“What’s the point of having countless books and libraries, whose titles could hardly be read through in a lifetime. The learner is not taught, but burdened by the sheer volume, and it’s better to plant the seeds of a few authors than to be scattered about by many.” — Seneca.
There are a few authors that I have read repeatedly and have studied everything that they have ever written or said or documented.
They are, of course, Marcus Aurelius, Seneca, Epictetus, Chuang Tzu, Lao Tsu, Alan Watts, Steven Pressfield, and when I started my journey in personal growth, Tony Robbins.
Yes, I have read and am still reading more books from diverse authors.
Those cited above, however, never leave my side. They are my mentors, my friends, and my guides. Often, they are my father figures. I have a “board of directors” automation in my journaling practice on Notion (more about that later). These authors, thinkers, and teachers are my directors.
