The Guide AI reading companion
A whole library. We’ll find a way in.
A little of what we can talk about
People are testing my patience. Where should I start?
Try Book Two of Meditations. Marcus opens by reminding himself that he’ll meet some very difficult people today. Quite a morning pep talk.
Then he gets to the useful part: we’re made to work together. Someone else’s behavior doesn’t have to choose yours. It’s a good page to read before opening your inbox.
“For we are made for co-operation, like feet, like hands, like eyelids, like the rows of the upper and lower teeth.”

Why do we still read these old books?
Because the problems have not changed. People have always worried, lost things and wanted to matter. These books worked on that first.
