Writing is the most direct path to develop a clear and eloquent mind. Crone facilitates fun, effective writing through bite-sized lessons with the greatest thinkers of all time.
Gain clarity + eloquence
The titans of every field mentored themselves through rigorous reading, writing, and reflection. They wrote to understand reality, shape their lives, and to remove what held them back.
Write to "live the questions. Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer."
Live a prolific life
Writing for self breeds clarity. Writing for others breeds serendipity.
As you write, you give people, opportunities, and luck a better chance to find you. Perhaps best of all, you join The Great Conversation that has taken place since the dawn of civilization. You respond to what's come before you and you add yourself to the story.
Be mentored by
Arthur had Merlin. Plato had Socrates. You have your inner wisdom. You can call this faculty by many names: the Satguru, intuition, Chokmah, Pir, the Holy Spirit, or Tao. Joseph Campbell called this the Crone, the spiritual aid in the hero's journey.
Crone AI aids your journey by putting you in conversation with the wisest voices of past and present. It's more expert than a therapist, more intimate than a chatbot, and more convenient than a coach.

Write to change your thoughts and life
The key to success is clear thinking. The key to clear thinking is abundant reading, writing, and reflection. Crone gathers the best of these ingredients into 8-minute meditative reading and writing sessions.
If you’re thinking without writing, you only think you’re thinking... Writing about something, even something you know well, usually shows you that you didn't know it as well as you thought.
Paul Graham
You write to discover what you know.
Flannery O'Connor
I insist on a lot of time being spent thinking.
Warren Buffet
The reading of all good books is like a conversation with the finest minds of past centuries.
Rene Descartes
I truly believe clear writing is the single most important skill in business.
Nathan Barry
The habit of writing for my own eye only is good practice. It loosens the ligaments.
Virginia Woolf
Writing is thinking on paper.
William Zinsser
Too much binge-reading. Not enough deep reading. Why read more authors when you can spend more time with your favorite ones? Why read more books when you can dive deeper into the greatest ones of all-time?
David Perell
Journaling is like whispering to one's self and listening at the same time.
Mina Murray (Dracula)
In the journal, I do not just express myself more openly than I could to any person; I create myself.
Susan Sontag
To write well is to think clearly. That's why it's so hard.
David McCullough
A man is literally what he thinks, his character being the complete sum of all his thoughts... As he thinks, so he is; as he continues to think, so he remains.
James Allen
Reading furnishes the mind only with materials of knowledge; it is thinking that makes what we read ours.
John Locke
If you do interesting things then write about them publicly with an authentic voice, like-minded people want to meet the person behind that voice. Writing is a bat signal for your people.
Julian Shapiro
And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer.
Rainer Maria Rilke
I write entirely to find out what I'm thinking, what I'm looking at, what I see and what it means. What I want and what I fear.
Joan Didion
Writing is the ultimate tool to sharpen thinking. When you write, you expose the gaps that exist in your logic and thinking.
Sahil Bloom
Writing, to me, is simply thinking through my fingers.
Isaac Asimov
Journal writing is a voyage to the interior
Christina Baldwin
Writing is the painting of the voice; the closer the resemblance, the better it is.
Voltaire
The act of writing is the act of discovering what you believe.
David Hare
The best way to teach people critical thinking is to teach them to write. There is no difference between writing and thinking... If you can think and write you are absolutely deadly. Nothing can get in your way.
Jordan Peterson
I've written every single day for 500 days. Since then, I can point *every* good thing that's happened in my life back to this daily habit.
Dickie Bush
The world's most valuable skill is clarity of thought.
Romeen Sheth
People spend too much time doing and not enough time thinking about what they should be doing... Your success in life depends on your ability to make good decisions.
Naval Ravikant
Reading without reflecting is like eating without digesting.
Edmund Burke
In the case of good books, the point is not to see how many of them you can get through, but rather how many can get through to you.
Mortimer J. Adler
Writing is the process by which you realize what you think and what you understand are two different things.
Shane Parrish
The mind which really thinks is bound to chronicle its thoughts, and chronicle them daily.
Thomas Edison
Copy others' writing by hand. Simple as that — and doing so gives people a sense for a writer's flow, voice, and rhythm.
Sam Parr
Clear writing is a mirror of clear thinking.
Maurice Chandler
Write to be understood, speak to be heard, read to grow
Lawrence Clark Powell
Reading makes a full man, meditation a profound man, discourse a clear man.
Benjamin Franklin
The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts.
Marcus Aurelius
If you’re thinking without writing, you only think you’re thinking... Writing about something, even something you know well, usually shows you that you didn't know it as well as you thought.
