Besides just being fun as a post this was a useful exercise to experience your article. The anti-stance definitely makes each non-recommendation stick with more staying power in my attention vs the zillions of year-end book lists that are streaming into all of our feeds right now. Thanks for committing to the approach. I'm going to make use of this somehow.
I've become fascinated with this inverse approach. I'm sure you could put together an amazing collection of advice for "How to be a terrible public speaker".
ha ha, yes, I've actually done one of these but never published it because it too closely describes daily occurrences for corporate events and just sounds judgmental. but I'm sure I could get it to work if I took out the tone. thanks for the reminder that I have this in the archives
Seneca? So first century AD. His "timeless" wisdom is so antiquated. He and Marcus Aurelius have NOTHING to impart us moderns. Well done and quite funny, Arman.
Love your guts! In this country, It’s so hard to find straight sincere talk and opinion without superficial sugar coating everything to not offend anyone... 👍👏👏👏

I appreciate that. Unfortunately I dont think its just this country but the entire world.
Nice. Oh, Ryan Holiday wants a word...
Haha I considered adding one of his to the list but it just missed the cut. Perhaps he'll make an appearance on the 2024 edition?
Haha that was my hope all along. I think youd love Sum based on the type of writing you write :)
Check it out and let me know what you think.
