Kleiner Perkins Partner — and Thrive Global Global board member — Mamoon Hamid recently returned from Hajj, the annual Islamic pilgrimage to Mecca. In his own words: “Faith is really important to me, and it’s also deeply rooted in every encounter I have with every person. Part of the beauty of Hajj is that it’s two million people who come from all walks of life, with all the different skin tones in the world. Yet in front of God, we’re all one and we’re all the same. It roots you in the question: how do you treat each other as human beings? That has become a moral compass for me. Every interaction matters—whether it’s with a six-year-old child or a thirty-year-old billionaire founder. How do you treat each other? How do you give them respect, dignity, and attention in that moment in time? I’ve tried to live my life that way. Faith reminds me of it every day.” While the world provides plenty of insistent, flashing, high-volume signals directing us to climb higher up the ladder, there are almost no worldly signals reminding us to stay connected to the essence of who we are, to take care of ourselves along the way, to reach out to others, to pause to wonder and to connect to that place from which everything is possible. Thank you, Mamoon, for reminding us there is more to life than our jobs, our ambitions and our to-do lists. And that, in the end, life is shaped from the inside out.

“The things that make us human will become much more important instead of much less important.” That’s from Anthropic co-founder and president Daniela Amodei, who shared why she studied literature in college instead of AI. As she says, when they look to hire people at Anthropic, they’re looking for great communicators, those with a high EQ and people skills, and those who are kind, compassionate and curious — all uniquely human qualities, and that's something that won't change in the age of AI. What do you look for when building out your team? Let me know in the comments.

When I asked Dr. Jonas Salk, inventor of the polio vaccine, why he chose a career in medicine, he said it came from a deep concern for human suffering — and a childhood dream of serving humanity. As a boy, he wanted to follow his hero, Abraham Lincoln, into law and politics to fight for justice. But in college, he realized he could help humanity on an even larger scale through medical research. It’s such a powerful reminder: our deepest purpose stays the same, but the way we scale our impact can change — and with today’s tools, especially AI, our ability to reach people is greater than ever.

Love this from Jennifer Garner, sharing with suleika jaouad how her journal entries almost always end up turning into prayers. As Kierkegaard put it, “The function of prayer is not to influence God, but rather to change the nature of the one who prays.”

"One of the most important decisions of my life would have been kind of messed up if it wasn't for AI helping connect the dots." That's from OpenAI's CEO of Applications Fidji Simo, who had seen 20 doctors but none of them had been able to connect the dots of her health journey the way she did using AI. Nine out of ten people don't know how to navigate their own health information, but now with technology helping us analyze that data, we're able to understand the information we're receiving in an easily digestible way. 📹: Mark Hyman, M.D. Click here for more from Simo’s conversation with Dr. Hyman:

One of the least helpful things you can say to someone who’s worrying about something is “don’t worry about it.” I love the way children are. They cry, they rage — and two minutes later, it’s over. I don’t believe in growing a thick skin. I want to be permeable. When something upsetting happens, experience it — or set aside time to feel it, and move on. Love this clip of Sheryl Sandberg on the CNBC Changemakers podcast with Julia Boorstin:

Eating isn’t just something we do because we have to. Food is part of who we are, how we spend time with friends and family and connect to our culture. I’m a Greek immigrant. Many of my best memories are from my childhood in Athens, where my mother loved to cook. My sister and I would come home from school, and we’d sit around the kitchen table for long meals that always ended with walnuts dipped in Greek honey. To this day, I take every opportunity to recreate these cherished moments around the table with family and friends. How and what we eat is one of five daily behaviors we focus on at Thrive – along with sleep, movement, managing stress and connecting with others – to improve our health. With the new Thrive Global Global Cookbook, our aim is to share simple, healthy and delicious recipes and ways that can make healthy eating affordable, easy and fun. With over 60 breakfast, lunch, dinner, snack and drink recipes from renowned chefs and food experts, including Ina Garten, Chef José Andrés 🕊️🥘🍳, Daniel Humm, Diane Kochilas, Candice Kumai and Mona Vand, as well as dozens of creative swaps and tips for healthy eating, cooking and shopping curated by Tess Bredesen, Thrive’s Nutrition Director, the Thrive Global Cookbook helps readers plan and prepare easy-to-make meals with nutritious, budget-friendly ingredients. I hope the recipes in this cookbook show how you can make easy and affordable meals that are both delicious and healthy. We are proud to partner with Blue Shield of CA Promise Health Plan to bring this cookbook to so many people. And especially meaningful to me in this holiday season is that the Thrive Global Foundation is teaming up with SharkNinja to not only give out the cookbook but also kitchen appliances, like blenders, food processors and cookware, to empower people to prepare these nourishing recipes with ease.

I loved this amazing lesson about success from Giannis Antetokounmpo, the two-time National Basketball Association (NBA) MVP, and NBA finals MVP from 2021. Antetokounmpo (nicknamed the “Greek Freak”) hails from my home country, and I've been rooting for him for a long time! As he showed in the press conference after his Milwaukee Bucks were eliminated in the playoffs, his attitude about life is every bit as impressive as his athletic ability. Asked whether he considered the season to be a failure, Giannis pointed out that not winning the championship every year isn’t the same as failure, just as people not getting a job promotion every year doesn’t mean they’ve failed in working towards their goals of taking care of their families. And then this was the best part: “You work toward a goal. It's not a failure. It's steps to success.” Which almost perfectly echoes my mother’s motto in life: failure isn’t the opposite of success, but a stepping stone to success. So while Antetokounmpo might not be taking home another championship ring this year, he’s a winner for dropping some freakishly good Greek wisdom that’s just as valuable in life as it is on the court.
