About microprinciples

Think of them as local wisdom, little truths that work until they don't, ways to get unstuck, operating instructions for being human.

Why "micro"? Because these aren’t universal laws handed down from a mountaintop. At best they are notes scribbled in the margins of life. Some are borrowed from people smarter than me, or discovered in odd places (like vending machines), or earned in the messy lab of human experience.

Each Wednesday, I send out a new one. Always shorter than a TED talk, usually more useful than a fortune cookie. Consider this a collaborative experiment in finding better metaphors for living.
