At 33, I stumbled upon philosophy. This time it was Jiddu Krishnamurti, thanks to Twitter and one of the tweets of Naval Ravikant mentioning his name.
Over the years I have realized that most of the modern day self help books and motivational content are nothing but recycled philosophy.
With time, my interest in reading philosophy increased. I read a good number of philosophers ranging from different schools of Philosophy.
I have realized that I relate the most with the discourses of Socrates, Diogenes and Epictetus.
Reading philosophy keeps me sane.
I am hopeful that before I die, I will have some smaller notes published covering the teachings of them. A small note that I can carry in my mobile and look at instead of checking email or wasting time.
Socrates said: “I know that I know nothing”, I am in the same zone. The quest of self knowledge is a work in progress.
