Clear filters"Agnes Callard who has this book called Aspiration: The Agency of Becoming which was incredibly motivating to me. It was actually the reason I quit my job to go to grad school. It has had a huge influence in my life."
"C. Thi Nguyen who you've talked to. I love him as a philosopher. He has this amazing book called Games: Agency as Art."
"Oliver Burkeman's 4000 Weeks, which I think was also a huge influence on me. I would say Oliver Burkeman is one of those great very philosophically inflected self-help writers. He's definitely at the top of that genre."
"Ellen Lupton and her partner Abbott Miller wrote this book ages ago called Design, Writing, Research. I was recently thinking about it. I was like, maybe this is the book that's just defined my life over the past decade. I'm so obsessed with that book."
"Vivian Gornick. She has this amazing book The Situation and the Story which I've actually not finished reading because every time I read a little bit I'm like wow this is so wise and profound."
