The book serves as a treasure trove of bite-sized wisdom offering readers an engaging and easily digestible guide to navigating life’s ups and downs. The newfound appreciation this can generate for your own backyard is just as valuable as any exotic introduction. The advice ranged from the optimal size of a back patio to be utilized, to overarching life purpose advice. A great way to understand yourself is to seriously reflect on everything you find irritating in others.
With parables and quotes that focus on what matters most, this book is like a compass that points readers in the right direction. This book is thought-provoking, evergreen, needed, fun, and most of all: might just make us better people. The trick to making wise decisions is to evaluate your choices as if you were looking back 25 years from today. Doing so will make your first exposure all the more profound and your transition back home far less jarring.Memorize the rule of three here too: you can last three weeks without food, three days without water, but only three hours without temperate shelter. And one hundred years from now, when so much of the nonsense of our age is forgotten, people will still remember Kevin Kelly and his wisdom.
Yet as cliche as this sounds, there's a new original gem for every expected recycled quote - and that's what makes it interesting enough to read. Of course, this necessitates an unwavering commitment to doing the work – hypothesizing, trialing, failing, adjusting, and repeating ad nauseam. However, over the following years, his treasure chest of aphorisms grew and took on a life of its own. The last time I felt like I read a book this densely distilled and worthy of taking one page at a time was New Seeds of Contemplation by Thomas Merton. This hardback book is surprisingly small in size, and well laid out but with rough paper and the occasional ink smear.I am offering advice I have heard from others, or timeless knowledge repeated from the past, or a modern aphorism that matched my own experience. I have no staff, no interns, not even an assistant — a thoroughly one-woman labor of love that is also my life and my livelihood.
To start with the counterintuitive, one of the best things you can do for your children is to prioritize your relationship with your partner. Kevin Kelly offers a treasure trove of practical insights and timeless advice on a wide range of topics, including career, creativity, relationships, and spirituality. Often, that wisdom comes so simply worded as to appear trite — but it is the simplicity of a children’s book, or of a Zen parable: unvarnished elemental truth about what it means to be alive, hard-won and generously offered.In 100 years a lot of what we take to be true now will be proved to be wrong, maybe even embarrassingly wrong.
Life will become lighter if you prioritize being considerate over being correct in your conversations with others. To his surprise, Kelly had more to say than he thought, and kept adding to the advice over the years, compiling a life’s wisdom into these pages. Kevin Kelly tells you right away he isn't reinventing the wheel and much, if not all, of this advice came to him from other sources, but just like him, it's on us to put it into practice and meditate on it. Kevin has distilled complex and important ideas into simple, actionable advice: a compelling antidote to thinkism. If you already have kids or are looking to start a family soon, here are some lessons Kelly learned while bringing up his own.
To transcend the influence of your heroes copy them shamelessly like a student until you get them out of your system.
