Sloww Premium Membership

“I love Sloww and have been a Premium member for years. Shout out to Kyle Kowalski (Sloww), Maria Popova (The Marginalian, formerly Brain Pickings), James Clear (Atomic Habits), and other synthesizers who do a wonderful service for learning.”

“I’d like to congratulate you on developing one of the few thoughtful and well-presented blogs and websites. I now consider Sloww one of my core thinking sites, along with Tim Ferriss, Shane Parrish (Farnam Street), and Maria Popova (The Marginalian, formerly Brain Pickings).”

“I am a subscriber to Farnam Street and Sloww, and I’ve found these sites useful for staying current with the best recently published books and articles with general wisdom and useful, inspirational, or motivational content from around the web.”

“I’ve really been enjoying exploring your posts and being allowed on this unique journey with you. I knew and loved the work of Maria Popova (The Marginalian, formerly Brain Pickings) before I discovered you and have appreciated your research on her work—like much of your work, I have found it nowhere else. You are impressively prolific at crystallizing thoughts of great depth, clarity, and range … Most of all, I sense your openness and honesty, and I trust in your very discerning mind that is incisive but not judgmental. That quality is rare … Your site has been the most helpful by far.”

“I believe it will be increasingly difficult to seek out minds who are dedicated to reaching this stage of development, and even fewer who are able to convey the ideas in a relatable and useful manner … Sloww always remains relevant, and the evolving content continues to perpetuate my personal growth in all areas. I guess maybe I am realizing Sloww’s evolution has left it in a place that nothing else occupies. You provide a depth of content that is nearly impossible to find elsewhere. There is so much value—perhaps due to the unique nature of Sloww being a space unlike any other in my life, coupled with the fact it is so deeply personal. The refreshing uniqueness is what makes it so special.”

“The amount of information you produce is beyond imagination, and that you do it own your own makes me consider you have found the next gear in transformation. Take care of your amazing life. I know those journeys present some vigorous challenges mentally, physically, and spiritually. You are way out past the safety of the comfort zone and excuses. Keep up the great work sir! Your life truly is a gift to the world.”

“I have spent so much money, time, and tears on so many courses over the past 25 years. Don’t get me wrong, I am sure they all planted seeds, but what you do is like no author I have seen do before. Kyle’s dark night of the soul must have been legendary to dig this deep for this long.”

“I have been on the personal development and spiritual path full-time for the last 10 years or so. I’ve read hundreds of books, followed all kinds of blogs, gone to conferences, retreats, etc. I consider myself a student of life, wholeheartedly committed to answering the question: ‘How do I live the most fulfilling, flourishing life possible?’ Sloww is BY FAR the best comprehensive resource for answering that very question.”

“I’ve been exploring issues of self-development and self-enlightenment for more than 25 years. However, it’s mostly been a solitary journey. I discovered Sloww a few years ago, and it was a revelation. I felt like I had found another kindred spirit who thought as deeply as I did.”

“Thank you so much for everything you put into this site. I truly believe it will be life-changing, and I am happy to be a Premium member less than 24 hours after looking at it.”

“I’ve been reading Sloww for quite awhile now, but just now subscribing to Premium. I didn’t think I had time to take advantage of a Premium subscription, but every time I read Kyle’s newsletter, I wish I had it. Really, I don’t have time to NOT have a Sloww Premium subscription!“

“After 2 years of insanely crazy life balancing work and personal commitments during the pandemic, I finally decided to slow down and become a Premium member—so that I can get more out of Kyle’s deep reflections and focus on enjoying life that is rapidly passing me by.”

“I recently became a Premium member. I’d like to congratulate you on developing one of the few thoughtful and well-presented blogs and websites. I now consider Sloww one of my core thinking sites, along with Tim Ferriss, Shane Parrish (Farnam Street), and Maria Popova (The Marginalian/Brain Pickings). Sloww is the equivalent of being more aware and appreciating the substance of our intellectual capabilities.”

“I absolutely love your site, your honesty, your generosity in sharing and how you live. I find much comfort in knowing I’m not the only one who ponders these things! It’s made me feel more connected to humanity, Mother Nature, the planet, etc by reading things you suggest and just taking time to know my thoughts and ideas matter. You’re awesome, and I’m forever grateful!”

