A batch of the best highlights from what Rasul's read, .
In the 1960s, parenting experts used guilt, shame, and fear to charge American parents with a new task: stimulate, instruct, and teach children, at every moment. This high-energy, high-talking approach stuck like superglue in American culture. We take the practice for granted. *Of course* that dad is giving that toddler a full physics lecture at the playground. *Of course* I started reading to Rosy when she was two months old and continue to now, when she’s three years old. *Of course* we have 143 children’s books in our house. That’s not just normal. It’s beneficial. It’s optimal.
Hunt, Gather, Parent
Michaeleen Doucleff
If you cannot treat your quest to get rich as a game—a silly game with serious rules—you will never be rich.
The Narrow Road
Felix Dennis
A skillful way of dealing with the poison of greed is to try to understand it. We start that process by looking at the things we desire and asking ourselves, “Why?” Why do I feel such a strong desire to have this thing or that person? Why do I feel the need to achieve this or that? It’s not that there’s anything inherently wrong with the feeling of desire; it’s that we can become blinded by it, especially when we don’t have a thorough understanding of the intent or causes behind why we feel what we feel.
