Our motto is simple: read slowly, take notes, and apply the ideas.
I believe it's better to read one book thoroughly than to skim through a hundred. A single book has the power to change your life for the better—all you have to do is give it the chance.
That's why I host a weekly podcast, blog daily, and create YouTube videos on the art of reading deeply.
My journey led me back to school for a degree in philosophy which heavily influences my reading selections.
Every book curated into the Edgewater collection is chosen for its ability to make you think. From Dostoevsky's exploration of being and ethics to Thoreau's meditations on nature, these works have substance.
Thank you for being a part of our reading community and supporting Edgewater.
And as always, read slowly - take notes - apply the ideas.
