1Q84 es una obra monumental que combina realismo mágico, romance y thriller en un tapiz narrativo que desafía las convenciones de la realidad. Murakami crea un mundo donde el amor, el destino y la narrativa se entrelazan, invitando al lector a cuestionar la naturaleza de la existencia. Su análisis psicológico y social, junto con su estilo hipnótico, la convierten en una experiencia inmersiva que trasciende su contexto japonés. Aunque su longitud y ambigüedad pueden dividir opiniones, es un testimonio del poder de la literatura para explorar lo inefable.AVISO LEGAL: Los cuentos, poemas, fragmentos de novelas, ensayos y todo contenido literario que aparece en Crónicas Lunares di Sun podrían estar protegidos por derecho de autor (copyright).

Beloved, For those on a spiritual journey, it's natural to seek a grander version of self. But the relentless pursuit of "becoming" can prevent us from fully appreciating who we are right now.The truth is, we are always works in progress, with no final version waiting at the summit. The key is to embrace the duality, the reality of “balance” and desiring growth while also finding contentment in the present moment.The work of finding joy, balance and purpose is not to bypass the darkness but to recognize it as fertile ground. Something is forming here, even if it has not yet taken shape.We do not think our way into alignment. We feel our way into it. This concept of “balance” has always been a anomaly to me. It's a common struggle, and the guilt can feel overwhelming.But there's a powerful energetic shift that can help you overcome this feeling and embrace rest without remorse.ANDAlso understand that “BALANCE” is a myth. Let's address the myth first. Work-life balance? It's a deeply personal matter. While some view it as unattainable, my perspective is that everyone crafts their own version of work-life balance.Balance doesn't mean equal division, but rather intentionally prioritizing what's most important to you in each season of life. It's a dynamic process of reassessing your needs and boundaries to find a sustainable rhythm.Ultimately, balance is about self-awareness and the courage to define success on your own terms. It's not about following a universal formula, but about honoring your unique values and circumstances. The key is to remain flexible and continuously adapt as your life evolves.Now to one of my favorite books about THE GAP (Balance).It's called The Gap and The Gain, a concept from Dan Sullivan that's a game-changer for how you view progress in your life and business.The Gap vs. The GainMost of us are wired to focus on The Gap—the distance between where we are and where we want to be.It's a cultural default.We set goals, chase milestones, and measure success by what's still out of reach.The problem? The finish line keeps moving.No matter how much you achieve, there's always a new goal, a new benchmark.This creates a cycle of dissatisfaction, where you're never “enough.”You push harder, work longer, and still feel like you're falling short.That guilt about taking time off? It often stems from this mindset—you feel like you haven't earned rest because you're not “there” yet.Now, imagine flipping that perspective.Instead of looking at the gap ahead, turn around and focus on The Gain—how far you've come.A POV of BETWEEN THE GAP: * Eliminate, Bypass, Reframe, or Neutralize Barriers:* Address obstacles (e.g., perfectionism, fear of failure, limiting beliefs) that prevent you from adopting a new stage.* Actions:* Reframe: View perfectionism as a learning opportunity (e.g., “My first draft doesn't need to be perfect”).* Bypass: Start small to avoid overwhelm * Neutralize: Challenge limiting beliefs * Use AI to brainstorm solutions tailored to your barriers.* Example: If fear of embarrassment stops you from starting a project, reframe it as: “Embarrassing first attempts are how I improve.”SMALL WINS BRING RELIEF IN EACH MOMENT - UNCONSCIOUSLYWhen you measure your progress by where you started, you start to see your wins, big and small.You appreciate the growth, the effort, and the moments of joy along the way.Being in The Gain is about celebrating progress daily, no matter how small.A Daily Practice: Celebrate Three WinsHere's a practical way to embrace The Gain: at the end of each day, reflect on three specific wins.They don't have to be monumental.Maybe you had a great client call, shared a laugh with your team, or simply enjoyed a good song in the car.Even on tough days, there's something to celebrate—a moment of gratitude, a kind interaction, or a small step forward.By focusing on these wins, you train your brain to see