Dear friends,

Baruch Hashem, my first book, Mastering the Mind: A Guide to Focused Learning and Torah Retention, was published last year and has been well received. It explores how to sharpen focus and improve retention in Torah learning.

I have now drafted the manuscript for my follow-up book, Motivating the Mind, which builds on that foundation by addressing another crucial question: How can we cultivate the motivation needed for lifelong Torah learning?

This book combines the wisdom of Chazal with psychological and scientific insights to uncover what truly drives us. It explores both intrinsic motivators—like curiosity, mastery, autonomy, and joy—alongside extrinsic factors such as social pressure, rewards, and accountability, helping to transform learning into something not just consistent, but deeply fulfilling.

Publishing a book requires significant resources—editing, design, printing, and distribution all come at a cost. I am turning to you for support in making this project a reality. Every contribution, big or small, helps bring this book to life and into the hands of those who can benefit from it.

If Mastering the Mind resonated with you, or if you believe in the importance of helping others reach their potential in Torah learning, please consider donating and sharing this campaign.

If you’d like a copy of Mastering the Mind or a sneak peek at the Motivating the Mind manuscript, I’d be happy to send one—just let me know!

Tizku l’mitzvos,

Saul
