Hello Friends-

Here's this week's collection of must-reads for inquiring minds:

The value of self-compassion.
Confessions of a burnt out over-achiever.
How to decide the value of an hour of your time.
The talent trap: Why try, try and trying again isn’t the key to success.
A pacifist approach to hiring: “Nurturing untapped potential is far more exhilarating than finding someone who has already peaked.”
Portrait of Buckminster Fuller: “Picture a sprawling TED talk lasting for hours with dozens of ideas, concepts, and neologisms projected at the audience in a manic torrent of words.”
“An artist never works under ideal conditions.” Andrei Tarkovsky on art and the meaning of life.
A nice tribute to Bill Cunningham, who just straight-up did the work for 87 years. (The great 2011 documentary about Cunningham is currently free on Amazon Prime.)
Trump Ipsum: Let's make placeholder text great again!
