2. Hooked on Our Smartphones | “The many men, women and children who spend their days glued to their smartphones and social media accounts might learn something from Lin-Manuel Miranda, creator of the groundbreaking megahit ‘Hamilton.’ Asked in an interview with Delta Sky magazine when and where he finds time to be creative, Mr. Miranda, an avid reader of books and enthusiast for unfettered downtime, replied: ‘The good idea comes in the moment of rest.

8. Pete Souza, Obama’s Chief White House Photographer, on Making Pictures for History | “An interesting facet of the Obama Era is the simple paradox that Obama was both formal and casual, aloof and intimate.
