I sincerely hope we get back to just living. It is exhausting to note how many things (jobs, lives, hobbies) now are shared and "must" be shared on a global scale. The value of little moments is almost entirely gone, and it's disheartening. We are so focused on what we can be doing, rather than how we can be living.

I appreciate your willingness to not sugarcoat your beliefs into suggestions. Just getting after it, that's the true mark of a practical philosopher.

That shift will surely happen. Slowly but surely, people are beginning to realize their appreciation for nature and life.

I'm 20 years old. My current circumstances don't allot me much space to really experience life at the deepest level, but making that a goal in itself has made every tumultuous day another conquered trial. Also, you bring up an amazing point with Tim Ferris. It truly feels like a barrier to remain stuck in the routine of listening to advice that might hold, but eventually slides down the wall and into the bucket of sameness that plagues that particular niche. It's time to explore, for ourselves, what it means to live.
