Ben Yeoh on: Ursula K Le Guin Life Manual; Writing/Art Competitions; JK Rowling on failure; pension law

Hi

In arts, an extract from Ursula K Le Guin's essay on Literature as an operating manual for life, along with some writing/art competitions with deadlines coming up; and JK Rowling on the benefits of failure. Given Charlottesville I still recommend Coates on the Black American experience.
On investing world, some thoughts on valuation with no easy answers; also a semi-technical look at pension fiduciary duty and ESG/Sustainability - one if you are a budding environmental lawyer activist.

Arts - Investing - Personal/Autism.

Thanks for staying in touch, Ben
