Thirty doors, sorted by the state you are in.

Each door begins where you already are, gives you a vision, and hands you one practice to create it. Find the one that describes you right now. Here are eight of them.

Door 01

Start here if you cannot sleep and cannot stop working

You set the edges of the day. They do not set you.

Dr. Els van der Helm

Sleep neuroscientist

Three minutes of breathing to open the workday. Three to close it.

From the episode “How to improve your sleep”

Take three minutes to breathe before the workday starts, and three when it ends.

Conversations about how to create the future, not guess it.

On The Future Is How, Frederik G. Pferdt, Google’s first Chief Innovation Evangelist, talks with people who changed how he sees the future. Where to Start collects the best of four seasons.

01

Not predictions. Practices.

Not just what the future holds, but how to create it. Every conversation ends in something you can do.

02

Something to practice the same day you listen.

Each guest hands you one small thing to try today, not a theory to file away.

03

From people who have spent their lives on it.

Scientists, founders, designers, and teachers, sharing the practice behind their work.
