Margaret Atwood has written a memoir-ish (coming November). I love this pic of her reading Surfacing, her second novel, and the first I read, which will grace the back cover.

The Shift With Sam Baker is a reader-supported publication. If you enjoy my work and would like to support it, why not consider becoming a paid subscriber.

SCROLLING
• A completely fascinating long read on the impact of weight loss drugs on relationships. (Gift link)
• Love this gorgeous piece by

Penny Wincer
about all the times a book has saved her life.
• I had a perspective-shifting conversation with Martha Beck earlier this week about using creativity to offset anxiety (coming up on the podcast in a couple of weeks). This piece about the Finnish concept of Sisu (the importance of action and creativity in hard times), strikes similar chords.
