Classic Episode: How Do I Learn Hard Things? | Monday Advice

Deep Questions with Cal Newport, 3 August 2026. The book comes up at 1 hr 2 min in.

Cal Newport read this Wendell Berry essay collection, found in a little free library. He describes it as one of Berry's most famous collections, containing the well-known "Two Economies" essay, and calls Berry the "OG of thinking about intentional living and minimalism" whose influence is visible in writers like Bill McKibben and Michael Pollan. Cal says he enjoyed it and is glad to own it.