progress, not perfection.This practice rewires how you approach your day.Stop When You Still Have EnergyAnother powerful idea comes from one of my favorite authors, Haruki Murakami.In his book What I Talk About When I Talk About Running, he compares writing to running.He explains that he stops writing each day when he still has energy left.Why? So he wakes up eager to create again.This is a stark contrast to our culture's “bigger, better, faster, more” mentality, where we're taught to give everything we've got, every single day.Pushing yourself to exhaustion creates a deficit.You start each day running on empty, which fuels guilt about taking time to rest and recharge.Instead, try logging off when you still have a little fuel in the tank.This small act preserves your energy and sets you up for sustainable success.You'll wake up with more to give, and rest will feel like a natural part of the process, not a reward you have to earn.My Own Journey with GuiltI'll be honest—this was a big struggle for me.Last year I thought getting a animal in my life - THEN I would slow down. #False I'm a hard worker, driven and ambitious, and for years, I ignored my own needs.I'd push through exhaustion, prioritizing work over everything else.My body's signals—fatigue, stress, burnout—had to scream before I'd listen.But now I have a different point of view, without judgement. I've learned that my life is one of continual progress of integration and allowing my truth of “EVERY MOMENT OF MY LIFE IS ALIGNING WITH MY CALLING.” And I get to be ok with that. I love “work” because my spirit guides and higher soul is VERY CLEAR on my mission on earth. It's about exploration, experience, and evolution.Purpose is part of that.I'm finding joy and celebrating small wins daily and listening to what I need to stay sustainable.And you know what? It's transformed how I show up in my work and my life.I'm more present, more creative, and more fulfilled.Rewire Your Mindset for SustainabilityWhen you shift from The Gap to The Gain, you start to see rest as essential, not optional.By celebrating daily wins and stopping when you still have energy, you rewire that inner dialogue.Guilt fades, replaced by the recognition that rest is part of what fuels your big work in the world.You're not just squeezing out every ounce of energy—you're building a sustainable way to keep going, day after day.Tips to start:* Practice The Gain: At the end of each day, write down three wins.They can be small, but they matter.* Log Off Early: Stop working when you still have energy left.Protect your fuel for tomorrow.* Honor Your Needs: Listen to your body and prioritize what brings you joy.Rest is part of growth.* Celebrate Progress: Recognize that you're always evolving.Every day is a win, no matter how small.Your North Star: Fulfillment, Stewardship and SustainabilityWhen you focus on The Gain, you shift from pain to progress.You stop chasing an ever-moving finish line and start cherishing the journey.You earn your time of release and rest—not because you've hit some impossible milestone, but because you've shown up, grown, and lived.Whether you're spending your evening with family, friends, or a good book, you can be all in, knowing you deserve it.So, if you're feeling guilty about taking time off, try this: shift from The Gap to The Gain.Celebrate your wins, stop when you have energy left, and prioritize sustainability over exhaustion.You'll not only feel better—you'll do better, in business and in life.What's one win you're celebrating today? Drop it in the comments, and let's keep the conversation going! You're the artist of your life. You get to decide whether or not work-life balance is a myth or reality.To me, it's a moot point. I create reality.“The key to balancing work and life is finding something that you love to do, and making it work for you”The work is not to bypass the darkness but to recognize it as fertile ground. Something is forming here, even if it has not yet taken shape.We do not think our way into alignment. We feel our way into it.Emotion becomes the compass. The ache in your chest might be pointing toward what matters. The tension might be a boundary asking to be named. The joy might be revealing what is meant for you. The longing might be showing you what is real.These feelings are not distractions from your path. They are the path.If you are in the dark, you are not behind. You are not broken. You are not lost. You are in it. You are exploring the shape of what comes next. You already hold the way forward within you, and I'm always here to help you walk the path with conscious confidence and clarity.

