Making Sense with Sam Harris
#476 โ€” The Bittersweet Age

And based on an experience that the boys had where we went on this childhood vacation and they befriended two adorable donkeys and then had to say goodbye to them at the end of the vacation.

And so it's about bittersweetness and how to say goodbye.

Making Sense with Sam Harris
#476 โ€” The Bittersweet Age

When does that come out?

Making Sense with Sam Harris

Any minute now.

I think it's June 2nd.

And most recently and continuously, you have a presence on Substack where you can be found under the banner of The Quiet Life, which is, from the looks of it, is very focused on community as much as your actual writing.

What are you doing over there on Substack?

Making Sense with Sam Harris
#476 โ€” The Bittersweet Age

Well, I write usually to, I guess, newsletters is what people call them generically, but I call them kindred letters because I'm writing to people who have the same orientation that I do towards quiet depth and beauty.

And so I write two of those kindred letters every week.

and then really encourage people to comment.

Because as you say, the comments and the dialogue back and forth, I think is some of the best part of the Substack.

So a lot of it is that, and it's sharing, you know, I call it art, ideas, and consolations.

Making Sense with Sam Harris
#476 โ€” The Bittersweet Age

So it's sharing all of those things.

And then we also come together once a month and do candlelight chats, where actually Anika was one of our guests.
