Episode notes

i blame you for the deep work h c that i'm recording from now, that i talk to my listeners a lot about. I actually just pulled it up cause someone emaled it to me. There's this quote from this texas author, larry king. He was saying that his dream was to have outdoors and cattle and land. And he says, "This will occur about one easy hour out of austin" All right, let's get into the reader's questions. Let's get some orion's wisdom here. How should we look at material possessions in the framework of deep work? So what's yourph spheri, and what is the stuff in your house...

In this episode of Deep Questions we try something a little different: our first guest!

Bestselling author Ryan Holiday joins me to help answer reader questions, as well as more than a few queries from me. We cover a variety of topics, including his life as a writer living on a ranch, how he fosters discipline, the impact of our diminishing reading culture, and why everyone keeps trying to get me to move to Austin.
