Write Like a Champion

This will be a skills-based class day. We're going to work in small groups to build up your philosophical writing skills, with a special focus on your apology projects. We will update with details.

To do this, we'd like you to read and reflect on a recent NYTimes piece about an organization with a very specific view of the good life and an entire training regimen designed to achieve it.
