Why the move that makes no sense to your rational mind is the only one that frees you – and why its very irrationality is the reason it works You carry a part of you that needs things to add up. Hand it a problem and it does what it always does – reasons, plans, […]
Why dreaming with your eyes wide open has only one way in – and why that way is the opposite of everything you would normally do Notice, for a moment, how much of your day you do not actually remember. The commute that happened while you were elsewhere. The meal eaten while you answered messages. […]
Why the foundation of happiness is not control but absolute trust – and why the more tightly you grip, the more unreachable happiness feels You have arranged things well. The accounts, the calendar, the people, the contingencies – you have learned to stay ahead of life, to see the problem before it arrives and have […]