Review of:  The City and Its Uncertain Walls, by Haruki Murakami Reviewed by Stan Prager, Regarp Book Blog, www.regarp.com

Quand on y pense, le succès de Haruki Murakami a quelque chose d'étonnant. Prenez son dernier livre, La cité aux murs incertains, par exemple. Un sacré pavé de 550 pages, une narration contemplative qui laisse la part belle à la description, une intrigue sans queue ni tête où on doit laisser tomber toutes nos certitudes, des thèmes déjà travaillés à foison dans le reste de l'oeuvre de l'auteur… Comment l'écrivain japonais a-t-il réussi à charmer un lectorat international avec une oeuvre tout de même pas des plus accessibles ? C'est la question à laquelle Léa et Juliette de Torchon tentent de répondre dans cet épisode. Nous avons eu deux lectures différentes : quand Juliette connaît bien l'oeuvre de Murakami et y revient avec beaucoup de plaisir, Léa découvre totalement son univers. Mais on en ressort (pour une fois !) avec une critique globalement positive. Peut-être que notre goût pour les univers parallèles et le réalisme magique nous perdra… En tout cas, si un jour un fantôme décide de nous contacter, nous sommes prêtes !

Marc Levy est LE nom de la littérature populaire, il fallait qu'on en parle dans Torchon depuis bien trop longtemps ! Pourtant, pour la première fois depuis 2004, Marc Levy n'était pas dans le top 10 des auteurs francophones en 2024, évincé par des nouvelles venues, comme Morgane Moncomble ou Sarah Rivens. Il revient en 2025 avec La librairie des livres interdits, un livre qui parle de liberté d'expression, de censure, et de résistance. Pour des amoureux des livres et de la liberté comme nous, ça ne pouvait que nous parler ! Mais malheureusement, si le thème nous inspire, la réalisation beaucoup moins. Si on enlève la composante "comédie romantique" à l'oeuvre dans tous les livres de Marc Levy, il reste un livre politique qui ressasse des idées un peu préconçues sur le pouvoir de la littérature et un livre de vengeance avec un héros un peu médiocre et mou...Autres oeuvres citées : Marc, Benjamin Stock, 2024, Rue FromentinOù es-tu, Marc Levy 2001, Robert Laffont 1Q84, Haruki Murakami, 2009, 10-181984, Georges Orwell, 1949 L'Odyssée, HomèreLa lecture: Valeur et déterminants d'une pratique, Cécile Barth-Rabot, 2023, Armand Colin La Bande originale, « Marc Levy pour "La librairie des livres interdits » », France Inter, 22 novembre 2024https://www.radiofrance.fr/franceinter/podcasts/la-bande-originale/la-bande-originale-du-vendredi-22-novembre-2024-9561580Crime et châtiment, Dostoievski, 1867Liste des livres interdits aux US, par PEN America : https://pen.org/banned-books-list-2025/Le Portrait de Dorian Gray, Oscar Wilde, 1890Le Père Goriot, Honoré de Balzac, 1835 Sodome et Gomorrhe, Marcel Proust, 1921La Chambre de Giovanni, James Baldwin, 1956 Looking for Alaska (Qui es-tu Alaska), John Green, 2011, Gallimard JeuneThe Perks of being a wallflower (Le Monde de Charlie), Stephen Chbosky, 1999La vie de Jésus, Ernest Renan, 1863, Calmann-LevyEt si c'était vrai, Marc Levy, 2000, Robert LaffontSuicide mode d'emploi, Claude Guillon et Yves le Bonniec, 1982, Alain Moreau Affaire sensible "Suicide mode d'emploi" : le livre interdit, France Inter, 28 février 2024 https://www.radiofrance.fr/franceinter/podcasts/affaires-sensibles/affaires-sensibles-du-mercredi-28-fevrier-2024-1923661Les services compétents, Iegor Gran, 2020, P.O.LLa bave du crapeau, Denis Ramond, 2018, L'ObservatoireDistribué par Audiomeans.

