This week, I’m inspired by a blog on unsung ways to change the world, thrilled with my overbuilt French press, and reflecting on some wisdom from Sun Tzu.

Aggregated wisdom from Maria Popova, Kurzgesagt (cars are much more dangerous than you might think!), and Peter Drucker.

This week highlights Lolita by Nabokov with its challenging yet poetic prose, a quote from My Octopus Teacher advocating immersion in nature, and a blog on the creative rewards of solitude by Maria Popova.

Albert Bierstadt’s artwork “Among the Sierra Nevada, California,” a blog post by Tynan about eating less, and a quote from Kurt Vonnegut on curing loneliness.

This week’s highlights include a recommendation for “Nuclear War Survival Skills” by Cresson Kearny, a reflection on a camping quote by Mike Harrelson, and praise for the lighthearted movie “The Mitchells vs. the Machines”.

This week we discuss a quote on the importance of putting theory into practice by Robin Waterfield, reflections on musical preferences, and a recommended read, “The Perfect Storm” by Sebastian Junger.

This edition includes a blog post by Adam Mastroianni on the pitfalls of productivity culture, and a video by Veritasium exploring game theory and life strategies. I also talk about my new electric scooter, which makes outings more enjoyable during summer.

This edition discusses “solitude deprivation” from Cal Newport’s book, advocating for moments away from digital distractions to connect with one’s thoughts. I also discuss the practice of letter writing.
