Best uses of my time this week

Roughly in order...

Jonathan Haidt's book The Happiness Hypothesis (The title is misleading -- it is not just about happiness. It is one of the densest sources of wisdom I've encountered.)

Learning about Ben Franklin's 13 virtues table (will incorporate something similar into my self-tracking spreadsheet).

Hanging out with my family around the fire pit.

Reflecting on how to judge whether something is a waste of talent.

Radiolab podcast on human limits.

Dan Ariely's post Creating God in Our Own Image.

A productive talk with the lady about expectations.

Writing a post on orphanages (upcoming).

Colin Marshall interviews Seth Godin.

Bloggingheads Paul Bloom and Joshua Knobe.

EconTalk with Arthur De Vany. Especially the second half about evolutionary diet and fitness.

Brain Science podcast on consciousness.

Alain de Botton's book Status Anxiety.

The idea that over half of all research is wrong.

Reviewing old notes.
