You have to go deep. If your goal is to get not just smarter or more knowledgeable, but wiser, you cannot be content to learn in half measures. - Ryan Holiday

Most of us are afraid of dying. But sometimes this fear begs the question: To protect what exactly? For a lot of people the answer is: hours of television, gossiping, gorging, wasting potential, reporting to a boring job, and on and on and on. Except, in the strictest sense, is this actually a life? Is this worth gripping so tightly and being afraid of losing? It doesn’t sound like it.

In Times of Crisis We Need More:

- Compassion
- Kinship
- Service
- Courage

And Less:

- Selfishness
- Distrust
- Ingratitude
- Dread

It’s a temptation that exists for everyone — for talk and hype to replace action.
