The Best of the Sunday Times*
*According to me It was a good paper this week. Here are the pieces I especially enjoyed: But Will It Make You Happy? – Surprise! Researchers find that material possessions don’t make people happy; it’s relationships and experiences that do. Our propensity to “hedonic adaptation” means that we rather quickly acclimate to change—good or bad—to maintain a stable level of happiness. In other words,...

This article on style has plenty of its own. →
Ideas can be hard to understand, but must the sentences used to describe them also be? This delicious little piece in Times Higher Education takes on this question. And there’s a lot to love about the author’s own style. Namely: The use of the term “obfuscatory malaise” to describe the discomfort with academic style. Yes. Words that are so lovely they must be said out...

Romanticizing the Primitive
In my tradition of imagining up cocktails I would never actually drink, here’s a new one called “Romanticizing the Primitive” (my “Romanticizing the Past” cocktail involved brandy, assorted bitters, and wagon wheel water): 2 oz. buffalo fat 1 oz. coconut water 1 pastured egg yolk Wild berry for garnish Melt fat over campfire at low temperature; crack coconut on...

The Best of the Sunday Times According to Me:...
SUNDAY STYLES A Father-Daughter Bond, Page by Page – All parents should read with their kids, but this family took it to the next level with “The Streak”: 3,218 nights of reading in a row. This is one of the most heartwarming parent-child rituals I’ve encountered, and it only slightly borders on weird (mainly the part where the daughter and her friends would stop home in the middle of their night...

Reading the Fun Parts of the Sunday Times So You...

I had the pleasure of meeting Michael a week ago at the SXSW Send-Off at First Avenue. Dispensing with pleasantries, we quickly moved into a...
