Here are this week’s…
An excellent interview with psychologist Dacher Keltner, who has spent much of his professional career trying to answer the following question : how can we live a good life? A big part of it seems to be related to being amazed at things outside ourselves. But there’s also so many other things to learn in this interview. No Small Wonder.
A map that depicts 529 cable systems and 1,444 landings that are currently active or under construction. The Submarine Cable Map 2023.
A thought-provoking piece that will take you on a journey of reflection on our existence. The Lie of a Lifetime.

BONUS: Two interesting articles sharing writer and philosopher’s Alain de Botton’s opinions about the news. Both articles are from 2014, when his book The News: A User’s Manual came out, but I think they are very relevant today.
The news is the best distraction ever invented. It sounds so serious and important. But it wants you never to have any free time ever again, time where you can daydream, unpack your anxieties, and have a conversation with yourself. (Alain de Botton)
