Podcast of the Day: Poured Over: The B&N Podcast – Suleika Jaouad on The Book of Alchemy

Quote of the Day (NY Times): Suleika Jaouad, the memoirist and author of a best seller, “The Book of Alchemy,” was diagnosed with leukemia in her 20s. Last summer, she had a recurrence, and the advice a lot of people offered was to live each day like it was her last. But every time she heard that sentence, she felt an “intense sense of panic,” Ms. Jaouad said. Instead, she explained, she has shifted “to a different mind-set, which is the idea of living every day as if it’s your first — to wake up with a sense of curiosity and wonder and playfulness.” Why “live every day like it’s your last” is terrible advice – Suleika Jaouad
