The Examined Year: 365 Daily Reflections from Philosophy, Psychology, Literature, & History


Overview

THE UNEXAMINED LIFE IS NOT WORTH LIVING. Cut through the noise. Reclaim your focus. Build a mind that can weather any storm. We live in an age of information overload. We are constantly connected yet feel increasingly disconnected from ourselves. We scroll through endless content but starve for genuine meaning. The Examined Year offers a remedy. This is not just a book of quotes. It is a daily operating system for a clearer mind. Designed to be read in just two minutes a day, this collection brings together 3,000 years of human wisdom-from the Stoic halls of Rome to the tea ceremonies of Japan, and from the frontlines of history to the quiet desks of revolutionary poets. Inside, you will discover: 365 Daily Readings: A curated journey through history's greatest minds, including Marcus Aurelius, Virginia Woolf, Frederick Douglass, Lao Tzu, Seneca, Mother Jones, and Friedrich Nietzsche. A Global Perspective: Wisdom that transcends borders, blending Western philosophy (Stoicism, Existentialism) with Eastern insight (Taoism, Zen, Confucianism). Actionable Prompts: Each entry ends with a piercing question designed to spark self-inquiry and turn theory into practice. Structured Themes: Twelve monthly arcs that guide you through essential topics like Resilience, Identity, Power of Habit, Mortality, and Mindfulness. Why read this book? Most self-help books tell you what to think. The Examined Year challenges you to learn how to think. Whether you are a busy professional seeking focus, a student of philosophy, or simply someone looking for a quiet anchor in a chaotic world, this book provides the tools you need to build an ""Inner Citadel."" Don't just live this year. Examine it.
