When we were younger, we thought there would be a point when we’d feel like a grown-up — maybe 30 (ha!) and certainly by 40. And following that line of thinking, we’d reach a point where we started to feel old, like 50. I’m 51, and I don’t feel old. Hell, I don’t even feel …
It’s been a crazy couple of weeks. My family and I packed up and left France after three months, and took a long flight to Tokyo. The jet lag was brutal, even with the shorter trip from Europe. Tokyo is a fascinating place, but the lack of sleep combined with the culture shock made for …
Last week we talked about why people our age may live quite a bit longer. If that didn’t exactly get you fired up, you may be in the middle-age slump. The worst part about it is you can’t really figure out what’s wrong. You might even be enjoying the greatest success of your life so …
Right now, hundreds of millions of dollars are being poured into longevity research and a variety of medical treatments to eliminate aging-related diseases, and is expected to become a $200 billion industry. Separately, billions are aimed at defeating cancer, and we seem on the verge of a solution. This flurry of effort and optimism has …
Starting a business is the American Dream — two-thirds (66%) of U.S. citizens hope to open a small business according to the Inside Small Business Survey. And given that the average age of a successful startup founder is 45, that likely means many of my fellow Gen Xers are looking to make the dream a …
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 …

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. So it stands to reason that if endurance activities can help us develop greater perseverance …
