Think Like a Director: Escaping the Anechoic Hell Chamber

by Maxmillian Michieli

The great lie of the modern workplace is that your work gives you value. You actually believe that if you produce enough, you will matter. You treat work as if it bestows dignity upon you. This is a lie. It’s the lie of the Anechoic Hell Chamber™, which is the isolation of your own heartbeat, set on repeat, and amplified. When you believe everything must be earned, you drown out a true, good, and beautiful existence. You place yourself first to the exclusion of communion and freedom. That’s what Hell is. You and only you. Think Like a Director™ exists to set you free from the Hell you have been consuming. I am giving away the Think Like a Director Field Manual for free: each of the first sixteen episodes is a chapter. I guess they call it a “podiobook.” I just call it your ticket to freedom. Have a listen. Then give it to your coworkers, your boss, your friends, whoever needs to hear it. You can also check out the website at thinklikeadirecto
