Book cover for When Breath Becomes Air
At age thirty-six, I had reached the mountaintop; I could see the Promised Land, from Gilead to Jericho to the Mediterranean Sea.

Robert M. Pirsig
“This book offers another, more serious alternative to material success. It’s not so much an alternative as an expansion of the meaning of “successâ€� to something larger than just getting a good job and staying out of trouble. And also something larger than mere freedom. It gives a positive goal to work toward that does not confine.”
Robert M. Pirsig, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance

Datis Kharrazian
“Basically, playing video games that cause you to respond quickly to attacks increases the negative plastic development of your limbic system.”
Datis Kharrazian, Why Isn't My Brain Working?: A revolutionary understanding of brain decline and effective strategies to recover your brain’s health

Robert Fulghum
“I came to understand that I am not the light or the source of light. But light—truth, understanding, knowledge—is there, and it will only shine in many dark places if I reflect it. “I am a fragment of a mirror whose whole design and shape I do not know. Nevertheless, with what I have I can reflect light into the dark places of this world—into the black places in the hearts of men—and change some things in some people. Perhaps others may see and do likewise. This is what I am about. This is the meaning of my life.”
Robert Fulghum, It Was On Fire When I Lay Down On It

Maxwell Maltz
“It is no exaggeration to say that every human being is hypnotized to some extent either by ideas he has uncritically accepted from others or ideas he has repeated to himself or convinced himself are true. These negative ideas have exactly the same effect upon our behavior as the negative ideas implanted into the mind of a hypnotized subject by a professional hypnotist.”
Maxwell Maltz, Psycho-Cybernetics: A New Way to Get More Living Out of Life

Brian  Christian
“Even the best strategy sometimes yields bad results—which is why computer scientists take care to distinguish between “processâ€� and “outcome.â€� If you followed the best possible process, then you’ve done all you can, and you shouldn’t blame yourself if things didn’t go your way.”
Brian Christian, Algorithms to Live By: The Computer Science of Human Decisions
