  • The role of art in difficult times. Where propaganda simplifies, artists invite us into the liminal space between what is and what ought to be – Financial Times
  • The downside of getting what you want. With change, even the good, comes loss. The good-news blues are real – The New York Times
  • Renzo Piano’s light touch. The beauty of weightlessness, according to the architect behind London’s Shard, New York’s Whitney Museum, and Paris’s Centre Pompidou – New Yorker
  • The profound experience of seeing a new colour. The ecstasy of “olo” – The Atlantic
  • When overcollaboration leads to indecision. Being too collaborative can actually hold you back at work. Here’s how to not be overly consensus-driven – HBR Podcast
  • Before it was ‘bittersweet’, nostalgia was seen as a parasite. Early modern ideas about nostalgia, infused with the elements of horror, invite us to think more deeply about human longing – Psyche
  • Rewilding the dictionary. Are we protecting nature or pretending we’re not part of it? A look at how the words we use shape our relationship with the living world – The Beautiful Truth

“Life is nothing more than the voyage, a thought that can serve as a sort of antidote to the burdens of living.”
