GM, it's not the best book but it's honest work. What matters though is consistency.

The hardest part about philosophy is to remember in daily life what you once understood during a meditation. On the spot, within a second or two, when life challenges you, to be able to recognize your emotions and to remember what you've once read and decided how you would act. The hard part is not understanding, it's acting on it when you actually need to. Even a child can understand it because what's good is often simple, even trivial.

The only way to get there is through repetition. Do philosophy every day and your moral instincts will grow like a muscle.

GM. Stoicism is pretty cool.

GM & yes putting what you know into practice is key💯

Gm, Ryan holiday is great ☕️

Good morning, Calle 🌻💜

One breakthrough for me has been my realization that I consume way too much information. It's just how I'm built. However, it can be detrimental when I don't slow down to actually apply or sit with certain concepts long enough. Often, information applied if more beneficial than information consumed. This is a massive lesson for me that I wish I'd figured out at 20. So goes life.

Good morning bro

I am half way and some passages really help especially not worrying about things you have no control over. It gives a different perspective.
