Thank you for putting together this 5-day reading challenge and curating these thoughtful articles. The inversion thinking concept from the first article was especially interesting - I hadn't heard of that technique before but it makes a lot of sense. Looking forward to applying some of these learnings in my own life and work. Appreciate you sharing your knowledge!
