⚾No Five-Run Home Runs, Re-read Saturday, The Psychology of Money, Wk 1, Logistics and Introduction

Wk 1, Logistics and Introduction The next book in our re-read theme is The Psychology of Money: Timeless Lessons On Wealth, Greed, And Happiness by Morgan Housel. Why? This is more than a book about money and wealth; it is more than a psychology book; it is as much a philosophy book in the ancient tradition. “For the Stoics, a true philosopher was not someone who merely held subtle thoughts, but someone who embodied these principles through their behavior and character.” …...

🤫Quiet! Stillness IS The Key by Ryan Holiday, Re-read Saturday, 22, Final Thoughts on Stillness Is The Key

"All of humanity's problems stem from man's inability to sit quietly in a room alone." Blaise Pascal Five of my takeaways: The only thing we truly control is our reasoned choices and thoughts. Stillness is the tool that protects that choice from being hijacked by "impressions" or “emotions.” Actions matter more than words or thoughts. Our tangible choices—not intentions—shape our character and the world around us....

💤 Die If You Don’t Sleep, Stillness IS The Key by Ryan Holiday, Re-read Saturday, 20, Go to Sleep

Sleep when you die OR die if you don’t sleep? The grind HAS a high cost! Why it matters: Much of our physical well-being depends on moderating the urge to work ourselves to exhaustion. It is a constant struggle to balance the "always-on" demands of modern life and the biological necessity of regeneration. Personal context: I can recall several stretches of my career spent working without sleep—fifty to sixty hours without going home, months of 120-hour weeks, and relentless RFPs consisting of twenty-hour days punctuated only by a quick shower and a twenty-five-minute nap....
