We Can’t Will Our Way To Wellbeing

But our minds can still get us there — Our culture suffers a destructive “pull yourself up by your bootstraps” mentality that presumes that who we are and what we do is just a matter of choice. But we don’t have as much choice as we might like to think. And certainly less than we’ve been told. For starters…

Let’s Get Back to Doing What We Are Evolutionarily Optimized to Do

Trusting each other is astonishingly win-win and has won-won us everything we have ever had — Prior to the pandemic, one thing I certainly wouldn’t have thought to prescribe for our already socially malnourished culture was a massive infusion of “social distancing.” Unless, of course, I was trying to kill it. But maybe, witnessing a large-scale social breakdown during the pandemic — while we were at…

If I Were A Filthy, Stinking Rich Man

What I’d do with a billion-dollar lottery win — I must admit that a billion-dollar lottery got my attention. We’re not talking about vacation money with first-class passage and conversations about how a million isn’t what it used to be. We’re talking filthy, stinking, unimaginably rich. It refreshes the question I’ve always loved asking myself of what I would…

The Secret of Getting Good Is Not Focusing on How Good I’m Getting

It’s paying attention to what I’m actually doing — I’ve started noticing the astonishing extent to which I’m busy worrying about how well I am doing instead of focusing on the task at hand.

Traveling Through Time to Connect My Feelings to the Past Where They Belong

Right in the nick of time — After years of studying the matter, both on and off the couch, I have a pretty clear thesis on why I struggle emotionally. Developmental injuries left me feeling periodically worthless and unlovable, which I have been ineffectually trying to remedy by frantically scrambling to somehow make myself more lovable and…
