GWJ RL #15: Free Chapter From Cathedral Of The Wild, Actually the kids aren't alright, and much more!
By Jordan Thibodeau • Issue #15 • View online
Hey Everyone,
Next Friday I’m interviewing Boyd Varty Ted Speaker (If you haven’t seen his TED talk check it out or podcast interview) and Author  of Cathedral of the Wild: An African Journey Home.
Boyd’s family manages Londolozi Game preserve located in South Africa. Four generations of Varty’s have lived in Londolozi  and with the help Shangan people, they have restored Londolozi to a thriving game preserve. 
This was done in the midst Apartheid where it was frowned upon to associate with blacks, let alone employ them. Being Londolozi is tucked away in the African bush, political backwardness lost its power and blacks and whites were able to work together for their love of the land. As Boyd says, “…When men face danger together, they lose frivolous definitions of the world and simply become people who must work in harmony in order to survive.”

“Rolling up your sleeves and actually shipping something is much, much more valuable. If you take no other advice from me ever, ship something. You’ll learn more shipping a failure than you’ll learn from reading about a thousand successes. And you stand an excellent chance of shipping a success – people greatly overestimate how difficult this is.”

Extended Adolescence: When 25 Is the New 18 - Scientific American (Reading Time: 7 Minutes)
“The more likely explanation for this new extended adolescence its relationship to affluence. The analysis found adolescents were more likely to take part in adult activities if they came from larger families or those with lower incomes. This mirrors so-called “life history theory,” the idea exposure to an unpredictable, impoverished environment as a kid leads to faster development whereas children who grow up in a stable environment with more resources tend to have a slower developmental course.”

“The problems you’re experiencing today seem uniquely fraught and important, but that’s mainly because you’re so narrowly focused on the present. This is, of course, the reasoning behind the old suggestion to ask yourself if your worries will matter on your deathbed, or in a decade, or even next week: they probably won’t. But you can do better than “probably”, as the psychology blogger David Cain points out, by turning your gaze backwards rather than forwards. Because it’s an undeniable fact that every single problem you’ve ever had is currently solved, with the exception of today’s small handful.”
