Picture a memory you are sure of. Not a fuzzy one, a solid one. Say a childhood scene where you got separated from your parents in a big shop, felt that cold drop in your stomach, and then a stranger or a shop assistant brought you back. You can almost see the aisle. You remember ... Read more Read more âș

What follows is reading and reflection on published psychology research, not advice. We are writers, not psychologists or therapists. The studies here are observational and experimental work on group averages, and a pattern across a sample is not a diagnosis or a prescription for any one readerâs inner life. You would expect that the people ... Read more Read more âș

Give someone five compliments and one insult in the same afternoon, and the insult is what they carry home. This lopsidedness seems like a glitch in the wiring. It is not. It appears to be one of the more reliable patterns in how the human mind weighs experience, and psychology has documented it for decades ... Read more Read more âș

The bitter compounds in kale, broccoli and green tea are plant defence weapons â and the reason vegetables extend human life. A look at hormesis, the gut bacteria that decide who benefits, and why the vegetables engineered to taste mild may deliver less of what makes them medicine. Read more âș

Weâre sold a story about identity that runs like a detective film. You spend your youth confused, then one afternoon, maybe on a beach in your twenties or mid-breakdown in your thirties, you âfind yourself.â Credits roll. You know who you are now, and you get to keep it forever, laminated, like a passport. Lovely ... Read more Read more âș

Sara Blakely built a billion-dollar company on $5,000 of her own money and never took a cent from outside investors. In 2000 she used that $5,000 to launch Spanx. Twenty-one years later, in October 2021, the investment firm Blackstone bought a majority stake in Spanx in a deal that valued the company at about $1.2 ... Read more Read more âș

There is a small movement people make at the beginning of a serious conversation. The phone comes out of a pocket, lands on the table, and is turned face down. The screen disappears. Whatever arrives next will not be allowed to flash between two people. It is easy to call this good manners and leave ... Read more Read more âș

Last week I watched a bloke in a near-empty cafĂ© stand up, sling his bag over one shoulder, and then, before he walked out, quietly slide his chair back under the table. Nobody clocked it. The barista had her back turned. Two other customers were buried in laptops. He wasnât fishing for a nod or ... Read more Read more âș

Astronauts return from long missions up to 5 centimetres taller as their spinal discs swell in the absence of gravity. Within 48 hours of landing, the spine begins compressing again â and the injury risk that follows can last for years. Read more âș

Cuttlefish have monochromatic vision but produce some of the most accurate colour camouflage in nature. New computer-vision studies of their chromatophores are finally showing how. Read more âș

Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates have spent the past year trying to prove that enough capital can purchase a way out of a monopoly. Read more âș

After 340 days on the ISS, astronaut Scott Kelly returned to Earth to find his own home felt staged, his skin broke out from soft furniture, and the smell of rain on his patio hit him like a physical event â a reentry the launch had never prepared him for. Read more âș

In 1996, Cornell psychologist Thomas Gilovich sent students into a room wearing a Barry Manilow T-shirt and measured a gap that would reshape how psychologists think about self-consciousness: wearers guessed 46 per cent of observers noticed the shirt. The real number was 23 per cent. Read more âș

Singapore became an independent country on 9 August 1965 after a brief and bitter union with Malaysia. It entered that day with no hinterland, no industrial base, no significant natural resources and a water supply that depended heavily on agreements with the country it had just left. âExpelledâ is a fair description of the political ...

A physical book makes a narrow promise. Open it and there will be the book. No messages will arrive in the margin. No application will ask to be updated. No alert will appear over the final sentence of a chapter. For adults who continue to choose print, that limitation can be the point. The preference ... Read more Read more âș

There is a particular kind of desk that looks as if it belongs to two eras at once. A smartphone handles messages, maps, calls and appointments. Beside it sits a paper calendar, open to the whole month, with crossings-out, arrows and small blocks of handwriting. The easy interpretation is that its owner has failed to ...

Stand like a superhero for two minutes before a job interview, and your body chemistry shifts to make you braver. That was the promise of one of the most-watched talks in TEDâs history. The trouble is that the claim about your hormones did not hold up, and the scientist who first reported it later said ... Read more Read more âș

There is an oddly revealing moment in modern life: someone needs to remember something, reaches past the phone already in their hand, and looks for a pen. Maybe it is a shopping list. Maybe it is the three things that have to happen tomorrow. Maybe it is an idea that will disappear if it is ... Read more Read more âș

Marcus Aurelius wrote one of his clearest warnings about ambition in the fourth book of the notes now called Meditations. A person longing for fame after death, he argued, forgets that everyone preserving the memory will also die. Their successors will die too, until the chain of remembrance ends. The observation came from the Roman ... Read more Read more âș

For a few years I carried a tidy little fact around. Money stops mattering for happiness once you clear about $75,000. Past that, you are just chasing numbers on a screen. I used to say it at dinners. I half believed it because it let me off a hook I could not quite name, the ... Read more Read more âș
