1. When the Farm Becomes the Town Square

   Imagine inverting the medieval village: instead of fields radiating outward from a walled center, homes encircle a working farm. These "agrihoods" are sprouting across California, placing food production — not parking lots — at the heart of community life. They promise resilience in a warming world: capturing rainwater, cooling scorching pavement, feeding neighbors with arugula harvested within...

2. Reviving the Art of Research

   While Duke University professor Aaron Dinin is teaching entrepreneurship, he actually teaches young people to have a healthier relationship with failure through various oddball challenges— from solving a 1000-piece puzzle in six minutes to trying to beat a nine-year-old at selling cookies.

3. Pursuing Physics Beyond Talent: Wisdom From a Self-Taught 17-Year-Old

   At age three, Prosper Chanda was solving simple algebraic equations. At age ten, he questioned major physics theories and tested methods. “If nothing worked, I closed the book and went for a walk.

4. Beavers Return to Scotland's Glen Affric After 400 Years

   Scotland’s Glen Affric National Nature Reserve, home to ancient Caledonian pine trees, gorgeous lochs, and magnificent hiking trails, is now home to seven beavers, a homecoming for a species that disappeared four centuries ago.

5. A Hitchhiker's Guide to Kindness

   Here is Kevin Kelly — founding executive editor of WIRED, prophet of the digital frontier, a man who has spent decades mapping the trajectory of technology and tomorrow — and yet his most luminous insight comes not from any screen or circuit but from a young man's thumb outstretched on Route 22 in New Jersey, waiting for a ride to a warehouse job, never once arriving late, carried...

6. When I Discovered My Friend Was Actually A Long Lost Sister

   Cassandra Madison grew up in a small town in Connecticut.  She always knew she was adopted from the Dominican Republic; her parents gave her up for adoption because they were poor.  Fast-forward to 2013, and she was 24 and working in a restaurant in New Haven. One day, one of her co- workers, Julia, noticed her Dominican Republic flag tattoo. They discovered they were both adopted...

   In Antsirabe, Madagascar, rickshaw drivers who pull cycles or carts by hand for less than £3 a day are outrunning elite athletes in international ultra-marathons. They train in secondhand shoes and are guided by a French club president who believes potential has nothing to do with privilege.

8. Is This the Most Radical School Ever Built?

   When Sean Tevlin arrived at The Group School in 1970s Cambridge, he was a working-class dropout with a learning disability diagnosis and little hope -- but the converted garage on Franklin Street operated on a radical premise: that students damaged by traditional education could heal when given dignity, voice and genuine partnership in their own learning. Between 1971 and 1982, over 600...

9. Real Leadership Lessons from Horses

   Jennifer Schramm engaged with horses to lead behavior change. Along the way, horses led Jennifer to coherence. “Humans are predators by design. We focus, plan, and act. Horses are prey animals. They survive by sensing, attuning, and reading the field around them.” After failed attempts to control them led to frustration and anxiety, Jennifer realized the horses were mirroring her...

10. How Do We Rebuild Trust?

    Abby Falik explores trust beginning with the very young who learn to trust authority, test scores, and approval “to override our inner knowing before we even know it’s there.” Modernity tells us we can control and trust the certainty of metrics, titles, credentials, authority, instant answers – what’s legible, the map over the territory. But trust is fraying such...
