10 LEARNINGS FROM 10 YEARS OF BRAIN PICKINGS ANIMATED (MARIA POPOVA) 

I have been subscribed to Maria's weekly newsletter for a while now and it's filled with some of the most enlightening stories and valuable life lessons you could find. After I read her article on what she learnt from 10 Years of Brain Pickings I felt compelled to create an animation from it. I feel the lessons contained need to be spread. Thank you Maria Popova for letting me. "Founded in 2006 as a weekly email to seven friends Maria Popova's, BrainPickings now gets more than 5 million readers per month (!). I read very few blogs regularly, but BrainPickings is one of the few that makes the cut. It’s a treasure trove. Maria Popova has written for amazing outlets like The Atlantic and The New York Times, but I find her most amazing project to be BrainPickings.org. BrainPickings is Maria’s one-woman labor of love - an inquiry into how to live and what it means to lead a good life. From Mark Twain to Oscar Wilde and everyone in between, Maria finds the hidden gems. She is also PROLIFIC and makes me look like a sloth." - Tim Ferriss www.brainpickings.org/2016/10/23/10-years-of-brain-pickings/

Hey Alex, usually I don't comment that much but this is a wonderful video!

I admire how well done this is. Also, a great reminder for me to read up on Popova's brilliant site. Thanks, Alex.

Excellent summation and presentation of life's true meaning! Well done!

Fantastic video thanks for this!

This is beautiful. Thank you and thanks to Maria :D

Maria's work deserves this catchy and meaningful summary. Thank you !

You describe how you should do nothing for prestige or status or money or approval alone. I got caught up until I saw the word "alone". So is it to say that if you were to prestige yourself socially on the ideas that stem from alternative motives, such as a career choice, then it would be acceptable?

Very nicely explain thank you bro

Interesting and attractively presented, thank you for sharing.

Beautifully done

Love this summary video Alexander. I found you from a GaryVee video and wanted to ask you, what's your favorite lesson from Gary?

Good stuff, thanks for putting this together. Question, what is a "cat gift"?

really cool video, man! i loved it! i just made a video about the 5 best personal development blogs (i included brainpickings), so i was doing more research on the blog, it's background, it's main learnings etc... your video helped a ton! thanks for that!

Thanks for this amazing video, it means a lot to me. Is there a way to print out your final paper with all 10 life lessons and this great illustrations?

Very nicely presented Alex! Just out of curiosity, What software have you used to create this animation?
