Erik is joined by Tiago Forte (@fortelabs), creator of Building a Second Brain, founder of Forte Labs, and writer at Praxis.
They talk about:
- Why productivity is not an end in and of itself.
- Why content creation (not just consumption) is integral to your career.
- How to better deal with the 11 hours of media a day that the average person consumes.
- Why the “average human life is now too complex to be managed by the average human brain.”
- Why hyperfocus and intense productivity are symptoms of trauma, and how to deal with that trauma.
- The theory of constraints and why it’s so powerful.
- Religion and meaning-making for the secular world.
- The future of libraries and why Tiago calls them “digital nomad embassies.”
