Hermann Hesse on Breaking the Trance of Busyness — by Maria Popova

[Welles]

I would simply like to reclaim an old and, alas, quite unfashionable private formula: Moderate enjoyment is double enjoyment. And: Do not overlook the little joys!

- Hermann Hesse -

This article contemplates busyness from primarily the perspective of Herman Hesse but references to other notable thinkers are included.

Welles!

I just told my girlfriend I fell in love with a man named Hermann Hesse.

Wow. This was one of the most amazing pieces, and I had the privilege of reading it out loud and sharing it with others.

Thank you dearly for making our day!

You are always sharing beautiful gems. I want to share another quote from this article here, but I won't ruin surprise for everyone...

I just love how it is relayed that it isn't always "the great ones"(referencing moments of joy) that make nourish our spiritual wealth.

Man. This is my all time favorite!

Yay!
