A new film on the life of Michael J. Fox, counteracting the loneliness of remote work, when you should give up on your dreams, and a review of James Patterson's memoir
Such an interesting post, Chris - thank you for these resources and recommendations!
You've asked 'What are some of your favourite daily escapes?' Like you I love to watch nature - I'm envious of your cardinals, chipmunks and wild turkeys because over on this side of the pond they seem so different - I love the blackbirds, goldfinches and squirrels. Writing is a fabulous escape, too. But if I really want to zone out I hit my favourite room in the house - the kitchen - and find stuff to chop, to dice, to whisk or to stir. Cooking is perhaps my favourite thing to do to steady my busy head.
Thanks so much for this, Christopher. I'm writing a piece on what I call malignant optimism and appreciate the article on "goal fusion", which sort of sounds like something on a soccer field, no? LOL. (I'll link to you/this post when my piece is up...in July.) xo
