This Week in The Diary of a CEO (May 11 - May 17, 2026)

This week, The Diary of a CEO explored how invisible forces shape our lives—from the sweep of historical change to the granular details of daily habits. The episodes ranged from a Pulitzer Prize historian's warnings about societal blind spots to a CIA physicist's claims about extraterrestrial life, and concluded with a practical investigation into how sleep quality affects weight and whether tracking tools help or hinder our wellbeing. Across these conversations lies a common thread: the challenge of recognizing what's real and consequential when it's happening, whether on a civilizational or personal scale.
