Perhaps I would make a distinction between celebrities and famous people. I do feel like the people who live in the glitz and glamour aren’t best to look up to. But people famous in their field - like David Attenborough who is a big role model really can be

good distinction...i would say i look up to:
Ryan Holiday (https://ryanholiday.net/)
Patrick Collison (https://patrickcollison.com/)
Patrick McKenzie (https://www.kalzumeus.com/)
Mark Manson (https://markmanson.net/)
Ben Thompson (https://stratechery.com/)
Visakan Veerasamy (https://x.com/visakanv)
Danielle Fong (https://x.com/DanielleFong)

aspiring polymath. working on /microsub; creator of @degentipbot.eth; producer/dj; host of /campfire 🎧 + /downshift ⚙️

very different reasons. Collison may be my standout (founder of Stripe, gigabrain, humble, hungry, makes me wanna be better every day)

Quite a few names I don’t recognise 
Will have a look 

Do you recommend them all equally or is there a standout

the obstacle is the way changed my life

i can see your point though, he’s really just serving up ancient wisdom to a modern audience. i appreciate him a lot for it though. he seems to try to live by the words he presents 🤌

i feel ryan holiday wrote one good book and copy pasted the rest 😁

I only know Mark Manson, a great writer

So many words used in his books though
