The Book of Disquiet

"I went into the barbershop as usual, with the pleasant sensation of entering a familiar place, easily and naturally. new things are distressing to my sensibility; I'm at ease only in places where I've already been. after I'd sat down in the chair, i happened to ask a young barber, occupied in fastening a clean cool cloth around my neck, about his older colleague from the chair to the right, a spry fellow who had been sick. i didn't ask this because i felt obliged to ask something; it was the place and my memory that sparked the question, 'he passed away yesterday,' flatly answered the barber's voice behind me. The whole of my irrational good mood abruptly died, like the eternally missing barber from the adjacent chair. A chill swept over all my thoughts. I said nothing. Nostalgia! I even feel it for people and things that were nothing to me... Faces I habitually see on my habitual streets -if I stop seeing them I become sad. And they were nothing to me, except perhaps the symbol of all of life..."

A Breeze From In Praise of Walking

Walking has inspired all sorts of creativity, "The moment my legs begin to move, my thoughts begin to flow," said Henry David Thoreau. William Wordsworth's poem "Tintern Abbey" was written during a long walk, as well. "Only thoughts reached by walking have value," was how Friedrich Nietzsche put it. But why does walking have this effect? The answer, as you might have guessed, lies in your brain. Your brain has two modes: an active mode and a de- fault mode. When your brain is in active mode, it's vital for keeping your brain in order and your thinking sharp. Evidence suggests that creativity occurs when these two modes of thinking occur simultaneously. And walking is a great way to encourage the brain to do exactly that. Walking - or more specifically, spatial navigation - stimulates the part of the brain around the hippocampus, which is also the part of the brain that's active in memory. Walking might not help with uncreative problems like mathematical calculations. But for creative problem-solving, like coming up with a novel mathematical formula, walking can help greatly. The author calls it active idleness - letting your mind wander freely, yet still retaining a sense focus. You've probably heard people say you should "sleep on" a difficult question - but why not also try "walking on" it? Next time you have a challenging problem to solve at work, give it a go.

A Breeze From Getting Things Done

When you through a pebble into a puddle of water, how does the water react? The answer, completely appropriately to the mass of the pebble and the force with which it was thrown. The water doesn't over or under react, but when we encounter stressful events in life we often let them control us by provoking a reaction that is disproportionate to what is required. For instance, if you're already buried under a mountain of tasks and then an email comes in adding one more thing, you might feel overwhelmed and respond brusquely, but wouldn't be great if you had a state of mind like water? Not over or under reacting to the email or any other events you encounter, but always just respond appropriately?
