THE LOST ART OF READING PHILOSOPHY You are in the .01% of people if you actually read philosophy books (for yourself). Too many people let guru’s and AI think for them. Too many people: - are gluttons for information and facts. - don’t use their minds to think, but consume.

Grab any book on philosophy. Don't look up what it's about. Don't research the author. Don't ask reddit. Do dive in. Do follow your curiosity. Do ask the book a question. Do look up words you don't know. Adventures happen when you confront the unknown, the unexplored,

Reduce your “anxiety” by addressing it indirectly. If you feel “anxious”, get better at forgetting. Here’s how: Choose one project you can finish by the end of the week, and make it fun. Goals create sublimity.

If you aren’t growing, you’re decaying. If you don’t workout, you get weak. If you refuse challenges, you become biased. No one will grow your mind for you. Take control of growing your own mind by reading philosophy. (free guide below:)
