Japanese Koan: Being Provoked into Thinking. (Intro)

Mentions: Victor Hugo, Virginia Woolf, J. W. von Goethe, Oliver Burkeman, and Japanese Koan.

Hello friends!

Over the past 15 years I’ve documented every book that I’ve ever read in my journal or commonplace book.

The result is that as of June 2023, I’ve about 30 Moleskine notebooks full of ideas, quotes and passages written by some of the greatest minds that ever lived.

From the mind-blowing ideas of Nietzsche and the beautiful language of Vladimir Nabokov’s stories to the sublime labyrinths of mind of Jorge Luis Borges. The problem with this cabinet of curiosities of mine is that it sits and waits on my bookshelves for someone to come, read and rediscover them again.

Treat this podcast as a shared weekly diary where we explore beautiful, timeless ideas from books written by the greatest minds, thinkers, and humans who have ever lived.
