Care packages from role models
I’m moving like Tigger just thinking about Quarterly Co.
You purchase a subscription to receive a surprise object in the post from a particular interesting person of choice - such as Tina Roth Eisenberg, or Scott Belsky. (The sort of people who tempt me to indulge in exclamatory punctuation.)
The concept is like a magazine, but you get curated goodies in the mailbox instead for $25 per...

Hmm, second Jonah Lehrer link in two days. I found them by two very different pathways, however.
Kairos and Chronos
Mentioned to me yesterday, so I just clarified per Wikipedia:
“The ancient Greeks had two words for time, chronos and kairos. While the former refers to chronological or sequential time, the latter signifies a time in between, a moment of indeterminate time in which something special happens… the right or opportune moment.”

schizophonia
The situation of listening to sounds & voices unrelated to your visual surrounds.

WatchResist cynicism & sit back for this knockout list of statistics on smiling.
