Hey Goodreads, it’s me again… I’m back, tax season is done, and as always, God is so Good.

Aristotle out of context: to life a good life one must live in a society and be civilized. Take that homesteaders who want to live off the grid 😤

“Persons who aim their own lives in the right direction cannot help benefiting others and the society in which they live.

OHHHH we’ve hit moral virtue, this is so exciting!

On needs and wants, and how Aristotle says all humans desire the same good life in that it is a plan that involves us seeking and acquiring all things that are REALLY good for us to have. The presence of apparent goods is why the same right plan for life looks different to people living the same objective good life of acquiring natural good that are inherent to all. Interesting and challenging thoughts.

I generally dislike self-improvement and/or books on work culture/efficiency. But I’ve heard good things about Cal Newport and this book is about how modern knowledge work efficiency is broken and stupid. So I thought might as well hear him out!
