The thing is, it can be both stress and revelation depending on how you look at it. Part of 4000 weeks is a chapter that is called "Cosmic insignificance therapy" which goes along the lines of nothing we do really matters in a grand scheme of things.
Again, depending on how you see it - it can be both shackling but also liberating.
The both of extremes of:
- I want to put my head in the sand and ignore the reality (we are mortal)
- YOLO
are not exactly ideal. As you said yourself => balance.
- twelve40 4y agonow I really don't want to read it, sounds pretty depressing : (
- kirso 4y agoThat's the point :) It is not. We are mortal, that's just a fact of life. I do agree with the comment OP though that both: - Maximising every day is bad - Ignoring life is bad In the end its all about balance and content as the top voted comment goes. I would still recommend the book to everyone! EDIT: Also as one of the comments notes here: "If you don't feel some existential dread at some point it's because you aren't being honest with yourself"
