What if our most productive selves aren't when we're on Zoom calls or churning through emails, but when we give ourselves the space and the time to move, think, and rest? Move. Think. Rest. outlines a compelling new framework for work in the 21st century-one that replaces slowly dying of burnout at your desk with a productivity routine that makes downtime a must-have.
And so rather than talk about who those actors are that hold them at risk or talk about coalitions of one form or another that might take on coalitions of malign actors, let's talk about the needs of our citizens and that everyone wants to live in a crime-free world. That might sound like a bit of a panacea, but there's no one that would argue against that.
There's an old Latin phrase that has stayed with me lately: Succisa virescit. The translation roughly means, "When cut down, we grow back stronger." Originally the sixth-century motto of the Benedictine Abbey of Monte Cassino, it reflects a simple but profound truth about the human condition-growth often begins in the aftermath of loss. What was once a call to spiritual and physical resilience has become, for me, a powerful metaphor for cognition itself,
Over the 2023 and 2024 seasons, the fearsomeness that had defined Springer's career vanished. And yet he balked at the idea that numbers would define him. He still believed greatness existed within, and any hope at a resurgence necessitated him being his truest self. Which is why every day when the music in the Toronto Blue Jays' clubhouse thumped through the speakers, Springer would start to dance.
The Angel Orensanz Foundation shimmered like a secular cathedral on Sept. 29th, when Project for Empty Space convened its fifteenth Badass Art Woman Awards. This was not a gala in the predictable sense. It was ritual, a liturgy of resilience, a convocation of women who have made it their life's work to cultivate beauty, sustain truth, and preserve the radical power of art in a world increasingly hostile to difference.
"In those years, I stayed in the George V [hotel] in Paris. I went to New York first class. I really had a great time spending that money," he tells Katie Byrne on the latest episode of the Money Talks podcast "I loved it, but I spent it with the faith that there'd be more money. I was never going to sit on a suitcase of money out of fear."
We often conceptualize resilience as an abstract or fixed concept-inaccurately believing that you either have it or you don't. We mistakenly assume it is a personality feature that determines how or whether we recover from adversity. What we don't often realize, however, is that resilience is more like a skill, or a set of skills, that can be built and used to enhance our capacity for living.
We live in a culture that celebrates speed. We respond to emails at all hours of the day, have packed schedules, and feel pressure to be constantly productive. This drive to keep going is fueled by expectations-our own and others'. Yet when we push beyond our limits, we risk not only exhaustion but also the loss of vital resources like physical and mental health, our capacity for emotional regulation, and strong relationships.
In his book The Narrative Brain: The Stories Our Neurons Tell, he points out that most of the Grimm brothers' fairy tales center on the vulnerability of their heroes. This vulnerability is often borne out of an earlier trauma-abandonment or orphanhood, for example-which leaves its character hypervigilant to danger and presumably with a certain level of cunning at recognizing and responding to that threat.
If you've seen the hit FX series "The Bear," you'll know that running a restaurant is tough. It seems like every episode there's a new obstacle for Carmy Berzatto and his team to hurdle, whether it's preparing for cutthroat reviewers, affording enough stock, offering timely attentive service, or simply getting customers through the door. It's a TV series, sure, but many have praised its accurate representation of the industry.
It's a big, big point for us at home as well with the crowd behind us, We were down a player, but we showed great mentality and we never gave up. We have a strong mentality and even with 10 men we wanted to press, even though it was tough at times. We believe in ourselves and we believe in each other. The supporters were with us and pushing us all the way, and I'm sure they will continue to do so this season.
Steve Harvey is everywhere. He hosts Family Feud (including its celebrity and African editions), he stars in his own courtroom comedy show Judge Steve Harvey, and runs a four-hour weekday radio program. Add to that a clothing line, investments, a foundation, and a sprawling resume of other venues, and it's clear Harvey has built his own personal empire. But it wasn't always glitz and success for the now 68-year-old.
In Rise Above: Overcome a Victim Mindset, Empower Yourself, and Realize Your Full Potential (Penguin, 2025), psychologist Scott Barry Kaufman delivers a timely and incisive critique of what he calls "victim mindset culture"-the growing tendency for individuals to view themselves primarily through the lens of past hurts and limitations, rather than as active agents in their own growth and transformation.
How we experience happiness used to follow a predictable rhythm. For decades, researchers across psychology and economics identified a stable "U-curve" of life satisfaction. We start off high as children, dip in early adulthood under the weight of responsibility and uncertainty, and rebound in old age once perspective softens the sharper edges of life. This was never some immutable law of nature, mind you. It was an artefact of the way our lives stacked up.
In the final moments before Saturday's match, Tyrhys Dolan will pick up his phone and look at the photo of Jeremy Wisten, the best friend for whom he would give it all up. He will touch the No 24 on his shirt, chosen to commemorate the day Jeremy died, aged 18. And then he will head out to where it all comes to him and it all leaves him too. I feel nervous every game, Dolan says, but when I'm walking though the tunnel it's like it's all dropping off me, the shackles fall. All the graft, everything you gave to get here, this is it, now you're free.
It is a quiet midweek afternoon on the outskirts of Bristol and, up to now, Natasha Mo' Hunt has been her normal upbeat self. England's scrum-half has been discussing any number of topics, from her love of rugby's tactical nuances to her croissant-loving fans, with the easy confidence of someone relishing every second of this women's Rugby World Cup. Her sparkly eyed positivity is such that it's easy to forget she has had to escape the heart of darkness to be here.
By the way, dreams come true, and you can make your dreams come true if you manifest and if you go after that goal, that north star, knowing that along the way there are going to be roadblocks and obstacles,
The impact of adverse childhood experiences ( ACEs) has been well established since a landmark population-based study published in the late 1990s demonstrated a strong association between exposure to toxic stress in childhood and a wide range of adverse mental and physical health outcomes in adulthood, from substance use to cancer. Since the original study by Felitti et al. (1998), subsequent research has validated the graded, dose-dependent relationship between childhood adversity and adult health.
Whether it's peer relationships, puberty, or family strife, today's children often experience high levels of stress, anxiety, and worry. As a psychologist who works with parents, many moms, dads, and caregivers regularly ask me, "How can I help my kids feel better?" While we can't control what happens in the world, parents can equip their kids with education in emotions, a much-needed life skill. Being able to temper sharp emotions can prevent symptoms of depression, research shows.
1. Reconnect With An Impactful Client I reconnect with a client whose music I truly believe in-music that I feel makes the world a better place. It reminds me that our work is bigger than us, with meaning that goes far beyond the workspace. - Waylon Barnes, C2 Management 2. Find Motivation In Mission-Based Work With my agency's focus on healthcare, health tech and life sciences, our team is lucky to work with companies that truly can change people's health and lives for the better-and in some cases, even save them. Keeping that mission-based work top of mind is an incredible motivator to keep going even when the going gets tough! - Jodi Amendola, Amendola Communications
Let's be real-it's not easy. Scaling a manufacturing company is messy, unpredictable, and often brutal. My job as CEO is not to hide the chaos, it's to cut through it and get to the finish line. We've built systems, habits, and a culture that make the hard things manageable. From the outside that might look like ease. But every single day there is grit.
Western culture has taught us that suffering is a problem to be solved, discomfort a symptom to be medicated away, and trauma something to avoid at all costs. Yet, research by psychologists Richard Tedeschi and Lawrence Calhoun suggests we may have this entirely backwards. Their work on post-traumatic growth reveals that some of life's most profound transformations-positive changes in self-perception and relationships, greater self-awareness and confidence,
