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 …
Howdy! Here’s what I’ve got for you in this week’s Further: The (possible) BIG benefit of intermittent fasting How to crush work in the age of automation The siesta solution to better decisions The no-BS keys to getting in the zone Plus plenty more … And while we’re on the topic of becoming better than …

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 …

We know that perseverance is the secret sauce of success. Whatever you’re aiming for, not giving up seems to be an obvious critical component. Whether you’re starting a business, running your first marathon, or learning a new language, the ability to maintain your momentum counts for way more than natural talent, innate intelligence, or even …
Greetings from Grenoble, France! We’ve settled in to our home for the fall, which has freed me up to think … about thinking. I ended up writing an article about decision making that pulls from the intersection of process, goals, and habits. I think you’ll enjoy it, and hopefully you find it helpful: The Three …
In 1994, Ben Stiller tried to capture the essence of 20-something Generation X with his directorial debut, Reality Bites. The film is somewhat cringey (Cameron Crowe did it better with Singles), but you had to enjoy what came out of the mouth of Ethan Hawke’s acerbic slacker, Troy. Notably, answering a phone call with “Hello, …
