Wow, cool.
The past few years I have been slowly working my way towards unwinding my business commitments so I have time to take on some creative projects. Exploring the concept of enantiodromia in a digestible short format as a guide to helping set/keep one's life on the right trajectory could be a revelation. I don't know, there may be many such efforts already in the marketplace of books and other publications.
When I say short I am thinking of an analogous book that consists of only 5000 Chinese characters that divides itself into 87 micro "chapters". The DAO DE CHING--the 2400 year old self-help masterpiece is so short the average amount of time to read it cover to cover is estimated to be only 35 minutes! Perhaps a half hour to read it--but a lifetime to digest and understand and learn how to use it.
When I can break out some time it would be a blast to chat with you about it and explore if there is a commercial vehicle that could be developed that fills a massive gap in the market. That would be such a fun project to collaborate on!
When I was falling asleep last night I thought of two things that might be good when it's time to dive into the fascinating concept of enantiodromia:
1. To start learning everything possible about the subject, beginning with a search for whether there is a TED TALK on it. Those are often brilliant short studies on subject by people who have long thought about and/or engaged their subjects in the real world.
2. Then I wondered what a TED TALK would look like if I tried to deliver it on the subject. I immediately got a funny but maybe memorable idea to give enantiodromia a nickname or shorter way to refer to it--and that's when the word "EOS" hit me. The E (obviously) is for enantiodromia. But I'll save the rest of it for another time and thread or discussion. But it's both memorable and (I think) very funny in an illustrative way.
I was about to end this post but got very curious if there actually was a TED TALK on the subject. And behold! I found one 5 seconds ago!
I just now (this moment) started listening to it with great interest and about 7 minutes into it, guess what the dude started talking about?
The DAO DE CHING (see above).
Weird, wacky, wonderful. Pure coincidence? LOL.
Here's the link to the Ted Talk if anyone is interested.

warning--slight (but perhaps pleasant) derail...
.If you ever want to collaborate on this project - brother - count me in.
