my all time favorite articles & essays

There's nothing better than being three or four sentences into a new article and just knowing it's going to be worth the read.

You know the kind I mean. The ones you're willing to stay up late to read, or come dangerously close to missing a deadline because you got lost in learning something new.

In no particular order, this is my list of those kinds of articles:

• The Opposite of Loneliness

• Sarah Cooper's 10,000 Hours

• 50 Lessons Learned from Writing 50 Newsletters

• Jerry and Marge Go Large

• The Really Big One

• A Lost Generation of Women

• Being Alone

• The End of Small Talk

• The Most Gullible Man in Cambridge

• The Perfect Fire

• Monopolies and Magnolias

I share new favorites every Friday on Twitter, too. If you've read any of these, I'd love to know what you think. Please pass along your favorites too.
