The Comings & Goings column is about sharing the professional successes of our community. We want to recognize those landing new jobs, new clients for their business, joining boards of organizations and other achievements. Please share your successes with us at [email protected]. Congratulations to Jonathan Looper on the publication of his new book, “It’s Not (Just) About the Range Rover: A Memoir.” This is an inspiring read and many will find so much of it rings true for them. Looper shares the truths about his life, its ups-and-downs, the love between he and his partner. He talks about being diagnosed with stage three cancer, and nearly dying. Then how living through that gave him a new perspective on the meaning of his life. Its message is one of hope. How you can find purpose, and a new life, even renewed happiness, even if what you once thought made you happy, is no longer there. I met Looper when he was a student at Georgetown University.

Common Quandary

A Common Quandary to discuss

Another conversation to explore, separate from this news story.

An AI wrote the perfect condolence message for you. Is it still from the heart?

Your friend is grieving. You want to reach out, but words fail you, so you ask an AI to draft a condolence message. It expresses exactly what you feel. You revise it and send it without mentioning the help.

Does assistance make the expression less sincere?
