This piece was just awesome! It was faster readable I think because of the dialogue and just read it in one breath

Nick, I loved the dialogue format of this article - transported me back to GSB show days. But also the wisdom within - this just the reminder I needed this week. Funnily enough I just read Untethered Soul last week ✨ If you liked that, I’d also recommend his more recent The Surrender Experiment - it’s provocative xx

Brilliant. Platonic dialogue + stoic principles applied to how to practically think about your career.

Loved it, thanks! It made a lot of sense to learn to be happy regardless of the job.

I’d also stretch it to your personal life because at the end of the day we are the same person at work and at home, it’s really difficult to be happy in one but not in the other.

It's definitely a sentiment that I've found valuable outside of the domain of work.

Wow, this one really got me for the place I am at right now. I was extremely distrustful of this coach character but by the end like the client I warmed up to his message.
