Hi friends,
Thanks to everyone who has joined the newsletter this week. Below are ideas that I am thinking about this week. I hope that something here resonates with you and helps you live more intentionally.
So often people are working hard at the wrong thing. Working on the right thing is probably more important than working hard. ~ Caterina Fake
optimal thinking
💬 Sam Harris has some short advice for people feeling lost or depressed. Lost or not, his advice is valuable. The stories we tell ourselves shape our lives. Become aware of the narrative in your head.
living intentionally
❤️ Valentine's Day has come and gone, but it's still a good time to pause and reflect on your current intimate relationship, or what you hope for from a future relationship. Tim Urban breaks down how to pick a life partner. Compliment with Maria Popova on The Difficult Art of Giving Space in Love.
meaningful work
🏋️♀️ Should you work hard? One of the top regrets people have at the end of their life is they worked too much. But if you don't work hard, perhaps you won't achieve your goals? The idea of alignment can help you think about this tension in your own life. Compliment with Paul Graham on How to Do What You Love.
