Brain Pickings is the creative artifact of Maria Popova, a reader, writer, and critic with a polymath's passion for literature, arts, advertising, communications, and a virtual truckload of other subjects. Recent articles have outlined the meaning of life according to civil rights activist Rosa Parks, showcased the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art's compilation of 11 different writer's advice to young writers, (Umberto Eco: "go step by step"), and noted Simone Weil's important distinction between rights and obligations. Brain Pickings has won numerous awards and receives over a million visits a month. Readers interested in culture, broadly defined, will deeply enjoy Popova's musings.
