Thank you for this. Maybe I should try 80 before 80. But kind of a tall order.

Haha, well currently my list has 70 books on it and I'm trying to narrow it down. So I could do a 40 by 40 and then another 40 by 40 to kind of do an 80 by 80 for you!

"We have do both things—the right now work and the visionary work—because nobody gets another life." I feel this so deeply and love how you expressed it.

I'm so glad it resonated. I feel like this tension is something I struggle with daily, but I feel it so deeply too. 💛💛💛

Thank you for this sentiment around the election Laura - sometimes I can't figure out how to articulate a feeling and your newsletter always clarifies. Like, almost every time.

I hope school is going well!

This is such a lovely lovely thing to hear. I am almost always trying to clarify things for myself so the fact that they are also clarifying for other people is very gratifying. 💗

"a booklist for building the next decade of my life" -- love this framing! 🙌🏼 and thank you for your thoughtful articulation here of what voting can (and mostly cannot) do.

Thinking about what voting can't do is definitely clarifying for me! And I'm glad you love the booklist framing—me too!