Dans le roman “Le passage de la nuit” publié en 2004, le grand romancier japonais Haruki Murakami nous emmène à la rencontre des jeunes vivant la nuit, en marge de la société. Ses personnages font le choix de s'éloigner d'une société conformiste rythmée par la productivité. Comme souvent chez Murakami, ce roman est le reflet de la société japonaise. Dans la réalité, cet isolement volontaire est un phénomène massif, presque épidémique au Japon. Dans les cas les plus extrêmes, ces jeunes ne mettent pas un pied dehors pendant des années et ce sont leurs parents qui leur apportent à manger. Ils peuvent vivre la nuit, négliger leur santé et leur hygiène et se couper du monde des études et du travail. On les appelle les hikikomoris. Mais qu'est-ce que ce syndrome exactement ? Et touche-t-il seulement le japon? Que faire pour aider les hikikomoris ? Écoutez la suite de cet épisode de "Maintenant vous savez". Un podcast Bababam Originals, écrit et réalisé par Antonella Francini. À écouter aussi : Comment le papier toilette permet-il de lutter contre le suicide au Japon ?

Did you get your photo taken with Rabbit the Bookstore Cat Cutout? If not, you probably missed our 5th Birthday Party. Too bad. But not worries: There will be more parties. This week, Sam is caught up in the new Haruki Murakami, but Hannah luckily has three books to talk about, so it's not a disaster. Here's the lineup: - "Fourth Wing," by Rebecca Yarros — Hannah's been saving it and it reminds her of the time we discovered Philip Pullman (but, no, it's not that good). Perfect vacation reading. - "The City and Its Uncertain Walls," by Haruki Murakami — Sam is wondering if Haruki is trolling us at this point. Cats! Spaghetti! A record store! Teenage girls! But it's still oddly compelling.  - "The Collaborators," by Michael Idov — Hannah thought this was pretty good. It's international espionage. With Russia. It's just not always clear why we're supposed to care.  - "The Harder I Fight, the More I Love You," by Neko Case — Hannah is highly enamored of this, and doesn't think it matters if you can name a song by her. Some messed up shit happens in Neko's life.  Also, no, we didn't get our act together to post this in time for Valentine's Day. It's nobody's fault. 

As scheduling changes are made to ITV soaps Coronation Street and Emmerdale, and as the 40th anniversary of EastEnders is celebrated with a live special on BBC One, how is the future looking for continuing drama on TV? Former Executive Producer of EastEnders John Yorke and Entertainment Journalist Emma Bullimore discuss the impact of the audience's viewing habits on commissioning. Renowned Irish novelist Joseph O'Connor talks about his latest historical book, The Ghosts of Rome, a story of heroism set in Italy during World War Two. And we hear about Vanishing Point theatre company's stage adaptation of acclaimed writer Haruki Murakami's short stories Confessions of a Shinagawa Monkey, which is a co-production with the Kanagawa Arts Theatre of Japan. Presenter: Kirsty Wark Producer: Mark Crossan

It won't take long, maybe a few pages, before ardent Haruki Murakami fans experience a sense of deja vu reading The City and Its Uncertain Walls, as if they've visited this place before. Which should be expected as his latest novel reworks not just 1985's ‘Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World', but also ‘The Town and Its Uncertain Wall', a 1980 novella that remains untranslated from the original Japanese (and likely will, given Murakami's dissatisfaction with it).

Host Meg Wolitzer presents two stories in which some things are saved and some are left behind. In Haruki Murakami's “Lederhosen,” performed by Aasif Mandvi, the traditional German shorts become a singular obsession for one half of a married couple. In Elizabeth McCracken's “Robinson Crusoe at the Waterpark,” a couple and their son find themselves in over their heads. Mike Doyle is the reader.

Rachel and Simon speak with the literary agent Clare Alexander. For the first portion of her career she worked in publishing, starting out in 1973 in the rights department at Penguin; after stints at Hamish Hamilton and Viking she became editor-in-chief of Macmillan and Picador. Clare published first novels by Helen Dunmore, Alex Garland, Amitav Ghosh, Haruki Murakami and Donna Tartt. In 1995, while at Viking, she was the editor of the winners of the Booker Prize, the Orange Prize (now the Women's Prize) and the Whitbread Award (the erstwhile Costa Book Awards) - the first editor ever to achieve this hat-trick. In 1998 Clare became a literary agent. Her client list includes Diana Evans, Helen Fielding, Armando Iannucci, Nicholas Shakespeare, Rory Stewart and Colin Thubron. We spoke to Clare about her early career as an editor, becoming an agent in the late 1990s, and working with authors including Pat Barker, Mark Haddon and Sebastian Faulks. A new edition of “Always Take Notes: Advice From Some Of The World's Greatest Writers” - a book drawing on our podcast interviews - is available now. The updated version now includes insights from over 100 past guests on the podcast, with new contributions from Harlan Coben, Victoria Hislop, Lee Child, Megan Nolan, Jhumpa Lahiri, Philippa Gregory, Jo Nesbø, Paul Theroux, Hisham Matar and Bettany Hughes.

