🌱 Personal growth
Most writing about personal growth fails in the same way: it describes the destination in detail and the first step not at all. The pieces here are chosen for the opposite quality — each one ends with something small enough to do this week.
They cover finding a direction worth having, the compounding effect of unglamorous daily choices, and what to do when the obstacle turns out to be you. Read one, take the single idea you disagree with least, and try it for a fortnight.
