Many thanks to my colleague and oh yeah, awesome NIECE, @liladominus for her terrific points about the opportunity costs of wearing headphones through life: kesq.com/health/cnn-health/2…

👨👩👧👦Can sibling rivalries shape success?
🎙️This week, TPN founder @zacharykarabell and @heyemmavarv asked @susandominus, staff writer at @nytimes magazine, and author of, "The Family Dynamic: A Journey Into the Mystery of Sibling Success," what she thinks.

This math visualization and explanation from Steve Strogotz (and conceived by @alanburdick , among other talented NYT colleagues) is a marvel: nytimes.com/interactive/2025…
I love that T Magazine--and brilliant editors like @kurtsoller--come to me with fascinating ideas like this (about female digital voices): nytimes.com/2025/05/05/t-mag…
My book, "The Family Dynamic" is out tomorrow! It explores families with exceptionally high-achieving siblings. I was interested in learning how parents inspire kids to dream big.

As I reported, I realized I'd also have to explore the costs of ambition, success and competition. It's not a how-to guide, but this book holds takeaways that I think will help parents reflect thoughtfully about what they want for their children, and why.

Thrilled to be in such great company in this weeks' round up of @thelongstory: thelongstory.substack.com/p/…
Hear the cicada song of love (and enjoy the beautiful writing of my own love, @alanburdick ): nytimes.com/2024/05/08/scien…
Perhaps with age comes not just wisdom, but honesty, humor and generosity? I'm so grateful to these couples for sharing with me the psychologically tough parts of retirement that don't get talked about enough: nytimes.com/2024/05/05/magaz…
So moved by the exquisite writing and forgotten moments of history that @arielkaminer excavates in this important, heartbreaking piece of history: nytimes.com/2024/03/11/opini…

Many thanks to the team of people--@ilenasilverman, @rachelposer, @lufong, and @liamiller--who helped bring this piece about a Palestinian and an Israeli peace activist to publication--and many thanks to audionarrator Kirsten Potter for giving it voice.
It's their job to clear a path for reconciliation among Palestinians and Israelis. Hearing the challenges of how they manage to work together was edifying, at times dispiriting, and ultimately, inspiring.

A beautiful storyteller, @rudoren, tells a terrible tale:forward.com/news/572439/oct-…
What will @cocogauff do with this fame? Anyone who's spent even a little time with her and her family knows that she wanted the win for personal satisfaction, but also because it takes a big win to launch a serious platform for good. Can't wait to see that unfold.
Reposting this following @cocogauff's inspiring beauty of a win--a case study in superb training meeting tremendous mental strength: nytimes.com/2022/08/26/magaz…
