Excellent Advice for Living

Kevin Kelly, the Wired guy, writes a series of extremely brief pieces of guidance ranging from practical to profound.

He admits up front that it’s not all brand new, but it’s all clearly stated and it’s a masterful aggregation. 

There’s no fluff and no filler. It’s got a negligible degree of pretentiousness, despite the title. It grew out of a series of letters to his kids. That love, joy, and skin in the game comes through.

I don’t think any adult could read it without finding something already internalized, nor do I think that anyone could go through it without finding something worth adding to his or her internal rule book. 

I’m going to read it again with my kids this weekend.

Recommended for everyone.

Plutarch’s Lives

I only read four of the fortyish biographies, but I counted it on my list because they’re all isolated and the four amounted to book length. 

The two historical figures, Cicero and Marc Antony, were presented in a different light than I’d seen them in before. The two mythological figures received more familiar treatment, but in greater detail. 

I’ll definitely return to this. It’s great for those of us who think about the Roman Empire every day.

Ohhhhh gotcha. I had a brief moment of panic that there was some old author I’d been missing out on 

Thank you for the recommendations 🫡

No no, Spooner is great but I'm telling about Plutarch's Lysander.

Alcibiades is an incredible read as well - King of rizz