Kitap Kulübü'müzün 48inci buluşmasında Haruki Murakami'nin “Ortadan Kaybolan Fil” adlı kitabını konuştuk.Murakami 1949 Kyoto doğumlu. Çocukluğundan itibaren Batı kültürünün etkisi altında bir yaşam sürüyor. Avrupalı yazar ve müzisyenleri takip ediyor, Rus edebiyatı ve müziği de dahil. Gençliğinde bir plak dükkanında çalışıyor, sonra eşiyle birlikte açtıkları “Peter Cat” adında bir kafe ve caz kulübü işletmeciliği yapıyor. 1986-1995 yılları arasında ise Amerika'da yaşıyor. Aynı zamanda bir koşu meraklısı, 1996'da Japonya'da 100kmlik ilk ultramaratonunu koşuyor.Yani oldukça sıra dışı bir kişilik. Ülkesinde, Amerikan kültürünün etkisi altında kaldığı ve aşırı Batıcı olduğu eleştirilerine maruz kalıyor, fakat yine de Japonya'nın XX. yüzyıldaki en büyük yazarlarından biri olarak kabul ediliyor. İsmi son on yıldır Nobel'le de anılıyor ama kendisinin ifadelerinden de ödüllere mesafeli olduğunu öğreniyoruz.Kitap yazarın erken dönem hikayelerinden bir seçki sunuyor. Hayal ile gerçeklik arasındaki sınırları bulanık üslubu ile Japon modern hayatından insan manzaralarını işliyor. Kendine has bir mizah anlayışı ve derinlikli bir anlatımı var. Ama açık söylemek gerekirse konuları işleyiş tarzı bazılarımız tarafından cinsiyetçi ve rahatsız edici bulunmuş. Cinsiyetçilik ve kadın düşmanlığı kendisine yöneltilen eleştirilerden. Murakami bunu reddediyor ve karakterlerini öykünün ihtiyaçlarına göre oluşturduğunu sosyal bir eleştiri amacı gütmediğini ifade ediyor röportajlarında.Benim de okuduğum ilk Murakami eseri, özellikle romanlarını okumuş olanların, yazar ve eserleri hakkında daha olumlu bir izlenime sahip olduklarını anlıyorum konuşmalarımızdan. Murakami okumaya başlamak için çok uygun bir eser olmayabilir doğrusu.Bu bölümde görüşlerine yer verebildiğim arkadaşlarım(02:24) Feyza Demir, (05:48) Elif Burcu Yılmaz, (07:18) Elif Ceylan, (09:22) Uğur İyidoğan, (11:11) Aydan İrem Sungur, (13:30) Olcay Çat, (16:07) Ömer Tural, (19:46) Halime Özben Hacı, (22:00) Olcay Çat, (23:20) Hatice Engin, (24:44) Mürsel Çavuş, (28:33) Suat Soy, (29:54) Mustafa Pancarcı, (31:30) Feyza Demir, (32:23) Mürsel Çavuş, (33:10) Mete YurtseverSupport the show

Once again, the release of a newly translated book from Keigo Higashino, perhaps the most popular living writer in Japan, is released within the same window as the most celebrated Japanese writer outside of Japan, Haruki Murakami. I'm not implying a rivalry between the two, but Invisible Helix, the latest in Higashino's Detective Galileo series, arrives just weeks after Murakami's The City and Its Uncertain Walls.

