For the majority of my adult life I’ve been writing books and using the royalties to fund a life of travel. It’s been a fun, but now I want something different.

In no particular order, I want to:

1) Build the 'Goldilocks Pyramids Homestead.' (read more about this here.)

2) Read and write.

3) Invest in sustainability projects.

4) Raise a family.

I like to learn, and my favorite way to learn is by reading.

But I also understand that one of the best ways to learn is to teach.

However, I've been a teacher before, and being somewhat of an introvert, I'm not a massive fan of it.

Writing summaries forces me to go over what I read and present it in my own words in a way that the reader will understand. I think it's as close to teaching as I can get without actually having to teach something in person.

Additionally, my background is in writing non-fiction books. Generally, that means researching, taking notes, and then putting my own spin on what I've learned.

Book summaries are kind of a spin-off of that process, which I enjoy doing.

There is no set plan for which books I decide to read or in which order.

It's more dependant on what I want to learn about at the time. I like to bounce around subjects though so they generally come as a mix.

The main categories covered are:

Health: Nutrition, exercise, longevity, stress management, sleep, cognition, etc.

Wealth: Personal finance, business, marketing, investing, etc.

Relationships: Dating, understanding the opposite sex, raising kids, etc.

Thinking: Mental models, personal development, and anything I couldn't fit into the first three categories.

Travel: These aren't summaries. My travel posts are photos with short captions, mainly a record for myself.

If you would like to suggest a book for me to summarize, you can do that here.

SF Initiatives is a company I created to "house" my entrepreneural initiatives.

It is my hope that I can make SF Initiatives profitable enough for me to build the Goldilocks Pyramids Homestead, cover my basic living expenses, and have enough leftover to invest in sustainability projects.

This blog is an SF Initiative.

Other SF Initiatives include:

SF Nonfiction Books: Independent publishing of my own books and those of Aventuras De Viaje.

Survival Fitness Plan: SF Self-defense + Essential Parkour + General Fitness = You're Awesome!

Stack Healthy Habits: Getting healthy is easier when you stack small, healthy habits.

SFAutopublicacion: Helping spanish speaking authors self-publish thier books.
