BookThinkers Newsletter #14

This Week at BookThinkers

FOCUS! The big thing isn't in an email — it's in Boston on Saturday.

⭐ Nick on Primal Shots with Dr. Kavin Mistry — Mind of Mistry Podcast

Nick sat down with Dr. Kavin Mistry for a wide-ranging conversation that started with wellness shots and ended somewhere near mortality, legacy, and why physical books might be the most important technology we have.

A few moments worth finding in this one:

The penny story - Nick was filming content at Steven Pressfield's house, spent the day building something he loved, and walked back to his hotel that night telling his teammate Luke he needed a sign from the universe.

He quit his job on Monday. Listen to find out why.

The memento mori tattoo on his neck — Latin for "remember you're going to die." Not as a dark reminder, but as a daily reframe. When you realize you have a finite life, you stop wasting it on things that don't matter.

And his closing message: Gen Z is the first generation in recorded history with lower average IQ and lower reading comprehension than the generation before it. Short-form content is shortening attention spans. Consumption is replacing creation. And there is a book out there to solve every single problem any of us face.

That's why BookThinkers exists. That's why this community exists.

BookThinkers LIVE 2026 — This Weekend

450+ authors, podcasters, and entrepreneurs. Boston. July 11-12.

Jim Kwik. Evan Carmichael. John David Mann. Jill Schulman. Markus Kaulius. Rory Vaden.

Two days of real conversations about books, ideas, and what it actually takes to build something that matters. The room is almost full - a handful of tickets remain.

If you've been waiting for a sign - this is it.

Parting Thoughts

I said something in my recent interview that's hard to shake:

"I want people to say Nick was a creator. He created value. He impacted people in a positive way."

That's the whole thing. Not what you consumed — what you created. Not what you read — what you did with it.

I'll be seeing over 450 people who believe that in Boston this weekend.

Hope you're one of them.
