Everyone Telling You To Slow Down? Read This.
The other day, Sam (a.k.a. the spousal unit) was watching a paramedic reality show and I walked in on a particularly gruesome scene.

The Sprint Or The Marathon? Which One Is Your Style?
As a teenager, I was an excellent runner, faster than any of my classmates. However, there was a caveat to this: I was excellent at running short distances and for short periods. I was a beast at the 100-metre race, but I would never win a marathon without substantial amounts of training. I liked to […]

What I’m Focusing On This Year: Pleasure

What Makes An Author Successful?
First, some interesting statistics that I read online: Queen’s Gambit, the show that’s been a runaway success for Netflix, debuted on the platform in the last week of October and has been watched by more than 62 million households.
