Wonder Thinking – Make Life Astounding (Again)
When was the last time you felt a sense of wonder? The kind you felt as a kid?
If you are like me, it’s probably been a long time.
This is my effort to change that.
I’m Mark McGuire. I’ve made my career as an entrepreneur, but I spent the past year of COVID isolation working on a different project. An effort to reclaim something I lost without realizing it.
My sense of wonder.
I didn’t need to leave my house—or my normal life—to find wonder. All I had to do was unpack elements of modern life that surround us. The genius, hidden complexities that we forgot how to enjoy (or even notice).
I want to share these everyday wonders with you.
Subscribe and I’ll send you a new wonder topic every weekend for the next several months (and maybe longer). I’ve spent 100’s of hours on these topics, but each one will only take you around 5 minutes to read.
Rekindling your sense of wonder can make you a more curious, intelligent and creative person. It can make some ignored aspect of your life come alive. And you might just reclaim some of the joy you found in learning about the world when you were young.
Isn’t that worth a few minutes of your week?
“Thanks for this reminder to cherish each moment and experience and to be constantly curious.”
