Why Self-Education Is Beating University in 2026
The most successful people I know never stopped learning.
While formal education has its place, self-education allows you to continually adapt, grow, and become more valuable to the marketplace. As the Stoic philosopher Epictetus taught, education creates freedom - the freedom to think for yourself rather than living according to someone else's expectations, beliefs, or limitations.
In this video, I share a simple 3-step framework to build a lifelong learning habit:
- Schedule a dedicated time to read
- Read just 5 pages a day from a book you genuinely enjoy
- Keep a journal to reflect on what you've learned and improve retention, understanding, and application
Small daily actions compound into extraordinary results.
If you want greater intelligence, awareness, confidence, and freedom, start by educating yourself.
