Itâs almost hypnotic. I almost didnât get it because I didnât want to read a bunch of life guidelines, but the story weaves it so that youâre aching to find the next rule every time you pick it back up.

It is the best book to kick off the new year with. It helps shift your mindset to the blessings we have and to stop ruminating on negativity

Cute & pithy subversion of âwherever you go, there you areâ, the mantra that basically ruled my life for three years. Gave me recognition of agency that I sorely needed when surrendering myself to my circumstances and making peace with everything just wasnât cutting it.
Happens to be the title of a short essay from All Things Are Too Small by Becca Rothfeld, an essay collection that turned me upside down, held me by the ankle, and shook me until a whole bunch of unquestioned Goods fell right out of my worldview, including (the subject of this essay!!) western meditation and the self control in pursuit of indifference that is its ultimate stated aim.
This essay in particular I think goes on for a little too long but hey!! Excess and indulgence in all things sex and love and thought and beauty and worldly items - each are handled completely separately and thoughtfully and wittily and I canât blame her for making the words and passages themselves as lush and voluminous as their subjects reportedly ought to be. If you read it (I hope you do!!!) itâll change the way and depth in which you think about Something and it wonât even be the thing you expect
