“Would you have a great empire? Rule over yourself.” — PUBLILIUS SYRUS

The last two weeks [May 2014] have been disaster after disaster for me:

A dear friend died unexpectedly, only miles from my home. (RIP, Seth Roberts)

A seven-figure business deal fell apart at the last minute.

Only days ago, Turner Broadcasting let me know that the May 27th digital launch of The Tim Ferriss Experiment has been canceled. Some (not all) of the higher-ups want to try selling it to traditional outlets.

Over the last 14 days, I have carried one book in my backpack to cope, all day and every day: The Obstacle Is The Way.
