Once a month, I curate the best links on how to find work that you love, be excellent at what you do, and unlock any door that stands in your way. Mostly, I gather articles and podcasts that capture my attention because they make me think or laugh. Here is the link round-up for October 2016!
THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK
• The ‘most rejected person in the world’ shares how to create work you love.
• These eleven women reinvented themselves in mid-life and never looked back!
• Great advice from Alex Franzen if you are searching for your life’s purpose.
• Don’t lie on your resume! Those little white lies are not so little anymore.
• The world’s oldest man waited a century to celebrate his bar mitzvah! At age 113, it finally happened!
• I am so going to miss having the Obamas in the White House! At least Michelle’s kitchen garden will keep blooming after they leave.
• The Boss in an interview with Terry Gross. So good.
• Speaking of The Boss, I love this letter from a fan. It shows the healing powers of music and all the ways we can impact someone and not even know it.
• Annie Leibovitz is one of my favorite photographers. Her body of work, especially of women, never ceases to inspire me.
• Another inspirational icon, Gloria Steinem looks back on a life well lived and looks forward to all the things she still wants to do.
Happy reading and listening,
