The Daily Stoic

He wrote obviously a book that did very well, be here now.

But he's not like, he didn't like splash across the world. He's not Tony Robbins.

he really, he really found like the deepest piece, the deepest stillness, you know, and like the deepest joy.

And it may be, like it could have been that there was a conscious choice that he made at some point where it was like, he writes B here now and then he, for his next book, he could do X.

One of which is Lincoln's Melon Colley, which is a book I carry at the painted porch. Which if you haven't read, it's one of my favorite biographies of Lincoln and I think is a wonderful companion to Bittersweet.

Leonard is an American theoretical physicist and mathematician but like Feynman man who wears many hats he's also a screenwriter and an author he wrote this book the drunkards walk

Recently I was trying to fix that and I went and I wanted to read some biographies of Feynman I struggle like I bought a couple and I read the beginnings and I got bored and then I found this book Feynman's Rainbow by Leonard Millendo and I just love it's a short little book it's about Leonard's time at Caltech he has the office next to Feynman he's trying to find out if he loves physics or doesn't what research he should do.

And it's kind of this beautiful little memoir that's also a biography of Feynman and a bunch of other great physicist by just loved it's one of the we just started carrying at the pain of porch I liked it so much.

And it's just it's really interesting and again I give it a lot of credit that I found it and she's given that I don't know or care that much about physics but Leonard is an American theoretical physicist and mathematician but like Feynman man who wears many hats he's also a screenwriter and an author

He's a guy who...saved a woman's life...He runs for political office...when shit got real when a line was crossed he put his job on the line to do what he thought was right and it did it cost him his job it cost him it cost him relationships cost him friends it threatened his safety...

What I respect here why I wanted to talk to today's guest is that when shit got real when a line was crossed he put his job on the line to do what he thought was right

and so I was really excited to have Adam Kinziger on the podcast...and the author of a book Renegade defending democracy and liberty in our divided country is out as of Halloween

He's writing a new book called How to Get Addicted to Appreciation, which is a lovely title that'll come out next year.

Have you by the way ever read Gore Vidal's book on Aaron Burr?

That's another great book. Vidal was a, you know, brilliant--for all his other complications, he was a great scholar and he wrote a beautiful book on Aaron Burr and also on who was the first Christian emperor.

And he has a book called Tyrant, which I love. But I was thinking a common theme between this movie and then of course Apocalypse Now, but is also the theme of Shakespeare, is the ability to find old stories and then place them in a new context, but use the arcs and the characters and the morals.

And he has a book called Tyrant, which I love.

Goethe wrote a book called, what the hell was that called? Wilhelm Meister. And that was him stealing from Shakespeare.
