The Inner Game, Long Reads, Responsible Housing & How to Learn Anything
The newsletter seems to have gone bi-weekly during the summer, which I'm okay with.
The summer is always busy—people visiting, vacations, events, spending time outdoors—and naturally that means things like the newsletter get deprioritized.
I'm okay with it—I've talked before about how I appreciate the practice over at Farnam Street of taking a couple months off (the best months here in Canada) to enjoy some time off.

Have a great week!
