Six pillars


A pillar is a drawer, not a syllabus. A deep read lives in one pillar. A path may cross several.

  1. Self-knowledgeHow you see yourself, and where that picture came from.
  2. Relationships and intimacyWhat counts as a boundary, and what counts as closeness.
  3. Work, money, and makingEarning a living, money, and the thing you actually want to make.
  4. Body and rhythmSleep, the body, and the shape of a day.
  5. Decisions and uncertaintyHow to finish a decision when the information will never be complete.
  6. Death, meaning, and timeWhat is still worth keeping when time is finite.
