Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Someday I will start. Someday I will have time. The Waiting Trap is about the life we keep postponing, and what Seneca thought of it two thousand years ago.Jeremiah Whitlock explores the man who had everything except the present, Seneca's letter to Paulinus, and the one thing you do not own: time. He shows why someday is not a plan, the difference between busy and living, and how Epictetus and Marcus Aurelius answer the habit of waiting for permission.Direct and encouraging, it ends with a simple question: what are you actually waiting for? For anyone ready to start today.Inside, you will find chapters such as: The Man Who Had Everything and Waited Anyway; The One Thing You Don't Guard; Epictetus and the Permission You're Waiting For; The Letter That Arrived Too Late; Starting Today, Literally Today.
