Bhagavad Gita — Complete Summary Cards

Krishna's counsel to Arjuna on the field of Kurukshetra, in 31 cards: the deathless Self no weapon touches; karma yoga — act with all your skill yet renounce the fruit; the mind steadied like a lamp in a windless place; the three gunas and the path beyond them; and the final refuge of devotion and surrender.

Economic Thinking

Twenty-six original lenses for seeing the world the way economists do — why scarcity forces trade-offs, how prices carry knowledge no planner could gather, what trade and specialization quietly create, where markets genuinely fail, and how money, time, and growth shape everything from your career to the headlines. Non-partisan, mechanism-first, and built for everyday decisions.

Game Theory for Everyday Decisions

Game theory without the math: twenty everyday situations — salary talks, group projects, shared fridges, pricing wars — decoded as games. Learn to spot the trap you're standing in, read where the other side will rationally land, and change the payoffs so cooperation stops being naive and starts being smart.

Habit Design

Twenty-six original cards on the machinery of habit — how the cue-routine-reward loop runs on autopilot, why willpower is the wrong tool for repeated behavior, and how to engineer change deliberately: start laughably small, anchor to routines you already have, tilt the friction, design the room, recover without collapsing, and let repetitions compound into someone new.

Hard Conversations

Twenty-six original cards on the conversations people avoid — feedback, disagreement, bad news, requests, and endings. How to prepare (name the real issue, choose your two wins), open without triggering defenses, navigate the middle (steelman, specifics, clean requests), say the hard thing plainly, and repair what goes wrong. Structure and craft for the talk itself, start to close.

Man's Search for Meaning — Complete Summary Cards

Viktor Frankl's 1946 masterwork in 20 cards, in two movements: what the concentration camps revealed about the human spirit, and the logotherapy he built from it — that our deepest drive is not pleasure or power, but meaning.

Meditations — Complete Summary Cards

Marcus Aurelius's private Stoic journal — the notes a Roman emperor wrote to steady himself — in 27 cards: govern what is yours, master your judgments, turn obstacles into fuel, keep death and the river of time in view, rise to your duty among difficult people, and practice virtue instead of debating it. Quotations follow George Long's classic public-domain translation.

Mental Models for Clearer Thinking

Twenty-four durable thinking tools — inversion, second-order thinking, compounding, margin of safety, and more — each distilled to one card: the idea on the front, how to actually use it on the back. These are the reusable frames sharp decision-makers reach for when the stakes are real and the answer isn't obvious.

Negotiation Principles

Twenty original principles for negotiating well — the power you build before you sit down (BATNA, preparation, the walk-away), the moves at the table (anchors, calibrated questions, silence, concessions), the psychology on both sides of it, and deals designed to expand the pie and survive the handshake. Ethical, practical, and built for repeated games.

On the Origin of Species — Complete Summary Cards

The Psychology of Persuasion

An original synthesis of the science of influence — why people say yes, in 22 cards. From reciprocity and social proof to framing, loss aversion, and choice architecture: each card explains one lever of persuasion, why the mind responds to it, where you'll meet it — and how to pull it honestly, or notice it being pulled on you.

Rules of the Road

Universal safe-driving concepts, not a state test cram sheet: how to read signs by shape and color, who really has right-of-way, matching speed to conditions, lane discipline, bad-weather and night hazards, impairment and distraction, and what to do at a stop, breakdown, or crash. Exact limits and laws vary by state and country — always confirm the specifics in your local driver's handbook.

The Science of Learning

How humans actually learn and remember — and why the strategies that feel best often work worst. Twenty-five original cards on retrieval, spacing, interleaving, and desirable difficulties; the illusions that fool studious minds; explanation, examples, and transfer; and the habits, sleep, and self-belief that turn effort into durable knowledge. Grounded in mainstream cognitive science.

The Scientific Method

How science actually produces reliable knowledge — the method and its safeguards. From the testable question and the fair experiment to p-values read honestly, replication, and peer review; plus the philosophy underneath: falsifiability, parsimony, paradigm shifts, and why real science stays forever revisable.

Storytelling Principles

Twenty-six original principles of storytelling craft — why minds run on narrative, the ingredients no story survives without (stakes, character, conflict, the telling detail), the structure that carries attention from opening promise to paid-off ending, the working craft of curiosity, escalation, and cutting, live delivery, and story put to work in pitches, data, and the one you tell yourself.

Systems Thinking

Understand and change complex systems the way systems thinkers do: stocks and flows, feedback loops and delays, why structure drives behavior, the traps systems fall into, and where to intervene — from weak parameters up to the goals and paradigms that carry the most leverage. Thirty-five original cards, credited to the field's founders.

The Prince — Complete Summary Cards

Machiavelli's unflinching 1513 manual of power in 25 cards — how new power is won and kept, how reputation, fear, and alliances really work, and why fortune concedes half the game to skill. Presented analytically, never as endorsement: his observations of politics as it is, translated into legitimate lessons for modern leadership, negotiation, and survival.
