Book cover for The Obstacle Is the Way: The Timeless Art of Turning Trials into Triumph
Not to an audience or for publication but to himself, for himself. And what he wrote is undoubtedly one of history’s most effective formulas for overcoming every negative situation we may encounter in life. A formula for thriving not just ...more

Philip Pullman
“It was nothing more than what it was.”
Philip Pullman, The Secret Commonwealth

Omar El Akkad
“The truth and reconciliation committees are coming. The land acknowledgements are coming. The very sorry descendants are coming.”
Omar El Akkad, One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This

Sarah Smarsh
“Maybe it’s no coincidence that Parton’s popularity seemed to surge the same year America seemed to falter. A fractured thing craves wholeness, and that’s what Dolly Parton offers—one woman who simultaneously embodies past and present, rich and poor, feminine and masculine, Jezebel and Holy Mother, the journey of getting out and the sweet return to home.”
Sarah Smarsh, She Come By It Natural: Dolly Parton and the Women Who Lived Her Songs

Jia Tolentino
“Beauty work is labeled “self-care” to make it sound progressive”
Jia Tolentino, Trick Mirror: Reflections on Self-Delusion

Omar El Akkad
“Alongside the ledger of atrocity, I keep another. The Palestinian doctor who would not abandon his patients, even as the bombs closed in. The Icelandic writer who raised money to get the displaced out of Gaza. The American doctors and nurses who risked their lives to go treat the wounded in the middle of a killing field. The puppet-maker who, injured and driven from his home, kept making dolls to entertain the children. The congresswoman who stood her ground in the face of censure, of constant vitriol, of her own colleagues’ indifference. The protesters, the ones who gave up their privilege, their jobs, who risked something, to speak out. The people who filmed and photographed and documented all this, even as it happened to them, even as they buried their dead.
It is not so hard to believe, even during the worst of things, that courage is the more potent contagion. That there are more invested in solidarity than annihilation. That just as it has always been possible to look away, it is always possible to stop looking away. None of this evil was ever necessary. Some carriages are gilded and others lacquered in blood, but the same engine pulls us all. We dismantle it now, build another thing entirely, or we hurtle toward the cliff, safe in the certainty that, when the time comes, we’ll learn to lay tracks on air.”
Omar El Akkad, One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This
