There is a phrase that keeps coming up, or kept coming up in one chapter, in The Science of Getting Rich, by Wallace Wattles. That is “more life,” as in, people strive for “more life.” This is interesting, because Drake had an album (I think he called it a mixtape, and I think it was free, maybe . . . maybe not, but do get the version of So Far Gone that is free, because I think it just has more songs in general, anyway, including the Great “Say What’s Real”) called More Life, and when I heard of it and saw the album cover, which just looked like kind of a stuffy photo of a guy (I think it was Drake’s father?) who looked somewhat ostentatious but also somewhat not-really-that-spectacular, thus forming a sense of some arrogant jerk rather than someone truly exceptional, I thought the connotation of “More Life” sounded like someone saying, “Yep, just more of the same,” something that felt like running out of steam. However, the album is really good, and does not sound like that, and I think the sense, perhaps specifically, was more in the Wallace D. Wattles way, Instead.
Anyway, this is a highlight book (which is saying something) from the collection pulled out of a bookshelf and then read by someone or other on the Master Key Society YouTube channel. There is perhaps no better YouTube channel, or perhaps just no better book (than this one), in existence. In each video, a couple of hands pull another book off the shelf, and a voice proceeds to read it, while you get to see the pages. It is Exemplary.
