"I reread these stories to get the flavor of her ability to manipulate a reader’s mind," she says of SEVEN EMPTY HOUSES. Meanwhile, Enrigue has a place in her personal canon because "his writing is just so original and funny."

It is 90 degrees in New York City and we are struggling to get through the work week 🥵 Which made us think about David Epstein's conversation on CNBC Squawk Box about his book INSIDE THE BOX. One idea that really stuck with us: we live in a world with more options, flexibility, and productivity tools than ever before, yet all that freedom can sometimes leave us overwhelmed instead of fulfilled. Epstein argues that constraints help people and organizations focus, innovate, and actually make progress. The right boundaries can create clarity instead of paralysis. As Andrew Ross Sorkin says, INSIDE THE BOX “really makes you think about how we behave.” Maybe the challenge is not figuring out how to do everything, but deciding what is actually worth our attention.
