It’s a little eerie how relevant this is to where I am at present. Knowing just enough to understand how little I know is a little overwhelming. I’m unsure how to take the next steps in my journey.
Your advice is in line with the recommendations I’ve sought from friends (for the most part) and how I personally have felt I should approach learning more. Slow accumulation. Persistence and thoughtfulness.
What I find particularly helpful though is providing options for where to start depending on where you’re at in life. Philosophy that connects to our current questions or needs is all the more powerful and pertinent.
This is a great follow on from part one. Thank you so much for the book recommendations. I’m in all of the amount of reading and research you must do. Thank you.
It's funny I sub-consciously have always been attracted to philosophy. In my early 20's I would attend School of Life sessions, I have always questioned things and been very head strong in my values. This piece just made me realise how much I have been weaving philosophy into my life and how much more I want to learn.

I think I’ll start there.
