Tiago Forte has conducted an annual life review every year since 2008. Over nearly two decades, that practice evolved from a simple end-of-year ritual into the ARC Method-a framework for cultivating the one thing modern life seems structurally designed to deny: perspective.
He is the bestselling author of Building a Second Brain and The PARA Method, which together have reached more than half a million readers in over twenty-five languages. Through his company Forte Labs, he has trained over ten thousand students from more than seventy countries in the practice of thinking clearly and living with intention.
His work has been featured in The New York Times, Harvard Business Review, Fast Company, and TIME. He lives in Valle de Bravo, Mexico – a small town on a volcanic lake – with his wife and two children.
