  • Learn to Journal Like Ralph Waldo Emerson | EP113
    In this episode, I close out my series on Emerson’s journals by looking at what his essay Self-Reliance can teach us about keeping a thoughtful record of our lives. I also share a book recommendation—Agnes Callard’s Open Socrates: The Case for a Philosophical Life—and give a quick update on my bookstore and the growing Edgewater community.👋📚 Join our book club at https://thereadwellpodcast.com/book-club/Send Me a Text Message with Your QuestionsIMPORTANT LINKS: 👋📚Help us open the bookstore by donating a few bucks at: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/edgewaterbookstore/join-me-in-making-edgewater-bookstore-a-real-location

  • Was John Locke's Method of Journaling a Good Idea? | EP112
    In this episode I explain how John Locke created a system for indexing journals that looks clever at first but quickly becomes a burden. I also share why Ralph Waldo Emerson abandoned the method and point you to his essay Self-Reliance. The larger point is simple: if a journaling system is too complicated, you won’t use it.Send Me a Text Message with Your QuestionsIMPORTANT LINKS: 👋📚Help us open the bookstore by donating a few bucks at: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/edgewaterbookstore/join-me-in-making-edgewater-bookstore-a-real-location

  • Stay in Constant Contact with Your Journals | EP111
    Ralph Waldo Emerson didn’t just write in his journals—he returned to them again and again. In this episode, I’ll share how that practice helped him refine his thinking and why it can help us too. I’ll also recommend a short book on ethics that makes philosophy clear and useful, and give you a quick update on the progress of Edgewater Bookstore.Send Me a Text Message with Your QuestionsIMPORTANT LINKS: 👋📚Help us open the bookstore by donating a few bucks at: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/edgewaterbookstore/join-me-in-making-edgewater-bookstore-a-real-location

  • A Journal is a Savings Bank of Ideas | EP110
    In this episode, I begin a six-part series on Ralph Waldo Emerson’s journaling habits. Emerson didn’t see his journals as a place to record daily events—he saw them as a savings bank for ideas. I’ll explain what that means and why changing how you view your journal is the first step toward making it a tool for thinking. I’ll also share a book recommendation that can help you choose the right kind of notebook for this practice.🔥Want to help open the bookstore?  Here's the link for our Kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/edgewaterbookstore/join-me-in-making-edgewater-bookstore-a-real-locationSend Me a Text Message with Your QuestionsIMPORTANT LINKS: 👋📚Help us open the bookstore by donating a few bucks at: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/edgewaterbookstore/join-me-in-making-edgewater-bookstore-a-real-location

  • Why Bookstores Matter in a Digital World | EP 109
    What makes a bookstore more than four walls and shelves of paper? In this episode, I read a short essay about how bookstores can help us rediscover ourselves. I’ll also share a powerful book recommendation—The Best Poems of the English Language, edited by Harold Bloom—and tell you about my Kickstarter campaign to launch Edgewater Bookstore. If you’ve ever wandered the aisles of a local bookstore and felt like you were finding a lost part of yourself, this episode is for you.🦸🏻‍♀️ Be a bookstore hero. I'm trying to open a bookstore in Utah and would very much appreciate a small donation - even $5 - to help our Kickstarter succeed:👋DONATE HERE: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/edgewaterbookstore/join-me-in-making-edgewater-bookstore-a-real-location Send Me a Text Message with Your QuestionsIMPORTANT LINKS: 👋📚Help us open the bookstore by donating a few bucks at: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/edgewaterbookstore/join-me-in-making-edgewater-bookstore-a-real-location