“I’m glad I am a Premium member, it’s a bargain value. Sloww is deeply focused on finding the really differentiated thinkers and perennial spiritual wisdom. If there’s too much nonsense out there, why not focus on truths that might be universally applicable? He has written so much great stuff—a world-class synthesizer and consistently wonderful. A palate cleanser. I’ve become more spiritually inclined in my middle years, and this is a wonderful resource. Founder Kyle Kowalski summarizes ‘big idea’ books really succinctly.”

“I’ve been reading Sloww for quite awhile now, but just now subscribing to Premium. I didn’t think I had time to take advantage of a Premium subscription, but every time I read Kyle’s newsletter, I wish I had it. Really, I don’t have time to NOT have a Sloww Premium subscription!”

“I’ve really enjoyed Sloww these past few years. I was drawn into your experiences. I feel really fortunate. I signed up for your Premium membership almost immediately, and I am very gracious for your work. Onward and upward!”

“I’m immensely grateful for your work (joined Premium over the weekend and am impressed). Almost everything resonates directly with my life, life choices, and core philosophies, and I’m excited to continue learning, adopting, and evolving from your endeavors. Always incredibly valuable, Kyle. Been following you for awhile and admire what you are up to. Keep it up.”

“Grateful Premium member here.  Just wanted to say how powerful your work has become (to me as a reader) over time. It just gets more and more resonant. Congratulations on being true to yourself. Incredible content. Thanks for being an inspiring, enriching part of my life.”

“I’ve been a long-time fan of your work ethic and of your content. I find what you share to the world fascinating, and consider you as one of the best synthesizers out there. Thank you for being who you are Kyle. I have to say that you have made wonderful work. I hope people realize how much wealth you deliver to the world through your own journey. You are a blessing.”

“Sparks fly when ideas are brought together from across disciplines, fields, etc. Sloww does this across the realms of spirituality, psychology, philosophy and more. For new perspective, I highly recommend you check it out. Warning: rabbit holes ahead…”

“Wow, you have provided me with a great gift! Truly, you are doing the world a service, synthesizing what you are learning. In a journey catalyzed by your own dis-integration, you are healing yourself and the world by integrating the wisdom you are uncovering book by book by podcast by webinar. I LOVE that you understand and value yourself as a ‘creative combinator’. Happy and grateful to have found Kyle’s trove of summaries and infographics for books of depth and inquiry by creative, brave thinkers.”

“I deeply admire Kyle’s intellectual flexibility and consistent creative output. More and more, I find myself wanting to be an intellectual chameleon, where I immerse myself in a bunch of disparate domains so that I can synthesize and integrate the bits of truth each of them contain. It honestly blows my mind how much quality stuff Kyle’s able to add to his online world so consistently. He’s an unstoppable synthesizing machine, and the Premium membership is an endless goldmine for your mind.”

“All in all, it’s a joy to know that whatever I’ll choose to read always delivers content which happens to seamlessly blend pertinent knowledge and still acknowledge the human element present within the experience of living. To be one of Sloww’s members has exceeded any expectations and even in the beginning stages has been greatly thrilling and rewarding.”

“I’ve been enjoying your writing and wisdom you’ve synthesized more and more! Thanks for putting out great things into the world. I feel like each time I take a look at something you put out I realize how much wisdom is in it. Your ideas have really helped shape my thinking, and I can only imagine how many other people have been positively impacted by you! I can’t begin to tell you how much I’ve learned from you over the years because of your willingness to share. Thanks and keep the virtuous cycle going!”

“You are incredible. Never been drawn to a blog as much as yours. I am spending hours learning so many cool things. Premium was a very easy decision. Thank you for your teachings.”

“Keep up the outstanding work you do. You give and share so much world-class wisdom for free, plus the Premium membership is a real deal of a lifetime. The fact that you are a team of one makes Sloww even more commendable. Your articles, the infographics, the layout, and the way you present it all is truly world-class by far. Your posts are mind-blowing. Sundays are great as I get your email on that day. Love it big time. Keep up the freaking fantabulous work you share with us.”

