Smart and practical strategies for living, in Maria's words, wonder-smitten by reality.

Maria Popova thinks and writes about our search for meaning — sometimes through science and philosophy, sometimes through poetry and children's books, always through the lens of wonder. She is the creator of The Marginalian (born in 2006 under the name Brain Pickings), which is included in the Library of Congress permanent digital archive of culturally valuable materials, author of Figuring, and maker of the live show The Universe in Verse — a charitable celebration of the wonder of reality through stories of science winged with poetry, which is now also a book.

In this episode we talk about:

  • Wonder as a tool for improving all of your relationships
  • The tyranny of the word should
  • How the hardest thing in life is not getting what you want, it's knowing what you want
  • Why she doesn't believe in making meditation a tool, even though she's been practicing for 14 years
  • The illusion of certainty
  • The immense value of intellectual humility
  • Strategies for outgrowing your old habits
  • Her new book, The Universe in Verse, which is a combination of science and poetry

From The Marginalian: How to Love the World More: George Saunders on the Courage of Uncertainty
