A: I wanted to create a daily companion that bridges the gap between complex philosophical traditions and our everyday lives. I have always believed in the ritual of reading one page a day: it is a small habit that yields massive results over time. This project was my way of gathering the thinkers who have shaped human history and distilling their wisdom into a format that helps readers approach their own choices, actions, and thoughts with greater clarity. Q: The book covers a vast timeline. How did you select the philosophers included? A: The book features over 130 figures, spanning Greek, Chinese, Indian, Medieval, all the way to Modern thought. The selection process was rigorous; I chose thinkers whose work has not only withstood the test of time but whose ideas remain urgently relevant to modern problems. Whether it is a Stoic reflection on control or a Taoist verse on flow, every entry was chosen because it could be introduced clearly and offer immediate value to the reader. Q: How is the book structured for the reader? A: Simplicity is key. Every day consists of a single page containing a core idea or lesson, or a point of reflection, from one major philosopher. The rhythm is steady by design. While you can certainly open the book to any random date for a quick dose of inspiration, following it chronologically creates a slow, year-long survey of the major themes of human existence. Q: Philosophy can be intimidating. What was your focus while writing? A: My primary focus was clarity, brevity, and consistency. Classic philosophical texts can be dense, so the challenge—and the joy—was making these deep ideas accessible without diluting their profundity. I aimed for a tone that is calm, direct, and inviting, leaving enough mental space for the reader to pause and think alongside the material. Q: Why did you choose a daily "page-a-day" format? A: I love books that become part of a daily routine. A single page is non-threatening; it is easy to return to even on a busy morning or evening. This format encourages steady, manageable reflection. Over the course of a year, that slow pace builds a surprisingly comprehensive worldview, allowing readers to see how different traditions approached the same fundamental questions about life. Q: What do you hope readers take away after 365 days? A: I hope they realize that the questions they wrestle with today, about anxiety, purpose, and happiness, are the same questions humanity has wrestled with for centuries. There is a great comfort in that shared history. I want readers to walk away with a sense of how much variety there is in the ways we can understand ourselves and the world around us.