“I stumbled upon Sloww almost a year ago and have been dipping in and out of the thoughtful content put up by Kyle. After 2 years of insanely crazy life balancing work and personal commitments during the pandemic, I finally decided to slow down and become a Premium member—so that I can get more out of Kyle’s deep reflections and focus on enjoying life that is rapidly passing me by.”

“As a Premium member I am enjoying your writings. I can honestly say that your work impacted me and my life on so many levels. It made me think and ask myself the right questions. The most powerful one for me is simply ‘why’: why I am working, why I am living, why I need money, and so on.”

“I just have to say that I found your website through Ben Greenfield a week or so ago and left the tab open to read the ikigai article. Yesterday as I was going through my tabs I decided to explore your website more and immediately resonated with your writings and process. Thank you so much for everything you put into this site. I truly believe it will be life-changing, and I am happy to be a Premium member less than 24 hours after looking at it.”

“I am gladdened that you do the work you do to help people deepen their understanding without proselytizing any particular view. Just letting members into your meaning-making processes and explorations. And, offering guidance to important works and clear summaries. I’m always impressed with your facility in handling your enormous website. Marvelous how you distill knowledge and then present it in ways that allows readers to go deep (with all the links) or not and just learn from your summaries.”

“Kyle, I wanted to drop you a line and say how influential your work has been to me in the past couple of years. I found Anthony de Mello, Daniel Schmachtenberger, and The Stoa directly through you—all of which altered my outlook and life dramatically. They’ve been nothing short of ‘earth shattering’ for me. Cheers and I honor your efforts.”

“Your blog is one of the few that show deep thoughts in everything you write. Everything you write is condensed down to the essence, both to leave room for readers to think deeply and also to respect the time of those that don’t. This is the main reason that I wanted to join Premium.”

“Premium content is super insightful! If you enjoy reading Sloww posts, then there is no reason to not get the lifetime Premium content. Think of it as personal and spiritual growth on steroids (if you’re willing to read and ponder). Thank you. Your work is fantastic! I especially love how well you summarize books for a better and simpler life. And great job with the Sloww newsletters. I open it every time.”

“I feel a deep affinity to your mind, your journey, and the content that you produce. I’ve signed up for your Premium content (which I think is a complete steal). In a busy and distracting world, it’s inspirational to find people that choose to ignore the noise and focus on the simplicity of happiness.”

“I ran into your blog about a month ago and just purchased the Premium membership a few days ago because I kept finding myself back at your website. Thank you for creating this treasure trove where one can stop by for quick hits of inspiration, and/or stay for hours. I look forward to many more hours of reading.”

“I just want to say ‘thanks’ for all you are doing here. I’m 69 years young, and most of my life I’ve been searching for meaning and answers to some of life’s most basic (and not so basic) questions. Your site shows me I’m not alone, and there are answers out there. While we all must walk our own path, it is reassuring to know there are others along the way.”

“I’m drawn to Kyle’s amazing focus on what matters—and my desire to be similar to him, and all of you, in pursuing personal growth and being able to connect and share with others. I am so grateful for what Kyle has created and is doing with Sloww. I had been receiving the free newsletter for a while and finally decided to join the community. Not sure why I waited so long. I’m excited to have access to the Premium content, and especially to be able to connect with other like-minded people. I’m eager to grow alongside everyone else.”

“Big fan of your work on Sloww, Kyle. I’ve learned a ton from your synthesized wisdom. It’s really enhanced my perception of the world and my place in it. Stoked for even more slow goodness and to learn from and connect with the undoubtably cool people that make up this Sloww Society.”

“I saw a comment by Kyle on a YouTube video in January 2021. I visited Sloww. I read Kyle’s writing. And BAM! I just KNEW this is a special guy and Sloww is a special place. Need I say more?”

“Since joining the Sloww community, I typically spend an hour per week reading Kyle’s articles and absorbing the insights. It’s been tremendously useful to me.”

“Each Sunday I’m looking forward to receiving the Sloww newsletter, so I was really excited when I read about the community.”

“Thank you for your leap of faith and for starting this awesome resource. Cant say enough about how it has supported me and been my companion in this journey.”

