Great quote from Max’s new book, about the “Who am I? and what am I hear for? kind of questions.
“The question is not a new one. Self-help gurus, talkshow hosts, and magazine headlines urge you to find your narrative. But they send you in the wrong direction. “Look inside yourself,” they say. But the promise of self-discovery falls short. Can you find the plot of a book in one paragraph or hear the flow of a symphony in one measure? Can you uncover the plot of your life by examining your life? By no means. You are so much more than a few days between the womb and the tomb.
