Book cover for A Life in Parts
I will pursue something that I love—and hopefully become good at it, instead of pursuing something that I’m good at—but don’t love.

Tara Westover
“He said positive liberty is self-mastery—the rule of the self, by the self. To have positive liberty, he explained, is to take control of one’s own mind; to be liberated from irrational fears and beliefs, from addictions, superstitions and all other forms of self-coercion.”
Tara Westover, Educated

Matt Haig
“Tolstoy wrote, back in 1894, in The Kingdom of God Is Within You: The more men are freed from privation; the more telegraphs, telephones, books, papers, and journals there are; the more means there will be of diffusing inconsistent lies and hypocrisies, and the more disunited and consequently miserable will men become, which indeed is what we see actually taking place.”
Matt Haig, Notes on a Nervous Planet

Jeremy Dronfield
“The playwright Carl Zuckmayer wrote that ‘The netherworld had opened its portals and spewed out its basest, most horrid, and filthiest spirits … What was being unleashed here was the revolt of envy; malevolence; bitterness; blind, vicious vengefulness.’15 A British journalist who witnessed it called the procession ‘an indescribable witches’ sabbath’.16”
Jeremy Dronfield, The Boy Who Followed His Father into Auschwitz

Bryan Cranston
“And a shift in perspective can change a life. Hope can create possibility. Options are always available to us if we stand back and look at things differently.”
Bryan Cranston, A Life in Parts

Matt Haig
“The thing with mental turmoil is that so many things that make you feel better in the short term make you feel worse in the long term. You distract yourself, when what you really need is to know yourself.”
Matt Haig, Notes on a Nervous Planet
