My job is usually to deconstruct world-class performers and tease
out their routines and habits you can use. But in this
in-betweenisode, I'm going to present some short nuggets of
practical, tactical philosophy about practicing what you preach.
This is a letter from Stoic heavyweight Seneca the Younger -- who
lived a mere 2,000 years or so ago -- to his friend Lucilius.
It's from a collection of letters that comprise, effectively, my
favorite book of all time. I've read it dozens of times, and I
loved it so much that I turned it into The Tao of Seneca, a
three-volume set of audiobooks. This is a letter you've not heard
on the podcast before; it's worth the listen just for the
definition of wisdom, alone. Then you have some incredible quotes
from Epicurus, and it also discusses how you can have riches
without riches having you. Enjoy! Show notes and links for this
episode can be found at www.fourhourworkweek.com/podcast. This
episode is brought to you by Headspace, the world's most popular
meditation app (with more than 4,000,000 users). It's used in
more than 150 countries, and many of my closest friends swear by
it. Try Headspace's free Take10 program, 10 minutes of
guided meditation a day for 10 days. It's like a warm bath for
your mind. Meditation doesnít need to be complicated or
expensive, and it's had a huge impact on my life. Try Headspace
for free for a few days and see what I mean. This podcast is also
brought to you by 99Designs, the world's largest marketplace of
graphic designers. I have used them for years to create some
amazing designs. When your business needs a logo, website design,
business card, or anything you can imagine, check out 99Designs.
I used them to rapid prototype the cover for The 4-Hour Body, and
I've also had them help with display advertising and
illustrations. If you want a more personalized approach, I
recommend their 1-on-1 service. You get original designs from
designers around the world. The best part? You provide your
