In 1571, right on his 38th birthday, he walked into his office and permanently resigned from his position as a judge in the Bordeaux parliament. It was exactly the kind of role Renaissance men spent their whole lives networking, scheming, and stressing out to get. He quit, moved back to his family's estate in the French countryside, and set himself up in a stone tower on the property. He built a massive library there and had 54 quotes from ancient philosophers carved into the wooden beams of his ceiling. From that point on, he spent his time studying the only subject he actually wanted to understand: himself. He observed his own habits, flaws, and everyday routines, and wrote down his thoughts about them and he called these writings Essais—which comes from the French word meaning "to try" or "to attempt" and is of course where we get the English word ‘essay’.