Bienvenidos a otro Podcast de TERRAESCRIBIENTE! En esta ocasión tendremos otro libro de Literatura Universal. "CRÓNICA DEL PÁJARO QUE DA CUERDA AL MUNDO " - HARUKI MURAKAMI Parte 4. Sinopsis de CRONICA DEL PAJARO QUE DA CUERDA AL MUNDO «Desde una arboleda cercana llegaba el chirrido regular de un pájaro, un ric-ric, como si estuvieradándole cuerda a algún mecanismo. Nosotros hablábamos de él como del pájaro-que-da-cuerda…» Haruki Murakami es uno de los novelistas japoneses contemporáneos con mayor prestigio en su país. Pero hablar aquí de literatura japonesa sugiere siempre un mundo exótico, ajeno por completo al nuestro. Sin embargo, Murakami no sólo está considerado ya en Occidente un autor de culto, sino que su extensa obra narrativa ha roto fronteras y la crítica mundial lo sitúa entre Mishima y Pynchon. Era, pues, imprescindible darle a conocer definitivamente también en nuestra lengua. Tooru Okada, un joven japonés que acaba de dejar voluntariamente su trabajo en un bufete de abogados, recibe un buen día la llamada anónima de una mujer. A partir de ese momento la vida de Tooru, que había transcurrido por los cauces de la más absoluta normalidad, empieza a sufrir una extraña transformación. A su alrededor van apareciendo personajes cada vez más extraños, y la realidad, o lo real, va degradándose hasta convertirse en algo fantasmagórico. La percepción del mundo se vuelve mágica, los sueños son realidad y, poco a poco, Tooru Okada deberá resolver los conflictos que, sin sospecharlo siquiera, ha arrastrado a lo largo de toda su vida. Crónica del pájaro que da cuerda al mundo pinta una galería de personajes tan sorprendentes como profundamente reales. El mundo cotidiano del Japón moderno se nos aparece de pronto como algo extrañamente familiar.

Lexy Bloom first read Haruki Murakami in the '90s, when she picked up A Wild Sheep Chase. At that point, not much of the Japanese author's work had been published in English. But Bloom often read his stories in The New Yorker, trying to guess which of his three translators had worked on each one. Bloom, who is now a senior editor at Knopf, began to edit Murakami's English translations years later, starting with 1Q84. Now, Murakami has a new novel out, The City and Its Uncertain Walls, a revision of an earlier novella. In today's episode, Bloom joins NPR's Andrew Limbong for a discussion that touches on what it's like to collaborate with Murakami, feminist critiques of the author's female characters, and reading the author's work through a Western lens.To listen to Book of the Day sponsor-free and support NPR's book coverage, sign up for Book of the Day+ at plus.npr.org/bookofthedayLearn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

Diving into the life and greatness of writer and runner Haruki Murakami from his book, What I Talk About When I Talk About Running-----“I didn't start running because somebody asked me to become a runner. Just like I didn't become a novelist because someone asked me to. One day, out of the blue, I wanted to write a novel. And one day, out of the blue, I started to run— simply because I wanted to. I've always done whatever I felt like doing in life. People may try to stop me, and convince me I'm wrong, but I won't change.”- Haruki Murakami1:15 - Follow your instincts8:45- Life responds to subtraction10:05- Becoming a writer/pursuing the itch11:45 - A framework for big decisions 14:45 - The key to willpower and discipline17:45 - Daily routine + choose your consequences 19:50 - Leave some juice in the tank21:15 - Marathons and personal responsibility 26:00 - Have a motto/mantra29:45 - Running and writing advice for life31:45 - How to do great work36:10 - Lesson/Takeaways-----You can check out my book, website, and apparel below: WebsiteBook: Chasing Greatness: Timeless Stories on the Pursuit of Excellence  ApparelInstagramX

Sam Anderson is a master of the essay form whose work spans a huge range of human experience and culture.  As a staff writer for The New York Times Magazine, Sam has interviewed and written about Weird Al Yankovic, writer John McPhee, NBA point guard Russell Westbrook, travel guru Rick Steves, Japanese novelist Haruki Murakami and the people trying to rescue Michaelanelo's David sculpture from ruin. He has spent time with the last two white rhinos on Earth and visited the bat volcano in Calakmul, Mexico. And he wrote a book, Boom Town, about Oklahoma City which is both a profile of one Midwestern municipality and a meditation on the dueling forces of rapacious development and “place making” that are at war in every American city, including Beacon.  In each of his projects, Sam brings a trademark personal touch, situating himself in relation to his subjects with a disarming vulnerability. He weaves in his anxiety, depression, his body image, feelings of loss and fear of death through introspective asides that illuminate rather than upstage his subjects.  In our interview, Sam talks about his early ambition to be a writer, his creative process, animals, aging, drawing, strategies for overcoming depression and much more.  

