I'm Shane Parish and this is The Knowledge Project, a podcast exploring the ideas, methods, and mental models that help you master the best of what other people have already figured out. As some of you have no doubt noticed recently, we've started exploring more diverse subjects. The Knowledge Project aims to explore pretty much everything from science and history to relationships and decision making, all with the goal of helping you better understand yourself and the world around you so that you can live a more meaningful and conscious life.

We truly want to master the best of what other people have already figured out. And that's not limited to one particular domain. To learn more and stay up to date on new episodes, go to FS. Dot blog. Slash podcast.
