in various situations.
