Hi, I’m Jared.

I write books and make movies and remember random things because I have DNA-confirmed elevated episodic memory. I kissed my future wife in the summer of the seventh grade. She’s from Ethiopia+Finland, I’m from Canada, and we currently live in Wales. I’m a 9-hours-a-night, un-minimalist, anti-political, ambiverted, ENTJ Enneagram 8. We don’t own cell phones or have Netflix or use Facebook Newsfeed/Instagram/etc, because we’re big fans of analog activities, fat time margins, and meaningful relationships. These are a few of my favorite things.

I try to spend my days synthesizing perennial knowledge into everyday wisdom – discovering the practical long-term principles that can cultivate human flourishing.

I’m grateful to share my work with a wide range of interesting individuals. Enter your email below to get my top 50 book recommendations + all new content the moment it’s published.
