@DavidAFrench It’s so good… like seeing a friend who’s been gone for a while…

Malcolm Gladwell literally gave a 1-hour masterclass on why some people succeed and others don't and it will completely change how you think about talent, effort, and success.

I saw Scottish tribal band Clann An Drumma tonight in Edinburgh - well worth a watch, and they are playing three more dates during the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

This was an outstanding feature on Mitch.
I read several of his books but didn’t realize his impact in Haiti.

A fully masked ICE agent pepper sprayed a woman in New York yesterday merely for videotaping
He approached her. She was standing still. That guy needs jail time.

If this goes viral, the city will seek charges.

Falling Slowly

I'm heartbroken to hear of the passing of Glen Hansard. His music has been the soundtrack to my life for as long as I can remember.

This was one of the very first pieces I shared here during the Covid pandemic. I remember how nervous I felt posting it. Not long afterwards, I received a message from Glen himself telling me he loved my version. Those few kind words, coming from an artist I admired so deeply, meant more than I can say. They gave me the confidence to keep sharing my music, and they played a significant part in the path that followed.

So many evenings were spent lying on the floor of my cottage beside the fire with my dog Nisha, listening to Glen's songs. I still can't quite believe he's gone.

This is Falling Slowly from the film Once. Glen and his co-star, Markéta Irglová, won the Academy Award for Best Original Song in 2008.

The world feels quieter today. My heart goes out to his family, his friends, and to everyone whose life was touched by his music. I'll be listening to his songs for the rest of my life.

Conservatives like @JDVance and @KevinRobertsTX have recently asserted America was founded as a Christian nation.

Justice Neil Gorsuch disagrees.

“I just don't see it that way,” says Gorsuch. “We have a First Amendment for crying out loud. No established religion.”

[Dr. Arthur Brooks @arthurbrooks]

For many people, the formula for a better life sounds obvious: add more.

More success. More money. More recognition. More experiences. More followers.

But what if the pursuit of happiness isn't about accumulation at all?

One of the most profound lessons I've ever received came from standing in front of a sculpture in a museum in China. An art historian explained that Western artists often begin with an empty canvas, adding brushstroke after brushstroke until the work is complete. In the Chinese tradition, the work of art already exists inside an uncut block of jade. The artist's job is simply to remove everything that doesn't belong.

Then he said something I've never forgotten:

"That's how you Westerners see your lives. You think you're incomplete until you have more. We think you're complete when you've uncovered what's already there."

Especially in the second half of life, happiness often comes less from adding and more from subtracting. Letting go of ambitions that no longer serve you. Releasing resentments. Quieting your ego. Chipping away at everything that keeps you from becoming who you already are.
