I’ve realized that many people don’t actually love reading books. They love the identity of being someone who reads books. The aesthetic of it. The photos. The intellectual vibe. But the quiet discipline of reading slowly and thinking deeply? That part is very unpopular.
Studying yourself is one of the most life-changing decisions you can make. When you learn why you react the way you do, what you're protecting, what you're repeating, you stop living on autopilot. Self-awareness becomes freedom.
