A retirement move can succeed on nearly every term used to justify it. The home may cost less, the weather may be kinder and the days may feel less hurried. A person can be pleased with all of that and still miss the wider circle of people who once made ordinary life feel inhabited. This ... Read more Read more ›

The Vjosa in southern Albania runs 270 kilometres from the Pindus mountains to the Adriatic without a single dam on its main stem — the last free-flowing wild river in Europe outside Russia, and since March 2023 the continent's first national park built around one. Read more ›

The population of people who use social media without posting is much larger than most active posters realise. The Pew Research Center’s 2019 study “Sizing Up Twitter Users,” based on a nationally representative sample of U.S. adult Twitter users, found that the median user posts just twice a month, while the most prolific 10 percent ...

In September 1979, at an old converted Catholic monastery in the wooded countryside of Peterborough, New Hampshire — approximately 90 kilometres northwest of Boston, and approximately six months before Ellen Jane Langer would become, in the specific spring of 1981, the first female professor to receive tenure in the history of the Harvard University Department ...

In July 2010, three American psychology researchers — Julianne Holt-Lunstad and Timothy B. Smith of the Brigham Young University Department of Psychology in Provo, Utah, and J. Bradley Layton of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Department of Epidemiology — published in the open-access journal PLoS Medicine the substantial 21-page meta-analytic paper “Social ...

There is a particular feeling that arrives before the holiday has properly started. You step out of the car near the ocean, or reach the end of a street where the water suddenly opens in front of you, and your body seems to loosen before your mind has built an explanation. It can feel sentimental ... Read more Read more ›

Carl Jung split a human life down the middle and gave each half a different job. The first half, he said, is spent building something the world can see: a role, a reputation, a face that fits. The second half is spent deciding what to do with all of it. Do you keep playing the ... Read more Read more ›

The daily step goal on hundreds of millions of wrists and phones did not come out of a laboratory. It came out of a marketing department. In the mid-1960s, riding the fitness buzz around the 1964 Tokyo Olympics, the Japanese clock and instrument company Yamasa released a step counter called the Manpo-kei. The name means, ...

Where the internet physically lives is being redrawn, and what’s pulling it isn’t engineers — it’s electricity. Across the industry, the biggest new data-centre campuses are chosen first for access to cheap, plentiful power. The old draw of a nearby talent pool now comes a distant second. Iowa cornfields, an Irish suburb near Dublin, and ... Read more Read more ›

I have caught myself, more than once, defending a version of me that had already moved on. Something in the way I described what I do, or what I care about, or what I am no longer willing to try, would be a year or two out of date the moment I said it out ... Read more Read more ›

We tend to treat being good at AI as a technical skill, something to do with clever prompts, the right settings and a stock of secret phrases. Watch the people who actually get extraordinary results from these tools, though, and a different pattern shows up. They are rarely the most technical. They are the clearest. ...

When someone reaches retirement age without close friends, the easy assumption is that they must have pushed people away. We imagine a cold person, a difficult person, someone too guarded or demanding to build lasting bonds. Psychology suggests another possibility. Some people arrive in later life without close friends because they were never short on ... Read more Read more ›

I started using AI as an external memory. Somehow, it made me feel more human — which feels like it should be a bigger contradiction than it is, but here we are. For the last couple of months, my life has felt like pure chaos. Not dramatic chaos, necessarily. Not the kind where one huge ... Read more Read more ›

For most of human history, the average person did not live to see their thirty-fifth birthday. As late as 1900, the global average life expectancy was around 32 years. Getting old — the thing people now complain about, dread, spend fortunes trying to slow — is, in demographic terms, an almost brand-new experience. Many of ... Read more Read more ›

I did not get calmer by reading grand books about attention or by taking a week-long digital detox in the woods. I got calmer by doing five small, mildly annoying things every day that quietly changed the texture of my working hours. They are not clever. They do not require an app. They required me ...

Every so often you get to a point where the same three or four questions have been circling for months and none of them are getting answered. The kind of questions you already know the shape of. Where to spend the next few years. What to keep and what to cut. What sort of life ... Read more Read more ›

Roughly one in eight American adults is now taking a GLP-1 drug like Ozempic, Wegovy or Zepbound. The class traces back to a hormone isolated from Gila monster venom by a Bronx doctor who paid a dollar to file the patent himself after his employer passed on it. Read more ›

Ozempic lists for roughly $969 in the United States and around €59 in Germany — the same pen, the same molecule, made in the same Danish factory. The reason winds back to a Nobel laureate's 1922 trip to Toronto. Read more ›

If you own a dog, there is a reasonable chance its retractable lead was made by a company called Flexi, based in a town in northern Germany, which by its own account and most industry estimates holds around 70 percent of the world market for exactly that product and does nothing else. Its founder’s stated ... Read more Read more ›

I am not a psychologist or an economist, and nothing here is advice about your money or your decisions. This is one curious reader’s reading of the work, and the studies behind it are findings from particular groups of people, not settled laws about everyone. Here is a small thing I have noticed about myself. ... Read more Read more ›
