Simplicity and focus and a quiet mind should lead to clearer thinking.
I want to shoot for:
Less TV.
Less social media.
Less phones.
Less stuff.
More books.
More walks.
More travel.
More quiet.
And let’s quit feeling like we don’t have the ability to change it.
Here is to cultivating a quieter life.
A life with purpose.
If you get only one thing out of this book, it should be this: the most powerful mind is the quiet mind. It is the mind that is present, reflective, mindful of its thoughts and its state. It doesn’t often multitask, and when it does, it does so with a purpose.
-Maria Konnikova, Mastermind
