Mel’s Notes & Highlights

Book cover for The Art of Living a Meaningless Existence: Ideas from Philosophy That Change the Way You Think

The Art of Living a Meaningless Existence: Ideas from Philosophy That Change the Way You Think by Robert Pantano

It is the classic lesson: the Chinese finger trap, the Tao in Taoism, Nirvana in Buddhism, the silence of Wittgenstein; the harder one tries, the harder one flails, the more entrenched one becomes.
