I find it harder to find meaning in work these days. I think a portion of that stems from that modern world where I find myself surrounded by comforts but still being told to meet deadlines at work. Surely it was "easier" to come to grips with being a Roman warrior back in the day as opposed to bagging groceries now....Its almost like we are paralyzed by comfort
Love this - thank you for your weekly breakdowns of books. I think your perspective is right on. A book I would recommend reading if you haven’t is How to get Rich by Felix Dennis
Great to see a prominent figure (you Pomp :) )offering time and energy on content that addresses the bigger themes. Once we awaken (later in life unfortunately for knuckleheads like me) , we continually search for the answers to these important ideas/thoughts. Really appreciate this piece :) a lot of wisdom and perspective which i wish i paid more attention to when i was younger :)
Thanks for reading -- can't say that I am any better than anyone else. Just trying to read as much from the people who came before us and have seen their work survive the test of time.
Pomp. Today is my birthday. Your reply touched me and made my day!. Its just a live demonstration of the power of technology and the good it can bring to the world. I’m jn and focused - as per your Marcus piece. Just wanted to say thankyou and your efforts are not lost in the abyss :) its working, touching and motivating us all - keep on the path brother.
*insert highly critical comment about a book review*
However, as someone doing a book a week review this year as well, I do find myself wondering the proper depth for these blogs. Initially, I imagined that the point was to pique interest into these works - not so much write my musings on each novel. However, the feedback I’ve received does seem to point to a desire for a level of profundity in each review
The secret is that I write these for myself. Have been for awhile. I'm just now publishing them for others to read. If they like them, great. If not, that is great too. I still got the value out of them and can go back to reference when necessary.
Thanks Pomp! VERY Timely. I appreciate your willingness to take feedback gracefully and learn. Now, if only those who provide feedback could practice the same. You don’t need to do this, and I appreciate your efforts to help me save time and get a  couple of quick ideas to practice during the day.
Great post and insights on Meditations by Marcus Aurelius. Could not help but think of Professor Jordan Peterson in many of the statements you referred to. Would love to get down to Miami in March for your event but we already will be driving down from The Villages, FL in April for 2 week cruise then soon after again for Bitcoin 2023. ---mikeD

That’s worth thinking about, Kyle. Thanks for that comment!

Thanks for a recommendation. We can’t get enough!

Thank you Pomp. A wonderful read. Well done!
I am in awe . Simply wow . Your work is changing life. I am writing this from Manama, Bahrain

Thanks for reading today, Elizabeth. Glad you found this one valuable
Outstanding job. Thanks, little shot of being able to have found the time to do this.
Thanks for reading! Glad you found it valuable
oh wow just what the internet needed
Another mediocre, warmed-over synopsis of Meditations
Groundbreaking stuff!
Thanks for your feedback. Will try to do better next time and impress you!
Can't see that happening.
