“Have coffee with Gandhi” – This is a statement that I’ve heard so often from Robin Sharma. He reinforced the idea on vicarious learning through reading autobiographies and following the works of great authors and wise folks.
I’ve been influenced by several authors, investors and wise folks. This is a gratitude post and while I current have a few names listed here, I may add the names of more mentors in the future. I cant stress enough on the benefit of vicarious learning. This is like getting an ivy league education for the cost of an internet connection.
Here are a few of my college professors in the University of Life. You can have conversations with them through their books, blogs, podcasts and interviews. Go forth and seek your masters.
Personal development
Investors
Curators par Excellence
May be a tad unfair to call them curators as they are all know authors in their own right. But what I have loved most about these mentors, that through their blogs and podcasts, they have introduced me to whole new universe of great books and wise leaders.
And last but not the least – Naval Ravikant who is in a league of his own and I would find it hard to classify him into a category. Check out his famous podcast interviews with Tim Ferriss and Shane Parrish – you will be enthralled.
I’d be happy to hear names of mentors who inspired you. Leave your feedback in the comments.
