From the May 29, 2019 issue of Further If we each find our individual reason to live long and prosper, medical science may allow us to live significantly longer. That said, we’re understandably concerned about how to keep going with vitality and panache. But life is busy, and who has time to pursue the kind …
From the May 15, 2019 issue of Further At a recent dinner party, meditative practices were the hot topic. I chatted with a Reiki hobbyist, a QiGong enthusiast, and a friend who insisted I try a “Chakra Lullaby” class at her drop-in meditation studio. Of course it’s not news that an ancient practice dominates today’s …
From the May 8, 2019 issue of Further Gen Xers are leaders, and we’re resilient. Surveys say we’re the hardest workers and have the strongest work ethic. At the same time, we’re not happy at work — so what’s the disconnect? Many of us are simply burned out. And despite the attempt by Millennials to …
From the May 1, 2019 issue of Further News flash: the “Golden Years” for Generation X will be much more challenging than it has been for the generations that came before us. What, you expected normalcy now? Social Security and Medicare are heading towards insolvency. We keep hearing how Gen Xers are unhappy at work, …
From the April 24, 2019 issue of Further When I was in my early 40s, I hiked the 17 miles of the Grand Canyon’s South Rim in and out in a day. It was grueling and exhilarating. But the best part wasn’t the climb itself; it was finally giving myself a good reason to ratchet …
From the April 17, 2019 issue of FurtherWe each have our own way to organize the day. Lists tend to top the, well … list, but they’re not necessarily the most productive use of your time. That’s true whether they’re comprised of to-do’s, won’t do’s, or accomplishment-celebrating ta-das. Organizing your daily workload by tasks can …
From the April 10, 2019 issue of Further “Working relationship” is the ultimate oxymoron when you’re dealing with a micromanager. Or a victim, slacker, or critic for that matter. And it does matter, because going to work with a pit in your stomach is the worst … and nowadays we count on our jobs to …
From the March 27, 2019 issue of Further Nobody in their right mind in Los Angeles would consider doing this: I started commuting to work — even though I’m a freelancer. I’ll concede that “right mind” combined with “Los Angeles” may be an oxymoron to some. But that’s not the point. Like more than over …
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 …
From the March 13, 2019 issue of Further Fear of missing out — or FOMO — is a fascinating thing. Especially when you consider that it’s largely sparked by the digital device you carry around with you. FOMO was coined by internet entrepreneur Caterina Fake back in 2011. That was (not coincidentally) about a year …
From the February 27, 2019 issue of Further As a kid, I was confronted by mom’s favorite George Bernard Shaw quote every time I opened the refrigerator: We don’t stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing. It’s true that without imagination, wonder, and risk-taking, things get old, fast. Embracing …
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 …
