I can't wait to hear your thoughts about Proust....

Well spoken Maria, combining the old and new means of communication.

You keep saying "her work?" I'm sorry, what work?

Interestingness Cross-Pollinated, that is a great description.

This ... "Infected with pathological impatience, we want knowledge, and the true material of knowledge is meaning, and the meaningful is the opposite of the trivial. So the only thing we gain by being impatient, by skimming and skipping ahead is really trivia. The only way to gain knowledge is through contemplation, which takes time, there is no shortcut for the conquest of knowledge. Meaning is what we seek for lives, it just takes time."

She has called Brain Pickings, her invention and labor of love, a “human-powered discovery engine for interestingness.” What Maria Popova really delivers, to hundreds of thousands of people each day, is wisdom of the old-fashioned sort, presented in new-fashioned digital ways. She cross-pollinates — between philosophy and design, physics and poetry, the intellectual and the experiential. We meet Maria Popova at 30, and explore her gleanings, thus far, on what it means to lead a good life — intellectually, creatively, and spiritually.
