I'm inclined to agree with you, but perhaps I am merely happy to find a reason that validates the fact that I don't want to run (but I do want to want it). Some well meaning people tried to get me to read Murakami's book once, in order to get me back to work. I didn't read it for the same reason many people don't read stop-smoking books: I didn't want it to work on me.
How many more activities are there going to be 'required' of us to stay sane and fit for work? Casey Means, the incoming surgeon general, says that practicing 'Good Energy' habits are an act of rebellion. Typically, rebels--though they may be surgeons--are not promoted to General.
Her proposed way to live well is via implementing her 118-point checklist. Patrick Bateman's was shorter.
Appreciate your addition to the conversation, Kit. I also get you, is a near impossible challenge to try and decide what you actually agree with vs what is just confirmation bias!
Not heard of the 118 point checklist, but it does seem to personify the point. What actions are we taking that are truly in our own interest, vs what is being prescribed to us by society in order to live in this very narrow capitalistic world.
Thanks again and for taking the time to read my article
