[video available on spotify] when i sit and analyze the most fulfilling times of my life, i notice a lot of patterns. one thing that stands out is that
during fulfilling times, i tend to have a healthy amount of self-discipline that helps create stability and joy in my life. in my own words, i think having discipline is striving towards an ultimate goal that feels worthy to you, and striving to be the best person you can be. but if discipline were as easy to master as just forcing yourself to do what's right and forcing yourself to take the steps to reach your ultimate goal, then we would have nothing more to talk about. discipline is complicated because not only is it challenging to cultivate in the first place, but just as much as we need to have discipline, we also need to treat ourselves gently and with compassion. and finding that balance is a challenge in and of itself.

George Saunders joins Deborah Treisman to read and discuss “So Late in the Day,” by Claire Keegan, which was published in The New Yorker in 2022. Saunders is the author of the novel “Lincoln in the Bardo,” and five story collections, including “Tenth of December” and “Liberation Day,” which came out last year.

The New Yorker staff writers <a href="https://www.newyorker.com/contributors/susan-b-glasser">Susan B. Glasser</a>, <a href="https://www.newyorker.com/contributors/jane-mayer">Jane Mayer</a>, and <a href="https://www.newyorker.com/contributors/evan-osnos">Evan Osnos</a> take a look at the political and financial forces behind the U.S. Supreme Court’s hard right turn. This term saw significant rulings on <a href="https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2023/07/10/the-end-of-affirmative-action">affirmative action</a> in college admissions, election law, immigration, and <a href="https://www.newyorker.com/news/daily-comment/the-supreme-court-tries-to-overrule-the-climate">environmental protection</a>, all in the shadow of the decision just one year ago to <a href="https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2022/07/04/we-are-not-going-back-to-the-time-before-roe-we-are-going-somewhere-worse">overturn the constitutional right to an abortion</a>. Right-wing victories in those cases owe a lot to Leonard Leo, a conservative activist and lawyer who has played a profound role in reshaping the American legal system. With public approval of the Supreme Court at an all-time low, our political roundtable takes a look at Leo’s influence, and at the recent $1.6-billion donation his new nonprofit received.

The Supreme Court decision to strike down race-based college admissions didn’t come as a surprise to many. Today, we examine the economic ripple effects the decision could have, shrinking the talent pipeline for businesses and making U.S. companies less competitive internationally. Plus, the Federal Reserve could use an infrastructure upgrade and what the Barbie Dreamhouse reveals about American culture and real estate.

The business impact of today’s affirmative action ruling

Ali Allen takes Clare for a sunny hike just outside Kington, a town she would like to be renamed 'WalKington' because it's such a magnet for ramblers.

Ali runs a tiny walking shop where her dog, Roo, keeps a look out from the window display full of boots and socks and maps.  She lived in Utah for thirty years, working as a nurse, but returned six years ago with no firm plan.  Somehow she landed in the tiny town of Kington in Herefordshire where she opened her shop which now has a B&B above it, mostly serving ramblers trekking along Offa's Dyke.   On today's walk she leads Clare up Bradnor Hill - crossing the highest 18 hole golf course in England  - and onto a stretch of Offa's Dyke.   On the way she shares her story of life and love in Utah, making a home back in the UK, and coping with rheumatoid arthritis which, despite the problems it causes, doesn't stop her outdoor adventures.

Joe Eszterhas’s tenure as the hottest screenwriter in town ended with two notorious 1995 flops: the NC-17 rated Showgirls (directed, like Basic Instinct, by Paul Verhoeven) and Jade (produced, like Sliver, by Robert Evans), We’ll analyze why these films failed to connect with audiences in 1995, and, more importantly, why the media at the time seized on them as major embarrassments for the industry.

For tonight's bedtime storytelling, I will be reading Chapter 1 from Volume 1 of  the Maida Book Series called  Maida’s Little Shop. This gentle story by Inez Haynes Irwin was published in 1909 and is about a sweet little girl named Maida who is sickly and lame. Her father is well known to be one of the wealthiest men in America. He decides to buy her a little shop in Charlestown Massachusetts, to give her a purpose and to help restore her health. However, he has one condition, that she not tell anyone who she is or who her father is. And for the first time in her life...Maida makes wonderful new friends because they think she is just an ordinary girl.   I hope you enjoy this charming bedtime story and I wish you a peaceful night's rest!
