Length: 18 minutes 28 secondsSynopsis: My morning reading of Marcus Aurelius's Meditations, combined with my review of the Rambam's Hilchos Teshuvah and my reading of the most recent issue of The Imperfectionist (by Oliver Burkeman, author of my current favorite non-fiction book: Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals), led me to a more effective way to approach the Aseres Ymei Teshuvah than in years past.   Related Content: - Don't Believe in Yourself (given at Lomdeha)- Don't Believe in Yourself (article version)- Nitzavim: What Would Teshuvah Look Like If It Were Easy?Sources:- Marcus Aurelius, Meditations 5:11- Rambam: Mishneh Torah, Sefer ha'Mada, Hilchos Teshuvah 3:3-4- Oliver Burkeman, The Imperfectionist: Doing things is what counts (9/7/23)   - Avos 2:4-----The Torah Content for the month of Elul has been sponsored anonymously in loving memory of Henya bas Tzirel - a mother who cared deeply about her children's engagement with Judaism.-----If you've gained from what you've learned here, please consider contributing to my Patreon at www.patreon.com/rabbischneeweiss.
