#126. How Do We Organize Knowledge? - Sarah Abou Hadir

Is philosophy useful? Can you read too much? How are science and spirituality related?

This week’s guest is Sarah Abou Hadir. Sarah is a professional editor, writer, book virtuoso, and TikTok influencer. She is a ferocious reader, as she has read about 20 books a month during the pandemic, not to mention her impressive memory recall and retention. Currently, Sarah is in the process of self-publishing the book that she wants to read the most.

Sarah studied physics, political science, and public administration at the American University of Beirut, and Journalism, Media & Communication in Madrid, Spain.

From philosophy, quantum physics, and mental health, to modern wisdom, it appears that Sarah dabbles in all these esoteric yet practical domains.

A little fun fact: Sarah and Benoit crossed paths during the pandemic on Clubhouse, an app that has died very hard since, but shoutout to Clubhouse nonetheless. In hindsight, CH should have accepted the $4 billion offer by Twitter back in 2021…

Expect to learn about why reading too much is harmful, the practical application of philosophy, why TikTok can be profound, timeless thought experiments to improve your life, how to fight death, and much more.

Let's get this started.
