Slowly but surely I’ve been trekking through Jordan Peterson’s Beyond Order - his follow up to 2018's 12 Rules for Life - and slowly but surely I’ve been having my perspectives on life altered once again. He’s got another 12 rules, and like the first [...]
Talking to Strangers is recent, relevant, and masterfully presented. I'm upset I waited this long to read something by Malcolm Gladwell. In the last few years, our politically charged climate has given way to discussions of race and police brutality, a conversation that returned to [...]
Schedules mean stability and structure; both keys for productivity and mental health. If you don’t have a routine, are depressed and anxious, have trouble sleeping, maybe don’t even have a job or something to get you up in the morning, things can spiral out of [...]
