People who keep their phone face-down on every surface they sit at often aren’t being polite, many are quietly trying to stop a nervous system that learned, over years of being on-call, to flinch at every notification

The face-down phone reads as good manners, but for many people it's something quieter: a small act of nervous system management, performed in public, by a body that learned every notification could be an emergency. Read more ›

The economist John Maynard Keynes predicted in 1930 that his grandchildren would be working roughly fifteen hours a week by the early twenty-first century — and the strange thing is that, technologically, he was approximately correct

It is unusual for a prediction to be half right and half wrong at the same time, but that is basically what happened in the case of John Maynard Keynes. The technology arrived. The leisure did not.  In 1930, as British unemployment was climbing toward Depression-era levels, Keynes wrote a short essay called Economic Possibilities ... Read more Read more ›

Quote of the day by Carl Jung: “Loneliness does not come from having no people around, but from being unable to communicate the things that seem important to oneself, or from holding certain views which others find inadmissible.”

Carl Jung wrote this line in one of his later works, somewhere in the 1950s, and the line has, since, become one of those quotes that floats around the internet attached to various images of solitary figures looking out windows. The line gets quoted, in most cases, as a piece of moody literary observation about ... Read more Read more ›

If you find yourself telling an AI things you’d never say to your partner, your therapist, or your best friend, you’re not broken — you’re just exhausted from performing

You already know this version of yourself. The one who responds quickly, explains things clearly, holds the thread of a meeting together. The one who doesn’t visibly fall apart. The one who, when someone asks how things are going, gives a considered answer that leaves the other person feeling reassured rather than burdened. You have ... Read more Read more ›

A hundred years ago, a man built the “Isolator” helmet because he couldn’t focus. Imagine what he’d build today.

Somewhere in a New York office, in the spring of 1925, a man sat down at his desk to write, then strapped a wooden helmet over his head before he started. The helmet was lined inside and out with cork, then sheathed in felt. Three small panes of glass that were set in front of ... Read more Read more ›

The most underrated piece of self-development advice is to stop trying to be understood by everyone — and the people who learn it early get back hours of their week they had been spending in conversations that were never going to produce the understanding they were performing for

There is a particular piece of self-development advice that, on the available evidence, almost nobody gives early enough in adult life for it to do the work it could otherwise have done. The piece of advice is to stop trying to be understood by everyone. The advice sounds, on first hearing, slightly callous, slightly cynical, ... Read more Read more ›

There’s a particular kind of clarity that arrives in your 50s and 60s — not from therapy, not from books, not from any deliberate practice — just from having lived long enough to notice which of your beliefs about yourself were inherited, which were chosen, and which are still serving you

There is a particular kind of clarity that arrives, in some adults, somewhere in their fifties or sixties, that the wider cultural register has not, on the available evidence, developed particularly good language for. The clarity is not the product of any deliberate program. The clarity does not come from therapy, although some of the ... Read more Read more ›

The most overrated word in self-improvement is “discipline”

Scroll Instagram or YouTube for ten minutes and you will be told, in various tones, that discipline is the answer. Wake at 4 a.m. Cold shower. Hard run. Don’t negotiate with yourself. The difference between the people who make it and the people who don’t, you’re told, is that the people who make it do ... Read more Read more ›
