Principles, habits and rules to help you succeed in life and career

I’m Thomas. I started Perennial Learner to help you master the best of what philosophers, psychologists, scientists, top performers and experts have already figured out. 

Life, though wonderful, can be dense and confusing. We believe lifelong learning (the ongoing self-motivated pursuit of wisdom) is the antidote to chaos and the complexities of life.

"No one ever became wise merely by chance," Seneca said. Confucius, the famous Chinese Philosopher, also said, "By three methods we may learn wisdom: First, by reflection, which is noblest; Second, by imitation, which is easiest; and third, by experience, which is the bitterest." 

More than 70,000 people have subscribed to my life and career newsletters. My readers include curious people from Microsoft, Google, Amazon, Salesforce, Apple, BBC, HubSpot and Morning Brew.

As SEEN on Forbes, Business Insider, Entrepreneur, Inc. Magazine, Medium, CNBC, Observer, HuffPost, The Good Men Project, Quartz, Thought Catalog and Pocket Worthy.
