Atilla Mert Sulker on the great productivity of Walter Block

Here is a man – even at 78 years young – who continues churning out well thought out papers like a machine. He doesn’t seem to waste a minute of his life and always remains incredibly productive. He’s already published some 500 papers, both independently and with others. He’s sparked viciously rigorous debates in academic circles that have resulted in endless cycles of rejoinders.

I think it’s safe to say that Walter Block is what business magnate Dan Peña would call a “high performance person” – “being all that you can be, every day, 24/7, 365.” It’s hard not be inspired by such individuals. At the end of the day, the same lessons of discipline and high-performance apply, regardless of how one leads their life.

Whether one wants to go into the realm of business, academia, or entrepreneurship, the Walter Block mindset is one worth adopting.
