Some books cannot be read alone.

A few times a year, I lead a private seminar of about fifteen people through a single great text, slowly, line by line, the way it deserves to be read. The most recent cohort spent ten weeks in Plato's Republic, from October to December 2025, with live sessions, written work, and private one-on-one meetings each week.

The people who join are accomplished, and the conversation reflects it. Past cohorts have included founders, investors, lawyers, PhD students, and data scientists: serious readers doing demanding work together. Several participants have called the experience life-changing, and lasting friendships have come out of it.

Enrollment is limited and opens to this list first. If a seat in the next seminar sounds like something you'd want, leave your email below.

Most serious readers know the feeling: you read carefully, you have real reactions, and yet your thinking doesn't advance. You can follow the argument, but you cannot yet make it your own.

The seminar is built to close that gap. The weekly sessions put your ideas to the test in live conversation with people worth arguing with. The written reflections you produce each week come back with my personal feedback, so your thinking develops on paper, not just in your head. And the one-on-one sessions go further into the questions that matter most to you.

People come for different reasons. Some read seriously but alone, and want the company of others who take ideas as seriously as they do. Some, often the most professionally accomplished, feel the intellectual side of their life has gone unfed for years. And some have reached a point where the larger questions are no longer optional. The seminar is for all three.
