“Brian, let me just say thank you for deciding to offer your condensed wisdom of PhilosophersNotes. What a valuable idea. Your "Notes" fit easily, yet effectively into my day and are quickly archived for later reference. Your openness and candor are also appreciated as is your ability to choose not only the best of today's books, but the timeless classics as well. Knowing your background I value your advice and opinions greatly. Keep it up. I highly recommend PhilosophersNotes!”
“Hi Brian, You are very welcome and thank you for creating this company. The world needs more Philospher's Notes! As for other book titles to add, one that comes to mind is Dyer's "Excuses Begone". I hope you are having a wonderful day, your work as helped make mine so. Peace,”
"Since the beginning of time, people have been trying to change the world so that they can be happy. This hasn’t ever worked, because it approaches the problem backward. What The Work gives us is a way to change the projector—mind—rather than the projected. It’s like when there’s a piece of lint on a projector’s lens. We think there’s a flaw on the screen, and we try to change this person and that person, whomever the flaw appears on next. But it’s futile to try to change the projected images. Once we realize where the lint is, we can clear the lens itself. This is the end of suffering, and the beginning of a little joy in paradise." ~ Byron Katie
