JIM CLAIR | Cultivation of Character

Jim Clair is a writer.

That's it.

He got his start in Direct Response copywriting, from which he's retired. Now he reads, thinks, writes, and works to surface the deceptions, flawed beliefs, and lies of the worlds through which he's traveled, on his way to a better, fuller life.

He also bullies sciolists, talks better reading, and limns success Polytheism. And if you don't know what those things mean, you're about to find out.

In our conversation, Jim and I discussed:

• Edward Gibbon's Classic "Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire"


• Why Reading is an Intimate Conversation


• Jim's Powerful Journey of Transformation


• Calling out Gurus and Success Polytheists


• The Limitations of ChatGPT vs. Human Writing


• The Process of Learning and Unlearning


• Men Cultivating Taste and Character
