Someone says something rude to you. Maybe it’s a dismissive comment in a meeting, a backhanded compliment at a family dinner, or a colleague who talks to you like you’re slightly beneath them.

I turned down a dinner invitation last month. Big table, people I’ve known for thirty years, open bar, the works. Ten years ago, I would’ve moved mountains to be there. Last month, I said no thank you and went home and played records in my garage, and I felt nothing but relief. Donna looked at ... Read more Read more ›

People who look impervious to criticism often aren't resilient — they've just internalised a harsher critic than anyone outside could ever be. A look at what psychologists call introjection, and why the audience that moved inside never takes a day off. Read more ›

The loneliness of warm, well-liked people isn't about isolation. It's about being so reliably okay that nobody in your life has practice asking whether you actually are — and the research on what that costs is sobering. Read more ›

My buddy Ray called me last spring, two weeks into his retirement. Sixty-eight years old. Forty-one years as a plumber. He wasn’t calling to complain. He was calling because something strange had happened. “Tommy,” he said, “I went fishing by myself yesterday, just sat there for four hours, and I felt like myself for the ... Read more Read more ›

Nobody told me life gets better after 50. I was too busy wiring office buildings and stressing about payroll to think about it. I figured my 60s would just be my 40s with worse knees.