To the lighting designer Lindsey Adelman, light is at once ubiquitous and precious, quotidian yet miraculous; it can be easily overlooked or taken for granted, but it also has the potential to become transformative or even otherworldly. Through her craft-forward approach, Adelman creates pieces that defy strict labels and explore the tensions between organic and industrial forms and materials, combining hand-blown glass with industrial and machine-milled components. Since launching her eponymous company in 2006, she has built a formidable business, perhaps becoming best known for her Branching Bubble chandeliers, a series that consists of glass “bubbles” elegantly mounted on the ends of brass, bronze, or nickel “branches.” Adelman also runs an experimental space called LaLAB as a means of exploring and meditating on illumination through the creation of one-off and limited-edition pieces, as well as private commissions.On the episode, she discusses her recent decision to shift her company away from a large-scale production operation and toward a smaller, more intimate “studio” model; the great surprise of having one of her designs installed in Vice President Kamala Harris's Washington, D.C., home; and her love of hosting.Special thanks to our Season 10 presenting sponsor, L'École, School of Jewelry Arts.Show notes:Lindsey Adelman[6:05] Ingo Maurer[6:05] Gaetano Pesce[7:55] Burst Chandelier[12:22] “A Realm of Light”[14:55] Isamu Noguchi's Akari light sculptures[17:20] Yosemite National Park[18:41] James Turrell[18:41] House of Light[20:47] Noguchi's “Lunar Infant”[24:40] Writings by Agnes Martin[26:52] Hiroshi Sugimoto[27:46] David Lynch[29:08] “Paul McCarthy: WS”[29:08] Matthew Barney[30:54] Haruki Murakami[33:14] “A Cacao Ceremony That Brought Close Friends Even Closer”[48:13] Branching Bubble chandelier[48:13] Buckminster Fuller[52:01] Adelman's open-source D.I.Y. light project[52:30] David Weeks[52:30] Lunette[52:46] “The Lighting Designer From Everyone's Dream Brooklyn Brownstone”[52:46] Rich People Problems[52:46] Gwyneth Paltrow

Meg Wolitzer presents two favorite Selected Shorts works in which food and nourishment figure both literally and symbolically.  The narrator of Haruki Murakami's “The Year of Spaghetti” seems to be just sharing pasta recipes, but it's the recipe for assuaging loneliness that may elude him.  The reader is Sopranos alum Michael Imperioli.  And unusual family dynamics shape Amy Bloom's “Love is Not a Pie,” performed by Hope Davis.  We also share a discussion of this work by the mother and daughter book club organized by our frequent reader Rita Wolf and her daughter Anjeli.

Meg Wolitzer presents a show of stories about our need to have “proof of love”—some demonstration by those nearest and dearest of exactly how much they care.  A lot, in Etgar Keret's sweetly improbable “Almost Everything,” in which a husband looks for the perfect gift for a demanding wife.  It's read by Liev Schreiber.  In Jacob Guajardo's “Conquistadors, on Fairchild,” read by Michael Hartney, old flames reconnect, but it's not clear where they are headed.And in a classic from our archives, Haruki Murakami's “Ice Man,” a shy woman marries a man who carries winter within and without.  Jane Curtin is the reader.

The book that put Murakami on the map in Japan is an intimate tale about youth, love, sex, and grief.

