1. Skill

2. Story

3. Style

4. Space

5. Psychology

6. Symbiatelic

sym·bi·o·sis (noun)

1. interaction between two different organisms living in close physical association, typically to the advantage of both.

2. a mutually beneficial relationship between different people or groups.

“atelic” activities — things we enjoy for their own sake. (Keiran Setiya)

Oliver Burkeman’s “Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals” Book

“Nothing is more alien to the present age than idleness.” “How can there be play in a time in which nothing has meaning unless it leads to something else.” 

– John Gray

“Because children grow up, we think a child's purpose is to grow up. But a child's purpose is to be a child. Nature doesn't disdain what lives only for a day. It pours the whole of itself into each moment. We don't value the lily less for not being made of flint and built to last. Life's bounty is in its flow, later is too late.” 

– Alexander Hudson

Steven Pressfield’s “The War of Art: Break Through the Blocks and Win Your Inner Creative Battles” Book

Lulu Miller’s “Why Fish Don't Exist: A Story of Loss, Love, and the Hidden Order of Life” Book

Jamie Drake’s “Easy Target” New Single

TALK EASY / PUSHKIN

I want to tell you about another podcast you'll love, Talk Easy with Sam Fragoso.

Talk Easy is a different kind of weekly interview show. Sam offers a space for guests to slow down and share how they arrived at the place they are today and where they hope to go tomorrow.

Rigorously researched and irrepressibly curious, Talk Easy invites artists, writers, and activists to come to the table and speak from the heart in ways you probably haven't heard from them before.

Some of my favorite interviews include talks with Jeff Garlin, Lorde, Nick Offerman, Janelle Monáe, and George Saunders. This season, Sam will sit with folks like Questlove, Alana Haim, Cate Blanchett, Margaret Atwood and more.

Listen to new episodes of Talk Easy with Sam Fragoso, every Sunday: https://talkeasypod.com
