Maria Popova on the Power of Kindness and Creative Living

Ultimately, how intelligent a person is, how talented, how creative, how driven can all be completely invalidated if they are not kind.
What does it mean to truly live a life filled with kindness and creativity? In this special episode of 'The One You Feed', host Eric Zimmer sits down with Maria Popova, the brilliant mind behind Brain Pickings. Maria, a writer, blogger, and critic, has captivated millions with her reflections on culture, literature, and the essence of being human. Through their conversation, you'll discover why kindness is not just a virtue but a cornerstone of a meaningful life.
Maria shares seven profound lessons from her years of writing, touching on the importance of changing your mind, the dangers of living on autopilot, and the necessity of idleness for creativity. She also delves into the challenges and rewards of a donation-based model for her work. With her unique blend of wisdom and humor, Maria offers invaluable insights for anyone looking to nurture their 'good wolf' and live a richer, more fulfilling life.
Whether you're a fan of Brain Pickings or new to Maria's work, this episode promises to leave you inspired and thoughtful.
