After dozens of conversations with friends in their 30s, I walked away with an alarming, but not-too-surprising, realization: most don’t have any hobbies to speak of. Nearly every conversation went something like this: “It’s been a while, man, what have you been up to?” “Oh, you know, same old, just working a lot.” “Alright, fair enough, how is the job going?” “Eh, it’s go ..read more
