Week 29, 2023
A week in Brûlon (France).
Hikes and Walkes
We had one last hike before we are heading back. It was no pleasure, first and foremost because we are in a place of instability. And with this as a base layer there is no headspace available for joy. This is something I struggled all my life, but I want to change it.
Quotes
A life of making isn’t a series of shows, or projects, or productions, or things: it is an everyday practice. It is a practice of questions more than answers, of waiting to find what you need more often than knowing what you need to do. Waiting, like listening and meandering, is best when it is an active and not a passive state.
— About Anne Hamilton from The Marginalian
Being productive is about occupying your time—filling your schedule to the brim and getting as much as you can. Being effective is about finding more of your time unoccupied and open for other things besides work.
— Jason Fried in his HEY World post
Podcasts
On Being with Krista Tippett. This podcast was a great enjoyment. Loved everything about the conversation with Maria Popova. It was aired in 2015 and then re-run 2019, but it feels timeless. Something that Maria mastered with her own website The Marginalian. Deep sinning and light. Pleasant in all aspects. Highly recommended.

The Tim Ferriss Show. This podcast was completely in his time. It was recorded and aired during the COVID pandemic. You can here it from the beginning to the end. This one I also enjoyed a lot, not only because I like both, Sam Harris and Tim Ferriss. The flow between the two is great. Sam was funny, something I hadn't known from him before. Highly recommended.

The Tim Ferriss Show again. This one is another rare insight behind the curtain. It's the newest episode. Very interesting and informative at the beginning and way into the middle, but falling down at the end. Nontheless I liked it.

Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu. When I come across Gabor Maté, I stay and listen to what he has to say. It is never a disappointment, always a realization. Also because it touches me in who I am, with all my pain and struggles. Listened ones, but definitively not the last time. Highly recommended. — Gabor Maté, This Is Why You Feel LOST & UNHAPPY In Life!

And last but not least one of my heroes. A real gem and absolute pleasure. What a clear mind he had and how good he could predict the future is still amazing. Maybe now more than it was back then, when this interview was taken. Kudos also to Terry Gross and NPR. Brilliant interview.
