We live in an age that worships ideas.
More posts, more content, always something new to say, some fresh angle to find. The problem is, when the expectation to ‘be original’ never stops, the result isn’t useful or brilliant. It’s noise hurled into an endless echo chamber.
If you’re a coach or consultant, you’ve probably felt it…that strange paralysis that comes from knowing too much. You help others find clarity every day, yet your own message feels tangled. For founders and marketers, it’s the same: endless brainstorms and the constant feeling that the next great idea is just out of reach.
We rush to fill the space where ideas grow with everything but thought. Urgency. Comparison. The illusion of productivity. Self-doubt. We often fall into the trap of mistaking activity for clarity, and the harder we chase inspiration, the faster it seems to slip away.
That’s where the philosopher Montaigne offers something extraordinary.
In 16th-century France, Montaigne began writing short reflections on whatever came to mind: friendship, fear, ambition, death. Over time, these became his Essays, a form of writing so new, he had to invent a word for it.
Montaigne’s genius wasn’t in the conclusions he reached but in the way he explored. He treated ideas like an experiment by testing, circling and revisiting.
