I am not a doer, an undoer. I am a superarmed sair guy. Nothing id like more than to get than to read a book and get better at reading books. That would certainly include backing a boat down a steep ramp int a body of water. But i do think there is something a profoundly human about adding the physical dimension.
What did author and Washington Post columnist Tamar Haspel learn from her quest to eat at least one thing she'd grown, caught, or killed every day? For starters, that just-caught fish always tastes better (unless you've caught a false albacore). That all it takes to build a coop is the will and the right power tools, and that when it comes to homegrown produce, you've got none until you've got way too much. But most of all, she tells EconTalk's Russ Roberts in talking about her book To Boldly Grow, she learned that figuring stuff out to solve problems is more delicious than the most decadent of desserts.
