只要夠大，就會讓你起敬畏之心
從去年的12月開始， 外刊打卡閱讀的雜誌期刊的數目從原先的3個（紐約時報、經濟學人、華爾街日報），新增到了7個，其中相對到目前為止選文比較多的是哈佛商業評論和大西洋月刊（The Atlantic）.
在The Atlantic 裡面有一個專欄特別有意思，以至於在發現了以後，又特地去找了2017年過刊裡面所有的這個專欄的文章看了一遍。
專欄的名字叫 Study of studies。顧名思義，就是一些已有研究（studies）的再次深度分析（study）。聽上去可能覺得有點嚴肅，沒什麼意思。但是因為選擇的話題，一般比較的接地氣，所以相信你應該也會覺得比較有意思。比如，專欄裡面出現過這樣的主題
