#3 - "The Death of Hobbies" by Sherry Ning
In episode 3, Jonathan Stern narrates Sherry Ning's essay "The Death of Hobbies".
In the essay, Sherry confronts the cultural shift away from active, skill-based hobbies to the passive consumption of entertainment.
She distinguishes between pleasure (which is passive) and enjoyment (which requires effort)—and argues that true enjoyment comes from creation and mastery, rather than from mere consumption. It’s a rousing call to reconsider our priorities and invest our time and energy in activities that fulfill the human spirit.
