Health & Balance
1. A must read. All of it.
Relationships, Communications
…people who are generally cheerful are not so great at reading other
people's negative emotions, though what's especially interesting is
that they think they're very good at it.
3. 10 psychology studies every lover (or just human) should know. #6, 7, 8, and 10 are about healthy relationships in general.
4. Compatibility in relationships is overrated. Huh?
Maker Skills
5. A long-winded but insightful article on the pitfalls of becoming an entrepreneur (although it's mostly about freelancers), including identity issues. The author is an office worker and it shows, but the text still has valuable stuff for people of any employment status.
6. Some interesting points about creative expression online.
I get to say what my spaces are "for."
I love the Internet partly because we create our stages for whatever
performances we want. Some stages are actually created for only
certain kinds of content, like theme blogs and info channels and
tip-offering Twitter accounts. But most of them are basically for
variety acts, and that includes nearly all of the social media and
creativity platforms I have elected to create content for. I am ALWAYS
going to do a variety of things, and those interests and activities of
mine will leak into every aspect of my life online.
7. A comforting read. Somebody somewhere has their life together. It is possible.
Goodness
8. A one-hour interview, The Hollywood Reporter's Comedy Actress Roundtable (2015).
I've seen a bunch of their roundtables over the last years, but this one is the best. A really good combination of guests. The most thoughful, healthy discussion I've seen in those roundtables. And some fun of course.
9. Bits of pure joy (the best stuff is under "Below are some of our favourite loops"). This one is on my top list. And this one is quite metaphorical.
