This did not disappoint. Well made and well done. I’ve been trying to wrestle myself with modernity and distractions and figure out how to focus on what is important, or at least what I’ve come to consider is important, such as family, being closer to nature, creating new relationships and being positive in the hopes that I can help keep more positivity in the world and that might can help with all the negativity and neighbors hating neighbors. I sincerely appreciate this video, and I have now a few more books to read. Thank you.

Thank you Thomas! The struggle is real. No final answers to the question I guess except working to live wiser

Just now I snatched a free copy of "Walden" from Thriftbooks -- free because I'd apparently bought so many books so far this year that I was due a freebie but, stingily enough, only one not exceeding $5. Not nearly as cool as your old book, but still something. Will get "Civil Disobedience" next. I'm amassing anything and everything that could help me synthesize something solid, something not overly eclectic but not dogmatically tethered to Jung (as is too much my instinct), something that could serve as a love letter to this tragically beautiful spark at the end of the world, this true spirit of "Extinction Rebellion" -- The Vegan and Animal Rights Movement.

Solid perk of a good reading habit! I think you'll enjoy Walden there's so much love of nature and the environment in there and comes at truth such an immediate visceral angle. A good tonic to the more heady introspective Jung
