I love the new focus! the idea of humanity as a set of behaviors, a way to be in the world, feels resonant and relevant to me in this moment. Looking very much forward to following the various threads of your thought process on a weekly basis. Reading you is like being at your table in conversation - lots of deeply interesting ideas, big and little, connected or not, but always in service of discovery. I’m excited!!
Someone recently recommended the book Life is in the Transitions by Bruce Feiler. I have not read much of it yet but the basic premise is first an acknowledgement of the significant power of one’s own narrative (life story) to guide, define, heal; and second, affirmation of the fact that the basic construct of those stories is out of sync with how life works these days. We historically thought of life as a cycle, then as a linear path, but now life has clearly become very nonlinear, with far more disruptors that occur with far greater frequency. This ultimately compels us to rethink our expectations of how life will unfold. We will need new tools, different solutions and, of course, changed expectations going forward.
That seems to be in alignment with this inaugural installment.
