From the March 20, 2019 issue of Further Nowadays, work is not necessarily a place you go so much as it is something you do — hopefully with passion and purpose. The rise of remote work is real, with over 60% of U.S. jobs done at least partially from afar. So much for the myth […]
Here’s Why You’re Stupid Without Sleep
From the March 20, 2019 issue of Further You know by now that sleep deprivation is a serious problem. Just for starters, you’ve got a heightened risk of depression, obesity, diabetes, heart attack, and stroke. And you definitely feel worse when you haven’t slept.

What Are You Really
Afraid of Missing Out On?
From the March 13, 2019 issue of Further Fear of missing out — or FOMO — is a fascinating thing.

It’s true that without imagination, wonder, and risk-taking, things get old, fast. Embracing […]
The Blunt Truth About CBD
From the February 27, 2019 issue of Further As a resident of weed-legal Colorado, it’s been a bit amusing to watch CBD-mania catch fire in less tolerant jurisdictions.

An Unsentimental Look at the Power of Nostalgia
From the February 20, 2019 issue of Further Today, yesterday is everywhere. Insta-nostalgia — like the #2009vs2019 challenge or a Facebook quiz to find out what 90s’ indie band you are — is hellbent on planting the past in your present. Frankly, I don’t love having my memories repackaged as click bait. Then again, being […]
Is Your Level of
Skepticism Healthy?
From the February 20, 2019 issue of Further Skepticism is an important trait — it’s the foundation of the scientific method, and it can keep you from being duped. We all know someone who is way too trusting, and we have all likely fit that description at some point. On the other hand, there are […]
