We’ve both signed up for the 50 day challenge (warning, link automatically starts video) to read/discuss 2 “Philosopher’s Note” every day for 50 days.
They have you take a questionnaire at the beginning and again at the end. Based on the questions asked, I’m not expecting huge changes in the answers. My intuition is that the people signing up for the challenge are probably not the kind of people who would most benefit from this type of wisdom. I’m signing up because I noticed that after I watched Brian Johnson’s youtube video on How I’m Setting My Intention & Goals for 2010, I talked about it with people who seemed to listen to the message. It helped me and through me it helped others. That was a Good Thing.
And how is it going?
It’s been great! So far, we’ve done

They only do them on weekdays, so we have weekends off. I’ve gotten lots of wonderful quotes and saved a lot of money on books. Except for the ones on the list I already own. (Owning does not necessarily mean that the book has been read 😉
