Essential Life Skills
Face the Essential Truths through Proverbs
Theme-by-theme chapter breakdowns of the essential life skills in this classic work. 6 deep dives tracing how King Solomon (attributed)'s story teaches skills you can use today.
The Pitch Is Not Friendship
Sit with the gang in chapter 1, then the twilight house in 5 and 7, and hear Folly's doorway pitch before you call it belonging.
Hold the Sentence
Watch a soft answer turn away wrath, then a fool tell his whole mind, and hold the sentence until it is worth saying.
Riches Grow Wings
Hear the borrower become a servant, refuse surety that puts you in another man's power, and gather wealth little by little.
The Wound That Helps
Take the wound of a friend over the oil of an enemy, and treat the scorner who hates reproof as a warning, not a personality.
Proximity Is Training
Walk with the wise, leave the angry man, and let iron sharpen iron instead of letting bad company finish the work.
Ordinary Hours Build You
Go to the ant, then to the woman of chapter 31, and treat ordinary hours as the only place character is actually built.
