Well, Day 2 turned out to be something of a failure. I woke up at 0630 according to the plan, but found it to be my first night in a month where I’d slept without any distractions. I confess my weakness. I shall start again tomorrow.
I just read Lying by Sam Harris. It’s a pretty straightforward treatise against lying, to include “white” lies. It’s not horribly informative, but it is highly thought provoking. I consider myself the most honest person I’ve ever known, but I will concede to my share of white lies. Honestly, while it seemed interesting, what sold me was a positive review by Neil deGrasse Tyson. I’m glad I took the review to heart. The book is well worth the $3 just to see the fallout that comes from the fact that I’m going to give absolute honesty a go for a month.
