Today I’m having a conversation with my friend and colleague Jeffrey Davis, who has just released a beautiful, magical, transformative book Tracking Wonder: Reclaiming a Life of Meaning and Possibility in a World Obsessed with Productivity.
The book covers the six facets of wonder, and how critical they are to our health, well-being, and lives well-lived. In this conversation we focus in on the facet of “hope,” especially in the face of so much hopelessness and challenge in this world of ours.

Watch it here:

Now most people in today’s tech-land know about a laptop. But not me — or rather, not till quite recently I did. My old man had his way with paper and a pen, never mind that he had written for decades as an engineer while pursuing undergraduate studies at Vanderbilt University and Harvard Business School. His engineering work often took him out of NYC itself and into places like Florida. At times like these trips were the highlight of his week. In those days paper journals and the rest of an MS Word document made sense only if you could also write in cursive or if an electric typewriter were nearby for some reason that always seemed…
