“Let’s look at a passage from Atomic Habits, by James Clear: “Imagine two people resisting a cigarette. When offered a smoke, the first person says, “No thanks. I’m trying to quit.” It sounds like a reasonable response, but this person still believes they are a smoker who is trying to be something else. They are hoping their behavior will change while carrying around the same beliefs. The second person declines by saying, “No thanks. I’m not a smoker.” It’s a small difference, but this statement signals a shift in identity. Smoking was part of their former life, not their current one. They no longer identify as someone who smokes.”

“Money is the most important good in any developed economy because it acts as the foundation for all trade and savings. Gold, the ancient and venerable precious metal, had served this role for millennia, but its physicality was an Achilles’ heel that made it vulnerable to centralization, confiscation, and state attack. Gold’s status as global money was eventually repealed during the twentieth century as the state came to dominate the issuance and management of money.”

“Part of the point of spiritual formation is training our eyes to see and our ears to hear God in the world, and learning to sing along with creation. That requires changing our tune. We can’t join in God’s symphony if we’re singing our own songs. To hear his song, we must begin with silence and tune our hearts to the notes. As we do, we find ourselves increasingly aligning with the work of God.”

“This was a religious problem, my father felt; people can want to be deceived. Do not deceive, the Kotzker rebbe insisted, and that also means do not deceive oneself by being gullible.”

“How I thank God, then, that from the start He has given me a loving wife to be my best friend of all. She is (as the poem at the end of the book suggests) my monastery. For having set out in the Christian life to become a monk, I found myself instead falling in love with a woman. At first I worried intensely that I’d made a huge mistake, fallen prey to a terrible temptation. But what a surprise it was to discover, over the years, that as a married man (and a father too) I have become more and more a true monk than I ever could have been within the walls of a monastery. How is this? It’s because love, true love, sets people free to be whoever they are.”