“Undoubtedly, a Sloww community will add value to my life.”

“A positive, mutually-supportive community.”

“Sloww strikes me as a meta-source—a source that references a wide variety of other sources. The way Sloww synthesizes and integrates many perspectives is something time-saving that I like. I’m passionate about autodidacticism, lifelong learning, and articulating ideas. I hope to find even more amazing, useful material in this community. I imagine that every member has a deep intellectual curiosity for understanding reality and the world. I share that sentiment.”

“I enjoy reading the articles that Kyle puts out in Sloww as they resonate with my introspective nature. I would like to connect with individuals here who are looking for the deeper meaning of life. To join others and collectively discover perspectives to ‘Why I am here?'”

“My intention in joining this community is to make like-minded friends on the internet. I read constantly and write often, but I haven’t been very good at exchanging thoughts. Many times I’ve read Kyle’s posts on Twitter and thought ‘get out of my brain.'” 

“I’ve been following Kyle’s work for a while now and strongly resonate with it, so I’m very happy to connect with other members of the Sloww community.”

“I have no recollection of how I found your community, I only know that my true self always leads true north.”

“I am enjoying the incredible amount of information Kyle has curated around topics I find meaningful.  I look forward to following his work and engaging with the community.”

“I really like Kyle’s project and writings, so here am I, happy and curious to be part of the Sloww Society!”

“I want to emphasize how much I value the incredible work Kyle does for the knowledge community. Your contributions have not only enriched my life but also inspired me to contribute back in any way I can.”

“I’ve been a huge fan of Sloww ever since coming across it 1-2 years ago and super excited to join and be a part of this community. I simply love the idea of ‘finding your people’ and seeing what emerges from that. Given what Kyle’s already built with Sloww, I know this community is going to attract some special people. I can’t wait to see what happens!”

“Since I received the first newsletter from Kyle, I was hooked. Kyle you really inspired me with all your content. When you announced you where working on a community, I immediately knew I would join! I’m looking forward to becoming a part of the Sloww Society.”

“We seem to have similar interests and I like the deep dives you take into various subjects. Thank you for making it easy for your readers (me) to follow alongside your curiosity. I just signed up. I look forward to following your insights and to be part of the community. I love being able to learn from like-minded people.”

“I’m here because I LOOOOVE SLOWW and am in awe of what Kyle is doing. I am a lifelong learner and personal growth fan and excited to make new connections with other like-minded members.”

“You’ve created a most welcoming and engaging space. I certainly am glad to be a part of this!”

“I’m amazed by how Kyle is always able to answer with something super insightful, honest and structured. I love that we can have these kind of conversations. It’s so rare!”

“I’ll endeavor to utilize the community and insights. I appreciate all that you’re doing for the wider community (and humanity). Super grateful for your work and service.”

“I think Kyle has created something quite special with Sloww. Very grateful to join.”

“I recently joined the Premium membership you offer. I just wanted to congratulate you because I’m usually cautious about my spendings. This time, I found you so reliable based on the things I had already seen from you for free (and thought that you had already given me so much) that even if I don’t have time right now to read the Premium content I know I want to pay for what I already got, and I know I want to read everything later. I hope this sounds as big of a compliment as it’s meant to be.”

“For what it’s worth, my instincts believe your content is worth far more than its current monetary value. Your work is invaluable to me.”

“I think you have undervalued yourself. The membership is probably too cheap. Love your work mate.”

“The Premium membership is a real deal of a lifetime.”

“I would recommend charging more for Premium given the value.”

“I loved the ‘one and done’ style of the membership and have relished all the insight and wisdom I have received ever since.”

“The BEST value on the internet. I love it! So happy to have found it.”

“It’s such a valuable service you offer.”

“I get so much value from your work. So keep it going!”

“I’ve signed up for your Premium content (which I think is a complete steal).”

“So glad that you’ve made it both affordable and easily accessible.”

“You work really hard, and you give so much value! I’m a member! Woohoo! I appreciate you.”

“From a member who joined within moments of first finding your site. I thought your offering was valuable and resonant. My initial opinion still stands.”

“I’m glad I am a Premium member, it’s a bargain value.”
