“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, Thanks for creating pnotes. It feels very good to do business with someone who understands how to create enormous value for their customers, without squeezing every dollar from their wallet. Awesome work. I'd easily pay 10x your price - which is less than the real dollar -> value translation I get from the notes.”
"In reality, there is no such thing as a “should” or a “shouldn’t.” These are only thoughts that we impose onto reality. The mind is like a carpenter’s level. When the bubble is off to one side—“It shouldn’t be raining”—we can know that the mind is caught in its thinking. When the bubble is right in the middle—“It’s raining”—we can know that the surface level and the mind is accepting reality as it is. Without the “should” and “shouldn’t,” we can see reality as it is, and this leaves us free to act efficiently, clearly, and sanely. Asking “What’s the reality of it?” can help bring the mind out of its story, back into the real world." ~ Byron Katie
