Before You Begin Reading

In a world full of constant distractions, real focus is rare. You can’t take in deep truths while skimming and scrolling through Instagram. If you’re serious about finding wisdom, you need to go deep inside yourself, and that means turning off everything around you. Nothing terrible will happen if you switch it all off for an hour or two.

Most of what you read on the Internet looks like this. It’s written to reach as many people as possible. What we end up with is a crowded space full of shallow nothing that does nothing for our well-being.

You can’t think deeply about anything that looks like the example above. As Shakespeare put it, it’s “full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.” Space matters. Simplicity and quiet lead to insight.

I’ve spent most of my life searching for the truth. As you can imagine, that’s worth more than I can say. I could easily have made money from this website and let advertisers bombard you while you read. But I chose not to. Be grateful that I did.

Wisdom and truth can only sink in when they’re presented simply. Like an iceberg, the words point to what lies beneath the surface.
