Here is your Weekly Review, my regular substack - the last of 2022 for me.

Six links and a playlist of music. Go on. It's nearly Christmas🎄

Latest substack piece from me: unpacking what ‘being whole’ means through two images that I’ve discovered in the last year.

The notion of wholeness, or coming to or returning to wholeness is on my mind a lot. It’s in part due to my own therapeutic journey and in another part to my own research into what really matters when it comes to living a full, meaningful life.

@camerontw anecdotal, but friends who worked at apple either left and came back, or ran their own thing (continued the culture? I’d like to think so) I also think the design team was very small for a long time and stayed put for long time too.

@catherinewalshe 👋🏻

@tom sounds like the kind of thing that only exists in the New Town

New substack from me: Have you felt at peace?

I’m researching and exploring existential anxiety, which sounds quite intense (it can be) but it’s also wonderfully liberating.

This piece hangs from my experience talking with a dying woman and her taking meaning at the end of life from quantum physics.

If that’s your bag, subscribe for more!

No matter what your religious or spiritual practices, you can tap into your individual sense of spirit by doing daily “gut-checks” to listen to your intuition and taking quiet downtime to reflect, journal, meditate or pray—whatever helps you feel more connected to yourself.

Glad to hear ‘the transition’ come up again as a descriptor potentially for this age we’re entering (helpful to describe the grand narrative). But the idea around ‘the freedom to care’ was very apt and very useful

I went to the doctor today. Had a physical exam, went through my issues as we talked about the Celtic history of his home region. He then prescribed me manual massage, mud treatment and told me to get a hobby (‘1 hour, every day!’). It felt like being in a Wes Anderson movie

Had the pleasure of meeting Rutger Hauer at a charity do once. He was surprisingly down to earth, and VERY funny.

"The idea of competitive dying may be counterproductive in part because there is no true good death. Or rather, there are millions of them."

What is the long view for palliative and end of life care? How can we think ahead 20-30 years to the next generation who - as we know - are so different from the current parent generation? How can we start to design for those people only in their 40-50s now? Should we?

If we take a long view - say to 2040 - then it will be the Gen X (now 38-58 yo) who will be entering the end of life. What will they want, demand, need? Gen X are far more reactive. Born of 'social ideas and spiritual agendas' ageing into resilient elders...
