Synthesizer Course

“Truly awesome! I hardly, if ever, use the word awesome, but it is entirely appropriate here! I’ve just had a quick click through the content, and I can’t comprehend how you managed to put this all together, so thoroughly, on your own, while still maintaining the Sloww site and engaging with us all! … Kyle, your course (like the Sloww site) is exceptional on every level—the clarity, the structure, the sequencing, the graphics, the video version of each page to address different learning styles, the balance of text, image, white space, the supporting wiki, and there is not one wasted word. It’s not just about synthesis, it’s a brilliant example of synthesis … I used to see ‘synthesis’ just as a type of thinking that I’m not very good at. This course has made me see it as a process … it’s a way of life, a way of engaging with the world, of exploring meaning and purpose. I love the embodiedness of SPARK and YEARN and the metamorphic aspect of HATCH and EVOLVE. And there I was thinking this course was just going to be about NOTE and THINK! … I’m REALLY enjoying your synthesizer course … Thank you so much for being you and sharing all of this.”

“I’ve been a fan of Kyle’s work and Sloww for years. I’m always looking for answers and meanings. So, when I found Sloww along the way, it really opened up a whole new range of topics to dive in. What a journey it has been! Thank you Kyle for sharing all your insights for us to learn and investigate! Each Sunday I’m looking forward to receiving the Sloww Sunday newsletter, so I was really excited when I read about the course … I’m curious to learn how to work on my own synthesis … I totally relate with only engaging in the first half of the synthesizing process (Spark, Yearn, Note). Curious to learn what is holding me back until now from taking the next step to Think, Hatch & Evolve and putting these steps in the world.”

“I just wanted to reach out and say, man, I’m blown away by what you’ve created with Sloww. It’s no wonder they call you the GOAT! … Speaking of incredible content, that Synthesizer course of yours has really caught my eye. It’s like you read my mind and created a course that covers everything I want to improve on … What you’re doing with Sloww is already making a huge difference in my personal growth journey, and I’m stoked about the possibility of learning even more from you through the Synthesizer course … With such an amazing deal on the table, it’s pretty much a no-brainer for me to jump on board and get started right away!”

“Congrats on launching the Synthesizer course!!! I know how much of your heart-mind-soul you already put into it, consistently, over time. May it bless many and all. Thank you for sharing your gifts. I’m signing up and plan to slowly move through it over the course of 2024-2025 … I can’t wait to see what I learn from the Synthesizer course. I already know it’s going to be next-level! … My neurons are ecstatically dancing with new concepts and connections, moving into more coherence with the rhythm of networked nature … I feel inspired to move forward. I understand the why, what, and how clearly.”

“I think spending time on Sloww is magical. You can tell you care. There’s this passion put into it. It’s like, ‘Why would anyone do this? Why would anyone do these incredibly long, thoughtful posts?’ You’ve basically mapped out how to live an intentional life and put everything on your site. You realize the only reason somebody would do this is because they enjoy it, and that’s so beautiful … You’re probably one of the best in the world at reading, researching, and synthesizing … You are the synthesizer of synthesizers.”

“Ever since the first announcement, I was thrilled to start this course. I’ve been waiting so long for this. If there is someone who knows what he is talking about, it is you! Can’t wait to learn from you and all the other people in this course.”

“Even though I stopped working 10 years ago, I still bought this course … And that’s because I haggled you for at least three years about it. I look forward to digging in, Kyle. Congratulations on the launch. I know it will be worth the wait.”

“A great introduction on how we can get wiser by understanding the full lifecycle of an idea. I also appreciated the fascinating bonus lesson on perspectives!”

“This is already incredible, and I can tell how much time and work you put into this. Looking forward to it all! … Anything Kyle produces is an auto-buy for me. The way he thinks and writes resonates deeply with me, and I’ve never walked away from any of his content without learning something new. I admire his ability to distill knowledge in a way that is understandable and feels complete. I also have many synergies with the type of knowledge he is after in my own life and find it all so interesting. After being on this learning / growing / evolving journey for the past 15 years, I’ve noticed truly how everything is connected, and I am hoping this course helps me organize my thoughts and what I consume daily in a way that they can be even more useful to me going forward … I’ve realized very clearly that I only engage with half of the synthesizing process (Spark, Yearn, Note) and then move on to the next thing or get sidetracked. I really think seeing ideas through and exploring the second half of the system is going to be so beneficial for me to retain more knowledge and draw more connections between my interests.”

“You’ve blown my mind, and it’s day one! … I can’t imagine the work that goes into a course, especially one as deep as this. You are a brave soul to have journeyed this far … The format of the video, visuals, text, and audio are appreciated. The Synthesizer course is clearly going to blow any course I’ve taken out of the water. Your SYNTHE System puts into clear perspective the steps from SPARK to EVOLVE. For me, this visual shows me I am stopping halfway through the system—most of the time not even noting, and moving on to intake more information. I’m thrilled to learn how I can bridge the gap between NOTE and EVOLVE! … I’ve been with Sloww since 2020. I’m not sure where this journey is going to lead, but I am trusting my intuition. I’m very grateful to be in this space with all of you … I wouldn’t have called myself a synthesizer before; I was unaware that was a possibility … I’m seeing how I am in the world in a whole new way.”

