A note from BrendanSession 01 · November 2026

A 600-page synthesis is not something you finish. It is something you argue with.

So from November I'm reading The Grand Illusion with members, one section a month, live. Bring your questions to the calls. Every session is recorded, and a digital copy of the book is included.
