Join 📚 Christian Champ's Highlights
A batch of the best highlights from what Christian's read, .
When you give up autonomy of goals (i.e., cede agency over deciding what’s worth doing/caring about and why) you can generally expect to get a lot more work. There is always a lot of demand for people who will do what they’re told within a sharply bounded scope, no questions asked. And you will tend to take the work, because you will start to measure your life by the numbers that get driven up by sheer quantity of work—dollars, fawning testimonials, awards. And you will find yourself getting overworked and exhausted.

Excellent Advice for Living
Kevin Kelly
The warrior’s approach is to say “yes” to life: “yea” to it all. Participate joyfully in the sorrows of the world. We cannot cure the world of sorrows, but we can choose to live in joy. When we talk about settling the world’s problems, we’re barking up the wrong tree. The world is perfect. It’s a mess. It has always been a mess. We are not going to change it. Our job is to straighten out our own lives.
