I come over here and read your brilliant, thought-provoking entries and then I go back to my own blog and post about how much chicken coss and my new water glass. There is a disparity here that I prefer not to dwell on too much... I'm going to recommend "The Second Sex" by Simone de Beauvoir - among other things, she perfectly details the condition of being Object instead of Subject. It was a groundbreaking book, and it's tragic that it's still so relevant, 60+ (70? 80?) years after it was written. Awesome post!

I'm going to have to quit reading Act Boldly or I'll run out of money for food. The Epstein book has gone on my seemingly neverending List of Books to Order, Read and Study. I think the Spousal Equivalent, who is a psychiatrist, will appreciate the philosophy behind his thoughts, as well. I appreciate your expanded definition of 'personal power,' and, as always, your push to think and act boldly. Damn. I’m going to have to quit reading Act Boldly or I’ll run out of money for food.
