The Pursuit of Noiselessness
Monday Memo for August 21, 2023
“To try to become happy is to try to build a machine with no other specifications than it shall run noiselessly.’”
-J. Robert Oppenheimer
Happy Monday, folks.
First, I want to thank my big sister, Beth, for becoming a paid subscriber, at the Founder’s level, yesterday. I love you, Beth. Thank you for being the opposite of what I described in the story I published Saturday.
I’ve been especially busy the past week or two. I’m working with new clients and building a new website. This week promises to be every bit as busy.
Tomorrow, my friend, the grief therapist Gina Moffa publishes her first book, Moving On Doesn’t Mean Letting Go. I’m sure it is the first of many. Please check it out.
Speaking of Gina, last week I interviewed her neighbor, the author and choreographer Amy Jordan, for an upcoming episode of The Path to Authenticity. Paid subscribers can listen to the unedited interview on episode 39 of The Podcast.
