I would say dedicating himself to something that balances out the strain of doing intellectual stuff

manual labor, subsistence farming, cooking, lutherie, sports...all seem activities that would benefit the life of an "intellectual"

Thank you for this! Would you mind recommending me musicians for the music that you listed?

What are your favorite classics and contemporary literature?

Where can I find exotic tea and fine coffee? Any recommendations in that regard?
