Chapter XXVIII
For: Lack of commitment and halfway zeal
This chapter helps you find clarity and purpose by urging you to carefully weigh the costs of your ambitions before diving in half-heartedly. It guides you toward true self-discipline so you can stop mimicking others and finally commit to a single, meaningful path.
“You must be one man, either good or bad. You must cultivate either your own reason or else externals; apply yourself either to things within or without you—that is, be either a philosopher or one of the mob.”
