Saylor Publishes Comprehensive Reading Curriculum on Leadership, Markets, Technology, and Bitcoin

Michael Saylor has published a comprehensive reading curriculum that spans 38 works and requires up to 953 hours of reading. The program, titled 'Upgrade the World,' aims to develop leadership judgment through the study of history, economics, institutions, energy, technology, and monetary systems.

The curriculum is divided into eight themes, with civilizational history receiving the largest time commitment at an estimated 294 to 359 hours. The selection of works includes classics by Will and Ariel Durant, Jared Diamond, John Keegan, and Nassim Nicholas Taleb, as well as economist Murray Rothbard's contributions.

The program concludes with a focus on Bitcoin, recommending Saifedean Ammous' 'The Bitcoin Standard' and Satoshi Nakamoto's original white paper. Saylor emphasizes the importance of understanding what Bitcoin protects, replaces, consumes, coordinates, and constrains before making decisions about its role in society.

Saylor encourages readers to approach the program as a foundation for further study, with critical reading at its core. The program aims to strengthen judgment before leaders make decisions capable of affecting millions of people.
