Really enjoyed how you went down a writing path and added a few historical facts and issues along the way! I think capitalism combined with technology has led to a situation where we feel we need to quantify everything and anything like some sort of formula. It’s bizzare, but at least people like us are questioning it.

I interviewed a writer about her book on “vulture capitalism” for my Substack which explores some of the issues you pick up on, you might find it of interest ☺️

Really thought-provoking piece, especially around the societal perspective on indulgences. I definitely could do a better job of taking advantage of my moments of "what we will." And love the Patagonia pic!

Thanks, Sidd!! I was struggling to figure out what might be a good picture to capture the overall theme. I couldn’t help coming back to feeling as in touch with nature as we did in Patagonia.

Great piece! I'm reminded that my psychotherapist in Los Angeles told me: "You need to be more selfish."
