Who are we?
If you’re like most of our readers, you’re looking for an edge — a reliable way to learn and pick up new skills more quickly, to see opportunities and obstacles that others don’t, and avoid costly blunders that set you back in years or dollars.
In a world obsessed with moving fast and adopting the next shiny new thing, we take a different approach. We comb through the noise to find the timeless and enduring truths that compound over time.
The ideas you’ll discover through Farnam Street (or FS) can be applied to many areas of your life; work, leadership, relationships, parenting, and more. No matter where you are starting from, we’ll give you the tools to make better decisions, avoid regrets, and close the gap between where you are and what’s possible.
