Episode notes
Timelessness in storytelling serves as a pivotal goal, emphasizing the need to connect readers to universal human experiences through narrative. Utilizing stories at the beginning of chapters enhances this timelessness, enabling readers to transcend the contemporary world and engage with a broader historical context. The focus is not only on content but also on style; avoiding colloquialisms ensures that writing retains clarity and resonance across generations. The aspiration is for future readers to find the writing as accessible and relevant as those from centuries past, akin to the works of Machiavelli, which maintain an enduring quality and modern resonance despite their age. This approach prioritizes substance over trends, with an objective to create literature that withstands the test of time.
