EDITOR'S NOTE

Welcome — and thank you for stopping by.

This blog has been my digital home since 2005: a place for slow thought, long-form reflections, and an ongoing attempt to make sense of the world we live in.

In 2026, I’m opening a new chapter.

Here you’ll find essays on current affairs, business, technology and economics — alongside reflections on culture, travel, and the everyday pursuit of the good life. Because living well is not separate from the world: it is lived right in the middle of it.

If you’re new here, these are good places to begin:

• The 365 series - The Best Year of My Life (So Far) - Follow the daily journey

• Selected long reads in Essays  - Deep dives into the big questions of our time

• Profile & Correspondence - Learn more about our vision and get in touch

I welcome thoughtful dialogue — and I hope you’ll enjoy reading as much as I enjoy writing.
