One of the great wisdom thinkers of our time. Part of what I like to do is introduce people to resources they may not be fully familiar with. This is what my coaches and spiritual directors have done in my life over the last 6 years or so. Jacob is one such person I have been introduced to. If watching this vimeo piece will get you to engage the idea in it or pick up one of his books this might be the most important blog post you read in 2010. Honest…he is that important and that wise. If you are going to get one of his books get this one Time and Soul. It isn’t the Stephen Covey take on time, it isn’t a time managment book, it is the practical philosophers take on time, bringing ancient insights to bear. So rich and good.

wow. I’m just a few minutes in but this is rich Ron, thanks. A needed voice in the whole pragmatics of time management.
Thank you so much for this, Ron. My soul is reverberating with the truth spoken here. Who knew it’d take a philosopher to help me lose the guilt over not wanting to read magazines at the dentist’s office? All my life I’ve been content to sit and wonder. I wept when he encouraged it. My instincts are affirmed. Now, about those friends…
