Here are seven essays I wrote recently. On life, habits, learning, and mastery.
Fresh post
On taking courses and flying an airplane. Online education gained a second wind during the COVID-19 pandemic. With many people confined to their homes for months, some chose to make the most of this time by enrolling in courses. When I take a course or workshop, whether online or offline, I love to remind myself (and my students) of this โflying on an airplaneโ analogy.
