Hey friends - today we're looking at Bertrand Russell, a profoundly influential and prolific British philosopher. He was also someone who exhibited many quiet habits and behaviours, of which I've become fascinated in over the past couple of months.

We explore his life, and draw out insights that will hopefully help you to live a more influential and exciting, yet quiet life.

Resources mentioned:

1. Deep Work. Cal Newport
2. The Spirit of Solitude: Bertrand Russell, Ray Monk
3. A History of Western Philosophy, Unpopular Essays, The Conquest of Happiness (Bertrand Russell)

I've also been working on a new weekly-ish newsletter which you can find here:
