"It's common to frame fear as a signal that there's something scary to avoid, but consider what long-term effect this framing will have. It means that decade after decade, you'll keep avoiding what you fear..."
"I'm sure you've seen plenty of evidence of herd stupidity recently. This isn't a situation where you should look to the masses for guidance. When you see idiotic behavior, don't let the fact that everyone else seems fine with it persuade you that it's probably okay. Stupid behavior that's popular is still stupid..."

"We could say that we live in a pretty chaotic world and that the desire for clarity is an attempt to impose order on the apparent chaos around us. Yet what do we do once we've created order? Something feels like it's missing, so we add some chaos back in – but in a controlled manner. We put plants in our homes. We add parks to our cities. We have children. Even when we've created a strong sense of order, we invite some chaos back in for balance..."
"For the first 20 days, this experiment felt pretty useless. I couldn't discern any benefits, and I was still calibrating to find the right eating window for me. It was only in the last 10 days that I began to notice some shifts. By then I had aligned with an eating window that worked well..."

"Choosing a career is a huge responsibility, both for men and women. I think this is especially true for men though, since we're socially conditioned to value our careers very highly and to mix our egos into our work. It's tough for many men to feel fulfilled and happy when their careers aren't going well..."
"It's amazing how much time and energy people waste stressing over money, reacting to financial setbacks as if money is life itself. What's the point of playing the money game? Is it to amass a fortune? Of course not. You're going to lose it all when you die anyway. The point is to enjoy the experience, have fun, and grow from it. The money game isn't your enemy. It's your teacher..."
"Many people identify with their minds, treating their minds as synonymous with themselves. This is problematic when it comes to personal growth because it encourages us to wrap our egos into our mental functioning. When our minds behave poorly, we'll tend to defend our mistakes instead of diagnosing and solving problems in our thinking..."
"What part of your life always seems to be on the back burner? Is it a certain relationship? A hobby you've always wanted to enjoy? A spiritual pursuit? Do you tell yourself that someday this part of your life will move to the front burner and become a priority? How will that actually happen? Back burner items tend to remain on the back burner indefinitely. They rarely make it to the front burner on their own. The reason they're on the back burner is because..."
"I'll share the specific process I use to write articles, from initial concept to final publication, including the step-by-step details. If this topic interests you, hopefully you'll gain some insights that will help you improve your craft of writing. I don't write the way I was taught in school, nor do I write like many people would expect. I can't guarantee that my approach will work for you, but there's no doubt that it works well for me. Obviously I write a lot, and I like to think I've gotten pretty good at it. Within the past six years, I've written more than a thousand articles and a book. In total that's a few million words of published content, enough to fill about 25-30 books..."
"'I really love cuddling, but I have a hard time inviting guys to cuddle with me because they might think I'm inviting them to have sex with me, and sometimes I just want to cuddle. How can I ask for cuddling and not have a guy think I'm offering something sexual?' Believe it or not, this can be an issue for men too. Let's ponder this situation from some different perspectives since the same issue can have multiple causes."
