An annual exercise in humility
December 31, 2023 1:20 AM Subscribe
As awesome as we are, on occasion we're reminded that other people are also kind of great. Which is why we at Bloomberg Businessweek practice an annual exercise in humility called The Jealousy List. Put simply, these are the stories so well executed by folks at other outlets that we wish we’d published them. from Jealousy List 2023 [Bloomberg; ungated]

Lots of good stuff: love the Ted Chiang (of course).

What a fabulous idea and tradition!
(Minor quibble - I kind of wish they would call it their Other People Are Also Awesome List or their Annual Appreciation List. For many, jealousy is a sin, or unloving; appreciating others is always a lovely thing.)
I'm looking forward to reading some of these, especially The best books on Clinical Neuroscience (and indeed revisiting Five Books way more often than I do) - but mostly, I just love this idea.
Thank you for posting this, chavenet - I'm going to have to go look for earlier years, too!
