I think ImOpen is suggesting Steve to explore the important historical works of art and philosophy to gain a deeper insight into personal development.
I've thought the same thing, but at the same time I also realize that you can't have everything good at once. I believe Steve has legitimate personal reasons for exploring the topics and fields he writes about in his articles. He embraces the philosophy of productivity so I have no doubt he believes what he is doing now is the best use of his time.
I feel this is similar to what people use to tell me to do with regards to sarging. "Get a girlfriend!" "Find someone for a relationship!" "You're a great person, share your love with someone else!" The last one was a particularly deceptive one and it often made me do things I really didn't want to do (but hey it was good for going out of my comfort zone!).
But the bottom line is that people will tell you things that are good for you and they may be right. But there is a big difference between doing what's good for you and doing what's good for you BY CHOICE.  |
