Essentialism: A Hobbit Hole or Morning Glory?

Welcome Friday Philosophies where we delve into various mental models, examine our favorite frameworks, and reflect on the creative practices and rituals of creatives we admire.

This week, we're delving into the concept of Essentialism. Far from your standard self-help guide, it urges us to recognize the finite nature of our time on earth, and inspires us to spend it with integrity.

In this episode, we'll unpack the foundational principles of Essentialism, focusing on what it means to safeguard our most valuable asset — ourselves.

Key takeaways:

• Learn to identify the "leads" in our day-to-day lives as cues to cultivate an Essentialist lifestyle


• How to exercise your "no" muscle to commit firmly, resolutely, and respectfully to your most significant "Yes's"


• The concept behind, "you can do anything, but can't do everything, all at once"


• Why we challenge the status quo of the Non-Essentialist life, which spreads our efforts too thin


• How to trade popularity for respect for more fulfillment

Join us for this exploration into Essentialism, as we strive for a more focused, meaningful, and purposeful life.
