The Journey from Blog to Clear Thinking Book
Shane Parrish started a blog anonymously while working for an intelligence agency. His goal was to become the best in the world at decision-making and share his reflections on his anonymous blog. Over time, he gained a large following and realized the impact he could have on others' thinking. This led to the creation of the Knowledge Project podcast in 2015, where he interviews a variety of guests and shares their insights with the world. The podcast grew in popularity, and Shane's anonymity was eventually revealed by The New York Times in 2017. Despite not seeking the attention, this exposure further enhanced his platform. Shane's commitment to sharing knowledge and helping others led to the publication of his book, Clear Thinking, which focuses on improving thinking and decision-making skills.