“I am taking the Synthesizer course for a number of reasons. After teaching high school for 30 years and university for over 15 years after that, I am committed to learning new things. That is why I am here. I will stop learning when I am dead. Right now, I am 80 years old, having passed Oliver Burkeman’s 4000 weeks mark several years ago. My advice to those younger than I am is DON’T STOP. Don’t stop learning or anything else that you regard as good and valuable. My favorite words are ‘I can still.’ There’s a lot I can still do, and learning is at the top of the list … This course seems like a structured way for me to encounter new ideas linked to other new ideas and learn even more.”

“I have never seen, nor felt, myself as a ‘synthesizer’ until the other day when I realized that I operate a juggle between noticing the differences with-in the similarities, and noticing the similarities with-in the differences. In fact, I watch for them! … I am looking forward to this course, Kyle, and thank you for the amount of work that has gone into this—which appears to many of us as nothing short of staggering!”

“Kyle may be one of the most well-read humans, and certainly the most relentlessly curious human, that I’ve ever come across … Kyle is the GOAT for curating and writing some of the most thoughtful essays on the internet. He’s opened up access to his incredible mind. I’d definitely check it out if you’re looking to be a more prolific creator and thinker in the coming years!”

“I’m keen to dive into the course. I had a little click through this morning and am already confident that this course will provide value! … I have been following the Sloww newsletter, and I resonate with Kyle’s content choices and style. Keen to learn about his approach to synthesizing information and creating content.”

“I have been following the Sloww newsletter for a while, and the whole ‘synthesizer’ concept is very appealing to me. I feel like this is already what I am doing, but not systematically and without regular results and impact.”

“Excited to take the course, apply the frameworks in my journey, and also learn together with people around the world.”

“Many congratulations on launching the Synthesizer course! … I have always been amazed at how Kyle brings forth his creativity in such a beautiful way on his site and newsletters. I’m grateful to have the opportunity now to be able to learn, synthesize and bring clarity in my thinking … I have read and been amazed by your articles, summaries and attention to design on your website. I always wanted to learn how to do that. Everywhere there is too much information, not much wisdom. We’re focused much more on parts than the whole, making synthesizing all the more important. Earlier, I didn’t have proper resources and a genuine teacher who cares more about people than money. With your help, through synthesizing, I will be able to find and also create signal amidst the noise … Maybe doing something which I genuinely want to do, not have to do, will help me earn independently in the long run and also help people the way you are doing now … Going through Synthesizer showed how every process is interconnected. Everything is connected to everything.”

“Just a quick shout-out to say the course is great! Have just gone through the first module, and I’m feeling not only thrilled (about the concepts, the larger scaffold / framework / philosophy), excited (by the strategies and ideas they have already sparked for me), but also grateful and moved—something I didn’t expect. The lifelong journey of engagement with ideas has been such an foundational part of who I am, and something I’m so grateful for … I can see this course will impact me and ripple out in my psyche in more ways than I expected, and maybe in more ways than Kyle has envisaged (or allowed himself to believe) … Thank you Kyle for the great work! I’m looking forward to diving deeper and sharing the explorations with others.”

“I have come across Sloww not so long ago, and I find your perspective, insights, and your approach motivating and inspiring. Your self-discovery and self-actualization journey is particularly appealing to me, as I find myself in a similar state currently. I therefore got interested in the Synthesizer course, and I really would like to explore it. I trust it offers a great value for the money … I feel the course would be very useful to me and might help reshaping my perspective and my approach to self-actualization … I really admire your inclusive approach to your customers. That’s why I am really curious to join and explore your course … The course looks awesome!”

“I just ordered your Synthesizer course … I am really enjoying the course so far … I look forward to taking your course and reading other authors on how to integrate all the ideas into a few critical ideas and their connections to other ideas with metaphors, analogies, examples, and explanations to form mental models or to build knowledge networks to be able to apply in real life. I am enjoying the videos, graphics, and the full text for each section of the course. I like your organization of the content, and this will help me develop my own organizing skills and building structure for new knowledge I am learning.”

“Just wanted to reach out and tell you how inspiring and impactful I find your work and contribution to be. I feel very fortunate to have been a part of your community from the earliest stages … I’m hoping your Synthesizer course will be a perfect fit for me on our mission to help with planetary awakening … I’m dreaming that one day I’ll be able to work with you as a coach. I’m SO blown away by the depth of your genius and your ability to find the signal in the noise … You’re doing tremendous work and I’m grateful to have found you and your tribe.”

“My perception is that practically all of what we really need to figure out this mess we call the human condition and help the whole world live ‘the good life’ has already been written down, and we’ve just got to figure out how to put it together—and having access to the course and community could be helpful.”

“Congratulations on the Synthesizer course launch! I’m very excited and happy to buy and learn more.”

“Congratulations on launching the course, Kyle! Excited to give this a try on some upcoming projects.”
