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.

Well, the adventure begins … a literal trip around the world. I’m not talking about a 2-3 week vacation. The family and I will be gone for at least the next six months, maybe a year. We’ll spend this fall in France, then a short visit to Japan before spending the winter (their summer) in …

Eating healthy shouldn’t be so complicated. The one thing that’s absolutely clear, however, is that how you fuel your body impacts your weight, fitness, longevity, memory, focus, mood, and more. In other words, it’s an important enough topic to figure out what works best. Turns out that in addition to what you eat, when matters …
Self-help gurus will tell you that you’re the average of the five people you spend the most time with. If that’s to be believed, many of us might want to find a few new friends. Turns out there’s scientific validity to that assertion. Who you spend time with can impact your health and happiness more …
Given that this is a publication that promises weekly resources for “health, wealth, and personal growth,” it’s helpful to define what we mean when we say wealth. Money immediately comes to mind, but true wealth is much more than that. We all need money, but how you make that money, and even how you think …
Hey there, and welcome to the latest issue of Further! I didn’t really have anything in mind for a feature this week, but once I settled on the top ten selections, a theme emerged from a few of the resources. That theme in a nutshell? Nature is good for you in lots of ways, and …
