They just don’t care that much. This is both a little ... See more
It is you against yourself
Each of us carries the weight of histories, the brilliance of stars, and the mysteries of the universe within our very essence. Think of the vastness of the cosmos, its infinite wonders, and complexities. Now realize that same boundless energy is mirrored within you. Your passions, dreams, fears, and hopes are as expansive and deep as the galaxies that twinkle in the night sky. By embracing this cosmic connection, you're not only acknowledging your importance in the grand tapestry of existence but also unlocking the boundless potential that lies within. The universe isn't just around you; it's within you. Every choice, every emotion, every dream is a testament to that cosmic legacy. 2 days left to enroll in the Transformational Human Design Reader Certification.

The idea of research as leisure activity has stayed with me because it seems to describe a kind of intellectual inquiry that comes from idiosyncratic passion and interest. It’s not about the formal credentials. It’s fundamentally about play.
What we can offer after we leave our full-time, big-time jobs is actually a lot, as I found in my chat with our friend @kate_wolfson, a brand strategist and consultant, who’s now freelance after her tenure at Goop. Her advice is practical in the best ways, right down to the book rec that’ll keep creative minds sharp and inspired, and a lesson that’s universal and essential in work and in life.

Creating high density of not only people, but ideas and energy = serendipity and aliveness. Lewis Mumford writes that the primary purpose of the city is “to permit—indeed, to encourage—the greatest possible number of meetings, encounters, challenges, between varied persons and groups, providing as it were a stage upon which the drama of social life...

The retreat functions like a sleepaway camp for great writers, its ritual group meals and hoursl... See more

Learning how to think really means learning how to exercise some control over how and what you think. It means being conscious and aware enough to choose what you pay attention to and to choose how you construct meaning from experience.
