This past year has brought and taken many creative opportunities. While 2020 was certainly a curveball, I am grateful to have been able to study and write the entire year. The ten most popular articles I’ve written this year are:

My book summary of John McPhee‘s Draft No. Four.

My summary of Daily Stoic’s Read to Lead Challenge.

Motivation Follows Action.

A look at Ralph Waldo Emerson’s Touching Tribute to Henry David Thoreau.

How to You Respond to Being Uncomfortable?

Why action and influence require more than just social media.

The 25 Coolest Ideas I had encountered halfway through the year.

Why the origins of leisure lie in improving yourself, not amusing yourself.

A look at the role of Tradition in Antigone.

How to start your day calm and ready for action.
