Further
Health - Wealth - Wisdom
I’m not one those “hustle and grind” people. Glamorizing how hard you work seems silly, especially when the point is to work smarter and have a better life. Last week, we looked at the primary thing to focus on when working as a freelancer, artist, or solopreneur. This week I got an early look at …
I owe a lot to James Clear. In the last year I got over myself and just did what James says to do. Start small, improve slowly, and be amazed at where you end up. In his recently released book Atomic Habits, James sums it up perfectly in the first chapter: It doesn’t matter how …
From the October 17, 2018 issue of Further It is only in our decisions that we are important ~ Jean Paul Sartre The first lesson of decision-making is to not judge a decision by the outcome. Tough start. That’s because making smart decisions is a process involving probabilities, which means sometimes the odds go against …
From the October 17, 2018 issue of Further There’s only one growth strategy: work hard. ~ William Hague There’s never been a better opportunity to make it big on your own — to be a successful company of one. But it’s easy to lose focus on what truly matters. Ryan Holiday tells the story of …
From the October 17, 2018 issue of Further You know you’ve reached middle age when your weightlifting consists merely of standing up. ~ Bob Hope Get big. Get ripped. Get shredded, brah. That didn’t appeal to me at 21, much less at 51. But here I am, hitting the weights three times a week. You …

Anyway, one of the great things about publishing Further over the years …

Well, that’s an ominous-sounding headline. Something you might hear in a movie with a guy in a hockey mask named Jason, or maybe Michael Myers. It’s all good, though: New research published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology suggests that regular running reduces the risk of death (especially from heart disease) across …
Quick intro this week, as I’m about to hike Mont Veyrier overlooking Lake Annecy in southeastern France. I should have some great photos later today over on Instagram. Whether you study the teachings of the Buddha, read the thoughts of the Stoics, or follow the modern practice of cognitive behavioral therapy, you’ll note that they …
I’ve been continuing to think about how we’re turning to extreme athleticism in midlife. The trend seems to be more about “getting better at getting older,” rather than a response to some fabled crisis — and that’s a good thing.
