I read a lot of articles for my newsletter and today I want to share with you these 5 mind blowing pieces. At the end of the post you will find 3 more great articles which are older than ’23. Let’s go.
The article “Books as Toys” by Austin Kleon discusses the idea of treating books not just as sources of information or entertainment, but as physical objects that can be interacted with and enjoyed in a playful manner.
This one discusses the concept of authenticity and the importance of being true to oneself.
The piece suggests that true financial freedom comes not just from having money, but from having the ability to live life on one’s own terms without the burden of others’ expectations or judgments about one’s wealth.
This article invites readers to join a “secret society”, which is dedicated to conducting small, informal experiments to better understand human nature and society. The author encourages participants to engage in simple, everyday experiments that challenge assumptions and explore social dynamics, emphasizing the importance of curiosity and observation in everyday life.
“There’s a theory I like that suggests why the nineteenth century is so rich in ghost stories and hauntings. Carbon monoxide poisoning from gas lamps.“
