“Books ARE heavy. Lol. My closet-shelf-cum-bookshelf is groaning under the
weight of all the books I have. When I learned about what PhilosophersNotes
is, I knew you had a winner... Now when I'm working out, working, veggin out
(not nearly as much as I might like to) I can be constructive and listen to
you wax philosophical on some of the most insightful books of our time on my
ipod. And that's pretty darn neat. :-)”
“Brian, I can't tell you enough how your notes have encouraged me. In many ways they are exactly what I have needed to here. My husband began listening many months ago but I refused. Although we have taken our kids on a 1 1/2 trip and our currently living and teaching English in China, you'd think I would be a very self-actualized, confident person. However, this is not the case. I daily hike up a local mountain and listen to one of your notes. It has drastically improved my daily life as well as help me focus on where I go from here. What do you do when your living your dreams at 40? Time to refocus.
Thanks for your commitment to this project, and as long as you keep writing I'll keep listening!
Best wishes for you!”
"In the yogic tradition, this principle of using intense effort to burn through life’s distractions is called Tapas. It’s another Sanskrit word, roughly defined as “heat” or “essential energy.” The concept is that through a disciplined approach to work and self-sacrifice, Tapas will burn away the negativity that separates us from God. By working our hardest and happily enduring the hardships of life we are able to create a sense of peace and clarity in ourselves." ~ Russell Simmons
