Thich Nhat Hanh was nearly killed because he called for peace in a time of war.

I spoke with one of his students, Kaira Jewel Lingo, about what that taught him, how he kept going, and what lessons we can borrow now.

Could not be happier that Andrea Armstrong has been chosen as a MaCArthur fellow. Wrote about her extraordinary work documenting deaths in America’s jails and prisons in this piece. newyorker.com/magazine/2021/…

Really grateful to the ever-thoughtful @jessnordell for her deep curiosity and compassion.

Doctors have long been spared the degradation so many workers in the US experience, but the corporatization of medicine is changing this, fueling alienation and causing many physicians to feel moral distress, as I report in this week’s ⁦NYT Magazine⁩. nytimes.com/2023/06/15/mag…

Can you care deeply about diet and exercise without getting super intense about it (or being motivated by self-loathing)?

I've been working with Dan Harris on this question, and today on Ten Percent Happier, we preview our attempt at an answer.

Really thought-provoking podcast from DJ Cashmere on some major recent changes at Noble Street charters and in the No Excuses charter movement in general: apmreports.org/episode/2022/0…

DJ Cashmere was once a Teach for America true believer. He is now a journalist, and reckons with the mistakes he made — and the lessons he learned — in this thoughtful, illuminating podcast about his experience at a “no excuses” charter school in Chicago. itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZS…

Thanks for listening Beth Fertig! So glad it landed for you.

Thank you for listening, Paul Tough!

You're one of the few people who influenced me back in my teaching days (I read 'How Children Succeed' with my students) *and* in my journalism ('Whatever It Takes' was formative in my understanding of the heady early days of ed reform). ❤️

Thanks for listening, Eyal Press!

This podcast from DJ Cashmere about a *no excuses* charter school in Chicago is amazing. He does a particularly good job capturing the Obama-era education reform consensus. So glad I listened! apmreports.org/episode/2022/0…
