It’s been a minute since the last WiseBite—but better late than never. This week marks a fresh start: I’m reformatting the Wise Bite Memo to center each edition around a single theme - better thinking.

You’ll still get the bite-sized gems you’ve come to expect—book excerpts, quotes, and thought-provoking finds from across the web—but now I’ll also be sharing more original content, including audio and video.

The goal? To spark your thinking and help you move toward better outcomes in life.

Cogito, ergo sum
Latin for “I think, therefore I am.” Not a Billie Eilish lyric, but the famous declaration from 17th-century philosopher René Descartes in his Discourse on the Method (1637). This idea shaped centuries of thought—and it sparks a question for us today:

If who you are is shaped by your thoughts, how do you improve yourself? Can you become a better person by improving the quality of your thoughts? And beyond that—what about the quality of your thinking itself?

These questions have fueled my own journey: working to sharpen, challenge, and elevate the way I think. Along the way, I’ll be sharing what I’m learning—and I hope it inspires you to strengthen your own thinking too.

I look forward to sharing more content starting next week.
