Self help and productivity type books are usually a hit or miss for me but I generally enjoyed this one and found useful ways to reframe thinking around using time. I liked the combination of philosophy and ways of thinking about time and mortality, anecdotal contributions, and concrete suggestions and action items – it was a great balance that offered value across multiple axes. Considering purchasing a copy for periodic rereads and so I can annotate. It's almost worth it alone for the references to other texts to be adapted as a reading list!

Not as good as Emergent Strategy but still worth reading. The essay about right relationship with ancestors was great. Many of these essays were lifted from amb's web writing, which is good but not as coherent of a thesis as ES.

I didn't think "The Princess Bride" meets "Gideon the Ninth" could be a real combo but wow. Add a good dose of anarcho-communists, Sapphic platonic love, a few hot sex scenes and we are cooking.
