Jan is, like me, interested in "home" as an idea, a myth, an archetype—and is herself on a search that just culminated in the purchase of a fixer-upper in Sicily. I'm really looking forward to reading more from her as her journey unfolds.

Paul's main subject is to chart a new conception of how we think about work — but his ultimate goal is similar to mine: exploring what it means to have a life well-lived.
