Free. 24h. Amazon Kindle. Great reads. – Nicholas Bate
I’m finally getting around to reading Meet Molly right now. Good so far.
My wife picked this up at a charity book sale today and I have… questions.
Review: The Boox Palma is the best purchase I’ve made in a long time – cliophate.wtf
It is, after all, just a phone-sized Kindle with access to an Android store that costs $299. What I didn’t expect is that this is precisely what makes it such a fantastic device. A few weeks in, it has become the device I use the most day by day—yes, even more than my phone.
A phone-shaped eBook reader is very compelling.
The Strother School of Radical Attention
Through creative projects, courses on the history, philosophy, and politics of attention, and experiential Attention Lab workshops, we fashion and collectively implement tools to reclaim radical attention, and thereby protect and cultivate the many goods of shared life that it creates.
A representative of this organization was invited to my daughter’s school by the parent association for a couple of workshops this week. Really interesting initiative.
Stash all your road trip or flight essentials while en route, then pack it up for daily adventures at your destination.
This bag is 50% off right now and it is amazing. This was my daily cary for our Tanzanian trip and somehow, despite it’s size, seemed to hold everything I threw at it. Passports, visas, water bottle, pens, paper, iPad mini, camera, sunglasses, chargers, cables, and on-and-on. Even a pacabke rain poncho. It also held everything my daughter threw at it.
I get no kickback from the link. I just love mine and think others will too.

The Reviews are in…
I’ve received a few wonderful short reviews of For You so far. I’ll update this post as I see more come in…
Patrick’s book is a remarkable collection of seemingly simple platitudes that pack a gut-punch of life-changing truth. I’ll do whatever I can to encourage Chloe and Candela to read it. (I’d assign it to my “First Year Experience” students but we don’t assign extra readings in that class; college freshmen are overwhelmed enough as it is.) To those of us a few decades older who need a verbal hug or a hand reaching down to pull you up from where you find yourself now… this is it. Buy it. The Kindle version is cheaper than a beer; you’ve got no excuse.

Patrick’s specificity on how to bring about life with our speech is more needed than ever in an age of misinformation, creation without citation, and when the false confidence of appearing to be right carries no shame when proven wrong. When advice is packaged in the way he has written this book, it has great potential for positive internal change and for the ripple effect that has within a community.
— Jacoby, A mini-review of For You by Patrick Rhone | xxxx
A beautiful collection of essays and wisdoms of a man whose writing has been a constant inspiration for me… This one stuck with me: “You are not a story. Stories are the things we tell by the things we say and do. You create the story.”
— Manuel forestweekender on Micro.blog
Such a great book and as the title suggests it really is For You, now granted Patrick wrote it for a very specific You in mind but the words and wisdom in this book can be shared and internally reflected on by anyone.
