Curiosity Chronicle

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving in the United States.Ever since I was a kid, it's been my favorite holiday. To me, it was always a celebration of here and now.My mom embraced the day as a chance to bring people together. Having been introduced to Thanksgiving by a loving host family who took her in when she came to America for college in 1978, it strikes me that she feels a sense of duty to pay that love forward.Every year, she hosts a big gathering of family, friends, and a smattering of my dad's students and mentees who don't have local family to visit for the occasion.And every year, after the big meal is finished, we choose a prompt and go around the table reflecting and responding to it.This year, I'm in charge of that prompt. Here's what I plan to ask:What did your younger self pray for that you take for granted today?To understand why I chose this, let me take you back to 2021...•••The 5 Types of Wealth has now sold over 400,000 copies since its release.If you’re ready to rethink success and redesign your life, the book is currently on a huge sale.

I have a weird confession:I enjoy listening to audiobooks about running, while running.It all started a few years ago with ​Born to Run​, the incredible story of a journalist who ventures deep into Mexico’s Sierra Madre mountains to train and learn from the Tarahumara, an indigenous group known for their prolific ultra-long-distance running capabilities.So last week, embracing my odd habit, I picked up a new audiobook called ​The Running Ground​ and headed out for a run on the cold roads of the Boston suburbs.Somewhere around mile three, a story in the book stopped me in my tracks (literally)...•••Mel Robbins called my first book "a powerful wake-up call that will push you to rethink everything about how you’re spending your time."

A few days ago, I came across a ​fascinating tweet​ about Dodgers baseball star Shohei Ohtani.Long before Ohtani was winning back-to-back World Series Championships and Most Valuable Player awards, he was just another kid with a dream.As a high school freshman, he dreamed of being the #1 draft pick for eight teams in the Nippon Professional Baseball league in Japan. It was an ambitious vision, to say the least.But where most people stop with the loose vision, Ohtani was just getting started...•••Andrew Huberman called my first book "An important clarifying force in anyone’s search to make the best possible choices for their life."

There’s an old Danish fairy tale about an emperor who loved fine clothes.Two swindlers promised him a suit so magnificent that it would be invisible to anyone unfit for their position or hopelessly foolish. They dress him in the invisible garments, and the emperor steps out into the city streets for a grand parade—completely naked. The townspeople, afraid to appear unfit or foolish, cheer for the outfit that isn't there. Only a small child told the truth: “But he’s completely naked!”It’s a children’s story, but it beautifully captures one of the most dangerous dynamics in human nature: The Abilene Paradox...•••Mel Robbins called my first book "a powerful wake-up call that will push you to rethink everything about how you’re spending your time."

In Homer’s epic poem The Odyssey, Odysseus and his men faced a long, arduous journey home to Ithaca after the Trojan War.Early in the voyage, a series of fierce storms blow them off course and land them on a mysterious, sunlit island. It seemed peaceful, with gentle winds, calm seas, and fertile land. The inhabitants were friendly and welcoming. They offered Odysseus and his men food, specifically the fruit of the lotus plant.But this was no ordinary fruit.

I stumbled across a ​great post​ recently:When fisherman cannot go to sea, they repair nets. When the sea is too rough to sail, the smart ones don’t wait—they get to work.

I've often mused that there are (broadly) two ways to improve your life:Add a Positive: A good habit, behavior, person, etc.Remove a Negative: A bad habit, behavior, person, etc.An important observation: Most of us automatically default to the former and ignore the latter.We're conditioned to believe that progress means doing more.

Money is a funny thing.It consumes an enormous amount of our energy and attention in adulthood, but very few of us learn anything about it in childhood or adolescence.If we're lucky, our parents teach us a few of the basics (and maybe we get a boring course or two on it in school).But we're pretty much left on our own when it comes to one of the most influential elements in our lives.I'm 34 years old and I've spent a lot of time thinking about money over the last few years.

The Ancient Greeks had two different words for time:Chronos was the idea of chronological, linear, quantitative time. That all time is equal.Kairos was a bit different. That there are certain moments or windows that have more meaning. More texture. More importance. More weight.We’ve all experienced Kairos time. There are certain moments in life that feel etched into our memory. The pivotal turning points. The experiences or events that have a distinct before and after in how we approached the world.Cruelly, we often don’t realize we’re living one of those moments until after the fact.

On June 11, 1997, Michael Jordan stepped onto the court for Game 5 of the NBA Finals between his Chicago Bulls and the Utah Jazz.Jordan was reportedly very sick, but chose to play given the critical importance of the game to the series, which was tied 2-2 at the time.Throughout the game, he looked visibly unwell, with a fever over 100 degrees, he experienced extreme fatigue, dehydration, and body aches.But despite his condition, he played 44 of the 48 total minutes, scored 38 points, and had 7 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 steals, and 1 block. With under one minute left, he hit a 3-pointer to seal the win for the Bulls.The game—now commonly known as Michael Jordan’s “Flu Game”—has gone down in NBA lore as one of the most impressive, clutch performances in history.While I do vividly recall watching this game with my dad (I was 6-years-old at the time!), I’m not just sharing this as a fun trip down memory lane…•••Mel Robbins called my first book "a powerful wake-up call that will push you to rethink everything about how you’re spending your time."

Here's an old Buddhist story I think about often:Imagine someone is struck by a poisoned arrow. A doctor is called to remove the arrow, but the man stops him. 'Not so fast! Before you remove it, I want to know who shot me. What town or village does he come from? What kind of wood was his bow made from? Was it a crossbow or a longbow?' While he asks the questions, the poison takes hold and he dies.Like the man in the story, we occasionally get shot with the poisoned arrows of life.

I have a close friend—we'll call him Ben.Ben is very successful. He's in his 30s, sold a company for $100 million, and earns over $10 million per year in his current role.I was recently out on a walk with Ben when he admitted something interesting:He hates his current job. He finds no fulfillment in the work and dreams of leaving to start something new. Something that would bring him alive again.So, naturally, I told him to quit.
