The Fallacy of "Stay Hungry"

March 30, 2020/ Gordon Corsetti
The Fallacy of "Stay Hungry"

I find it extraordinarily odd that it took me thirty one years to discover that I perform better when I pace my efforts while respecting my physical, mental, and emotional health.

Gordon Corsetti Mental Agility Foundation

Life on the 7th Shelf is my way of sharing how a person can live well with depression, anxiety, and suicidal ideation.

The 7th Shelf was written by Dante in The Inferno, as the Wood of the Suicides.

For me, living on the 7th shelf is challenging but I have found my means for winning the daily battle against the worst my mind can throw at me.
