• Why living smaller and spending less is often boring—but better

• Sleep routines and avoiding fragility in your lifestyle rituals

• Performance psychology from coaching elite tactical personnel—and how it helps everyday people

• How adults can use play to be healthier

• What she means by “my job is to make you a worse person”

• What self-abandonment is (and how to stop doing it)

• And much more
