The Syndicate 

Introduction:

In 2023, the pursuit of success often paraded itself in edits on TikTok or motivational quotes backed up by powerful music. The ‘true’ meaning of success defined as a state of wealth, power and happiness. For some it includes all three, and for others it may not include any of these. Nonetheless achieving success isn't an overnight thing. It's a marathon, made up of a bunch of moving parts you can tackle one by one or all at once. Honestly, I'm still figuring it out myself. My approach is to constantly improve, to focus on myself instead of others until I am satisfied with who I am and not on who I will become. I find that reading is a really effective way for improving. To gain knowledge from the perspective of different successful people and learn skills to change my life. This is also the approach that the Great philosopher Socrates took to gain knowledge. In fact, he used to walk the streets of Athens and question people from different walks of life to find truth. I find books a good alternative to questioning random people and having some quite awkward conversations with them. 

So What Does The Syndicate Do For You:

You might be a bit lost at this point, from TikTok to Greek philosophers to success. What does this newsletter do for you? The Syndicate is a newsletter dedicated to changing your life one book at a time. Fortnightly, on Wednesday, I will post a summary of a book I am reading and what it has taught me. I am looking forward to you being part of this journey as I seek to be better. Just to emphasise, this is not a book club, and I am not doing book reviews. I am just reading books and learning lessons! I am sharing key points from books so that you can get the benefits without reading the book for 10-15 hours. I would really appreciate if you subscribed to this newsletter and comment below.
