A note from A.B.

I’m A.B., a writer and former newspaper editor. I choose to remain anonymous; the work matters more to me than the name behind it.

The Five Y’s grew from a simple feeling: life moves quickly, and we don’t always have time to stay with a question long enough to see the bigger picture. I write five short, sourced readings each day to make complicated ideas easier to understand—and to look again at things we may have stopped questioning.

Writing is the talent I can offer. I want to use it to help create positive change in the world by making useful ideas easier to reach and giving people a reason to look again.
