The Pursuits · Growth
Growth.
The ideas changing how we think and live.
Why this pursuit exists
Most of us were taught what to think, not how.
Growth, for us, isn't about optimization. It's about understanding — of ourselves, of the people we love, of the quiet forces that shape a life before we ever notice them.
This pursuit is where the reading, the questions, and the slow rewiring live.
The question underneath everything
Why do people become who they become?
Every book, every conversation, every experiment we run eventually rolls back to this one question. It's the reason behavioral science, psychology, and habit formation keep reappearing on the same shelf as our children's stories.
If we can understand a little more of what shapes a person, we can be a little more intentional about what we let shape ours.
What we're studying
The threads we keep pulling on.
Emotional intelligence
Trying to name what we feel before we react. Failing often. Getting a little better.
StudyingWhy We Become Who We Become
The question that keeps pulling us back. Behavioral science, psychology, habits, and the forces that quietly shape a life.
ReadingConversations with great thinkers
The ideas we keep returning to. Notes, quotes, and the conversations that quietly changed how we think.
OngoingThinking with AI
Using AI to reflect, ask better questions, challenge assumptions, and think more clearly.
ExperimentingEmotional intelligence
Naming a feeling before it names you.
A lot of the trouble in a day comes from mistaking a feeling for a fact. We're practicing the very small skill of pausing long enough to say, out loud or on paper, what the feeling actually is.
Half the time it changes what we do next. The other half, at least we knew what we were doing.
Thinking with AI
A patient thinking partner, on demand.
Used carelessly, AI answers for you. Used well, it asks the questions you were avoiding. We're less interested in what it can produce and more interested in how it can sharpen how we think — about ourselves, our children, and the decisions in front of us.
