Hi! I’m Nick.
I’m the author of “Learn, Improve, Master: How to Develop Any Skill and Excel at It.”
This site is my thinking lab for ideas I'm dancing or wrestling with as I work on my next book on ‘What is a life well lived?’
What are the posts about?
As part of researching my book, I’ve been delving into philosophy, psychology, psychotherapy, and inspiring life and death stories. Some of the themes I’ll write about include adversity, growth, meaning, change, and taking ownership of our lives.
Through the Abyss are my short explorations of those themes and any ideas or thoughts that are consuming my mind at the moment. I also enjoy writing about popular life advice that needs to be reevaluated or discarded. Here’s a sample:
A famous author said, “We read to know we are not alone.”
I write so my kindred souls know they are not alone.
Why subscribe?
Don’t—unless you want to read about the storms raging inside a mind struggling with questions of ‘how to live.’
All my posts are free, and any paid subscription helps keep it that way. Consider a paid subscription only if you want to support this site and comment on posts. There is no other difference between paid and free subscribers.
What to expect?
You’ll get every new post sent directly to your email.
Most of my time is spent working on the new book, so I don’t have a fixed schedule for posting. It could be a couple of weeks between long-form posts, but I’ll do my best to make it worthwhile.
