I love Kevin Kelly, but I really wished he would have done more with his recent book "Excellent Advice For Living" which is essentially a similar list of extremely brief "advices". They are all excellent, but it's an overwhelming list of nuggets of wisdom without any context or stories or anything else for the mind to process. So I end up going from point to point and quickly burn out on what quickly becomes a shopping list of unrelated wisdom points.
If this had just been a calendar of a point of wisdom per day that you can ponder, that would have been much better. Or better yet, a book with short chapters that elaborate on each point with a story so that your mind has the time and context to absorb it.
Hopefully he does that at some point, because there are a lot of gems here which are underserved in the no-context list format.

Well, that one doesn't survive Kant's golden rule.