What I learned from reading What I Talk About When I Talk About Running: A Memoir by Haruki Murakami. ----Founders Notes gives you the superpower to learn from history's greatest entrepreneurs on demand. You can search all my notes and highlights from every book I've ever read for the podcast. Get access to Founders Notes here. ----Build relationships with other founders, investors, and executives at a Founders Event----(3:01) No matter how mundane some action might appear, keep at it long enough and it becomes a contemplative, even meditative act.(4:00) Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional.(4:00) The hurt part is an unavoidable reality, but whether or not you can stand anymore is up to the runner himself.(10:00) You can't fake passion — someone else, that really loves the job, will out run you. Somebody else sitting in some other MBA program has a deep passion for whatever career path you're going down, and they are going to smoke you if you don't have it yourself.  — Runnin' Down a Dream: How to Succeed and Thrive in a Career You Love (12:00) What's crucial is whether your writing attains the standards you've set for yourself. Failure to reach that bar is not something you can easily explain away.(14:00) Big ideas come from the unconscious. This is true in art, in science and in advertising. But your unconscious has to be well informed, or your idea will be irrelevant. Stuff your conscious mind with information, then unhook your rational thought process. You can help this process by going for a long walk, or taking a hot bath, or drinking half a pint of claret. Suddenly, if the telephone line from your unconscious is open, a big idea wells up within you.  — David Ogilvy(16:00) If you absolutely can't tolerate critics, then don't do anything new or interesting. — Jeff Bezos(16:00) So the fact that I'm me and no one else is one of my greatest assets.(19:00) Failure was not an option. I had to give it everything I had.(19:00) My only strength has always been the fact that I work hard and can take a lot physically. I'm more a workhorse than a racehorse.(22:00) I was more interested in having finished it than in whether or not it would ever see the light of day.(26:00) I'm the kind of person who has to totally commit to whatever I do.(29:00) The entrenched professional is always going to resist far longer than the private consumer. — James Dyson(34:00) You really need to prioritize in life, figuring out in what order you should divide up your time and energy. If you don't get that sort of system set by a certain age, you'll lack focus and your life will be out of balance. I placed the highest priority on the sort of life that lets me focus on writing,(37:00) You can't please everybody. If one out of ten enjoyed the place and said he'd come again, that was enough. If one out of ten was a repeat customer, then the business would survive. To put it the other way, it didn't matter if nine out of ten didn't like my bar. This realization lifted a weight off my shoulders. Still, I had to make sure that the one person who did like the place really liked it. In order to make sure he did, I had to make my philosophy and stance clear-cut, and patiently maintain that stance no matter what. This is what I learned through running a business.(40:00) The reason we're surprised is that we underestimate the cumulative effect of work. Writing a page a day doesn't sound like much, but if you do it every day you'll write a book a year. That's the key: consistency. People who do great things don't get a lot done every day. They get something done, rather than nothing. — How To Do Great Work by Paul Graham. (Founders #314)(41:00) When you follow what you are intensely interested in this strange convergence happens where you're working all the time and it feels like you're never working. — How To Do Great Work by Paul Graham. (Founders #314)(43:00) No matter how strong a will a person has, no matter how much he may hate to lose, if it's an activity he doesn't really care for, he won't keep it up for long.(44:00) Nobody ever recommended or even desired that I be a novelist—in fact, some tried to stop me. I had the idea to be one, and that's what I did.(45:00) I decided who I want to be, and that is who I am. — Coco Chanel(46:00) Once, I interviewed an Olympic runner.  I asked him, “Does a runner at your level ever feel like you'd rather not run today, like you don't want to run and would rather just sleep in?” He stared at me and then, in a voice that made it abundantly clear how stupid he thought the question was, replied, “Of course. All the time!”(47:00) I pity the poor fellow who is so soft and flabby that he must always have "an atmosphere of good feeling" around him before he can do his work. There are such men. And in the end, unless they obtain enough mental and moral hardiness to lift them out of their soft reliance on "feeling," they are failures. Not only are they business failures; they are character failures also; it is as if their bones never attained a sufficient degree of hardness to enable them to stand on their own feet. There is altogether too much reliance on good feeling in our business organizations. —  Henry Ford's Autobiography(50:00) If I used being busy as an excuse not to run, I'd never run again.(51:00) Focus and endurance can be acquired and sharpened through training.(54:00) Exerting yourself to the fullest within your individual limits: that's the essence of running, and a metaphor for life.----“I have listened to every episode released and look forward to every episode that comes out.
