This could well become a worthwhile New Year's Eve resolution in six weeks' time: ask yourself the seemingly simple question of what you would do if money were no object because if you think that money is the most important thing, you’ll spend your life completely wasting your time.
Of course, most people never make enough money to be able to relax about it. They have families to support and their own lives. So they never have the option of cutting out and whatever they're doing becomes a habit.
Anyway, don't expect me to have the answer. Although I was lucky enough to enjoy what I was doing - "choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life" - I still wasted most of my life making money so that I can now contemplate such questions.
Instead, subscribe to www.brainpickings.org's newsletter which is full of meaningful, often timeless pieces spanning art, science, psychology, design, philosophy, history, politics, anthropology, and more.
It is compiled by a far-too-young-for-such-erudite-stuff Maria Popova who, as a one-woman-Reader's-Digest, reads hundreds of pieces of content a day and anywhere between 12-15 books per week.
I've been a subscriber for years, and my life has been richer for it. Meet you there!
