It is surely very narrow policy that supposes money to be the chief good.

— Samuel Johnson

LEADERSHIP

WHAT THIS MEANS

Money is genuinely useful, and treating it as the point of everything narrows a life in ways hard to see from inside. Once it becomes the measure, every hour gets priced, every relationship acquires an angle, and things with no price quietly stop counting. The error is not wanting it, but letting it be the only unit you have. A narrow policy still works, which is why it lasts so long.

Name two things you value that money cannot buy and check what portion of your week they get. If the answer is almost none, move one hour this week, a small enough change to actually make.
