It’s 8AM on a Saturday & middle school boys are showing up—on their own. Why? They want to learn! Maybe your son isn’t lazy. Maybe he’s just coddled and unchallenged to learn something useful. Give him something hard to do. See what happens. Evin Jarret is doing this in Philly!

We got these phone booths (a K6 from the 1930s, and a KX100 from the 1990s) for the @stripe lobby, as a reminder that there are always two paths in everything we make: something that elevates and makes you smile, or, well, whatever the thing on the right is.

Computers used to be cool, but now they’re overwhelming. Our machines ping inside our homes, our phones have a rope on our attention, and apps keep us scrolling until we wonder where all the time went.

It’s time for something new. Computers should be tools, not the master.

Wow! They don’t recruit players. They recruit parenting styles! The wisdom of this is unbelievable. I’ve seen this over the years as well. The students I’ve worked with who normalize growth mindsets, and grow the most in college, generally have solid parents.

Men are dropping out of so many areas where they are badly needed.... and where there is job growth.

I drew on Richard's work to write the boys' chapter in Anxious Generation. Boys are dropping out of the real world. We need to reconnect them.

I don’t know if this study will replicate…but I’ve long believed humans have a basic need for synchronization.
It’s available through team sports, dancing (especially if everyone is dancing the same dance), choir, complicated group photos where everyone jumps…
