Join 📚 Christian Champ's Highlights
A batch of the best highlights from what Christian's read, .
To flourish as a human being is to live life fully. That means more than simply accumulating pleasures and avoiding pain. Flourishing includes living and acting with integrity, virtue, purpose, meaning, dignity, and autonomy-aspects of life that are not just difficult to quantify but that you might put front and center, regardless of the cost.
Wild Problems

Irrational people are much more powerful than rational people, because their threats are so much more convincing.
Children need to see adults learning, and adults being incompetent. Adults are typically so good at things like reading, cooking and searching on the Internet. It can feel to children like adults are always capable and that they never had to learn. Make the process explicit; talk about how you learnt to do things and, even better, find something to start learning from scratch. Show your children that you’re not afraid of being a novice. Talk about your thought processes so they can hear what it’s like for you. We need to create an environment where learning involves making mistakes, and not knowing how to start, but doing it anyway. An environment where the process, not the end point, is what it’s all about.
