Ryan Holiday on the art of perception and self-reflection
Briefly

"I've always hated the question, 'What do you do?' This aversion stems from my career transitions and a deeper philosophy about the danger of overly identifying with our professional roles."
"I'm much less interested in being seen as a writer, and I'm much more interested in writing. If you're like, 'I write Westerns,' what if you don't like Westerns anymore?"
"It's not awesome that this happened, but a lot of times it's just not being destroyed by it. The blessing is what you take out of going through some shit and not being destroyed by it."
