He has lived a big life. Tough streets, close calls, a wife of forty-one years, four kids, fifty movies, two Oscars, three Equalizers. For the first time—on the occasion of Gladiator II, and his approaching seventieth birthday—the man himself breaks it all down, in his own words, to the moments that mattered and the experiences that made him. He has lived a big life, but Denzel Washington ain't done yet. |

Whenever I want to feel a connection to ancient philosophy, I take a leaf out of Cicero's book and come to visit the grounds of the ancient Athenian Academy. I often recollect his remarks about the great thinkers who once walked here—Zeno, the founder of Stoicism; Diogenes the Cynic; Aristotle; even Socrates himself. Despite Socrates's reputation as one of history's greatest sages, his teachings and the remarkable stories of his life, with which they were entwined, remain unfamiliar to the majority of people. The Socratic dialogues are seldom read today, except by a handful of classical scholars. And Plato's Academy, the cradle of Western philosophy, has lain in ruins for well over a thousand years—but it does still exist. Here's how you can apply his methods to ask better questions, set better goals, and find clarity of purpose. |

Last week, Louis Vuitton unveiled a massive new store in New York, marking the occasion with an appropriately massive party attended by everyone from fashion editors and influencers to boldfaced names like Bradley Cooper and Ana de Armas. They gathered to gawk at the giant displays of stacked trunks stretching from the lobby all the way to the ceiling of the five-floor luxury destination. They shuffled from the men's and women's clothing sections to the first outpost of Le Chocolat Maxime Frédéric at Louis Vuitton in the United States. And they made their way through the library-themed restaurant, Le Café Louis Vuitton, also the very first in the States. But pretty much everyone in attendance—barring Cooper and de Armas, perhaps—will have a damn difficult time returning for dinner. According to the folks at the famed Parisian fashion label, Le Café is booked out for the next two months, making it one of the hottest reservations in the city. |
