Welcome to Working Theories!
There are quite a few definitions of the phrase “working theory,” but these are among two of my favorites that inspire me:
“Working theories are a way in which children draw on and apply ideas and understandings accumulated from their personal and social experiences, in order to make sense of their world.” [The Education Hub]
“A working hypothesis is a hypothesis that is provisionally accepted as a basis for further ongoing research in the hope that a tenable theory will be produced, even if the hypothesis ultimately fails … The term "working" indicates that the hypothesis is subject to change.” [Wikipedia]
My essays are my working theories, ideas, and rich (if incomplete) hypotheses based on my personal and professional experiences.
Everyone says to pick a lane, but I’ve been deep in so many worlds — the arts, medicine, and business — and from many angles. So while I’ll often write about 3 things — creative work, modern life, and the psyche of the ambitious — my theories won’t be in one lane. P.S. Feel free to suggest a topic that you’d want me to opine on too.
If this sounds interesting, please subscribe (and if you want more candid, personal, and frequent working theories, consider going paid if you can).
I’m mostly on twitter @anuatluru or you can email me at anuatluru@gmail.com.
