It's my own fault: my Twitter feed is overwhelmingly political, with a few musicians and other outliers thrown in here and there, and that means every time I look at it I'm confronted with horrors and outrages.
There is only so much I can do about this situation. I think if one reviews my various activities on my main website he would
have to say I've done pretty much everything a person with my skill set can possibly do.
So therefore, I should feel no qualms about having a great life, because if I did, I'd be letting the bad guys have yet another win.
My wife's Instagram feed is the opposite of my Twitter feed. It's all people she learns from, who are interesting to her, and who have something valuable to
say. The soul needs that more than it needs the 500th influencer decrying the latest outrage.
So yesterday I very deliberately unplugged, and my wife and I took sleeping little Henry Woods (who turns seven weeks old on Friday) out for a delicious fondue meal in neighboring Melbourne, Florida.
Before doing that I recorded a solo episode of the Tom Woods Show, to be released on
Friday, in which I pull some books off the shelf you see behind me and explain why they matter, and why you should read them.
And then before that I held the webinar I spent the past week urging you to attend.
That webinar, as you know if you were there, will do more to help people than anything any influencer is saying on Twitter.
We talked about how to take the
technology we have and untether ourselves so that instead of the technology ruling us, we build something that gives us our lives back while also paying the bills.
