What art is for

Hey friends,

Here are 5 things I enjoyed this week:

1) Of course, I saw Jon Snow come back to life and celebrated with a Tiger Woods fist pump.

2) An article on why a lot of smart people end up being unhappy.

3) A podcast with Ryan Holiday on how achieving in small increments is better than landing your dream in one instance.

4) A blog post from Seth Godin on how to put together a PowerPoint presentation.

5) A quote from Austin Kleon:

“I’ve had my ideas about what art is for change a lot in the past couple years. The thing I’ve really come around to is that really really good art, or really really good music, or really really good writing, it makes you pay attention to the world. And that’s it. It’s about paying attention to your life.”
