ReadWith
One of Pascal Laliberté’s notes reading
The Practice by Seth Godin
What’s the opposite of this what this book proposes?
Laziness? I don’t think so.
Frailty? Fault? Fickleness? Maybe.
I think it’s cynicism. Deception camouflaged as realism.
This book is high on realism: there are no guarantees, cashing outcomes will leave you dry. But it says no to disparaging thoughts, to locking into beliefs, to the staleness of normal.
Hi, I'm Pascal, and I'm reading
The Practice by Seth Godin
Want to read it with me?
This app I'm building lets you see all my notes from the book. For a small fee (announcing soon), you'll be able to experience reading the book as if we're reading it together.
Here's how ReadWith works:
As you save your own notes about the book, my notes (up to the place you’re at in the book) will be revealed to you.

“They believed that harmonics held the key to understanding how things functioned.”
This reminds me of how often my beliefs are wrong at the outset of a project.
Just this morning, I realized I had believed one part of my design would be super important, and in fact wasn’t at all central.
This note at the top, that's the one you just added (let's say).
This one below, that's my note, made accessible because you're now at the same spot in the book (by percentage read).

"But is it going to help me change my thinking?"
Reading a book takes time. Which book should you read? You've probably marked so many other books to read later.
Maybe The Practice by Seth Godin seems attractive for you. You're thinking of getting a copy...
But is it going to transform your thinking like you're hoping it will?
What if there was different way to read a book...
Imagine if there was a way for you to read a book alongside someone who'll challenge your thinking, who will see angles you hadn't thought of.
Imagine if there was a way for you to re-discover your past thoughts from a previous reading of the book as if your friend was the previous version of you.
Imagine a way to read a book with a friend without having to sync up your reading cadence or wait until you're both done to discuss it.
Imagine if there was a way to make a bit of money from your insights from reading a book.
I'm selling access to my reading notes of The Practice, but imagine if you could sell your own notes to people in your audience.
I'm building something to help with all this.
I'm calling it Readwith.
I hope you'll consider spreading the word.
Hop on the list early to be the first to reserve your username. I'll let you in on the development, and you'll know when my reading notes of The Practice are ready for purchase.
