Welcome to the weekend,
A Happy Thanksgiving to my fellow Americans – and thank you, reader, for being here.
Now, for five things I found worth sharing this week.
“If you don’t know what game you are playing, it’s hard to make progress on playing it well.” On learning the differences between attention and recognition – and the myriad ways modern life can cause us to confuse the two.
“Would you thank your mom or God first?” Breaking down the numbers of who gets thanked in Grammy acceptance speeches.
What is life like spending three days living with the Amish?
Look inside Roald Dahl’s writing shed (and Wes Anderson’s recreation of it).
“The person who aligns themselves with the general principles of the world goes further and faster than the person who doesn’t.”
Currently reading: A Personal Anthology by Jorge Luis Borges
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend!
