About

“Perhaps that wasn’t true. Perhaps as you went along you did learn something. I did not care what it was all about. All I wanted to know was how to live in it. Maybe if you found out how to live in it you learned from that what it was all about.”

– Ernest Hemingway

Hello,

I’m Peter Cook, and while in reality this blog is a collection of somewhat random ideas I’ve had the poor taste to write about, if this site could aspire to a theme, it would be what I term “Escape Velocity”.

To understand what I mean by Escape Velocity, it’s useful to start with the definitions of two physics terms:

Inertia: a characteristic of an object that resists changes to its state of motion.

Escape Velocity: in physics (specifically, celestial mechanics), escape velocity is the minimum speed needed for a free object to escape from the gravitational influence of a massive body.

For me, Escape Velocity describes what’s required to transcend the inertia in our lives and achieve, different, better and sustainable outcomes:

Thus this blog, at times, seeks to explore the frameworks of thought, strategies, tactics and execution necessary to create new and better states of being and relating.

N.B. I am sensitive to the trust involved in adding your email address to a list. I won’t be spamming you or doing anything with your information other than updating you about blog posts and special content.
