    Excerpt

    Read excerpt

    Good morning.Every September for the last few years I have quietly gone missing. There is no announcement and no farewell post, just a slow narrowing of the diary, a few unanswered invitations, and a version of me in December holding something I did not have in August. It has happened often enough now that I have stopped calling it a coincidence and started calling it a method. This year I want to do it with you rather than beside you, which is why the Great Lock In starts today.Before I make th

    Excerpt

    Hey everyone, Somewhere around the tenth mile of a long run through Greenwich Park, I decided I was finished.

    Your Success Is Not Inevitable (opens the original)

    Excerpt

    Read excerpt

    Good MorningThere is a quiet lie that a certain kind of person carries with them into their thirties. The lie is that their success is inevitable. Not stated out loud, of course, and never that crude. It lives in the background of their thinking, a low hum of confidence that everything will work out because it always has, or because the people around th… Read more
