We've all heard the saying that young brains are like sponges, absorbing knowledge effortlessly, while older brains are set in their ways and resistant to change. There is some truth to this conventional wisdom, but the story is not as simple as it seems.

So, as we go about our daily lives, let's try to be more attentive to the small things. Let us find pride in the art of making our bed with care or when making pancakes for the kids on a Sunday morning.

We find ourselves engaged in shallow exchanges through short text messages, the click of a “like” button, and the superficial unnuanced nature of snaps and emails. While these modes of communication offer convenience and instant gratification, they often lack depth and fail to foster genuine connection.

When reading the book "Digital Minimalism" by Cal Newport, we encountered an appealing concept that left a lasting impression on us—the notion of high-quality leisure.

Before modern industry and agriculture, general movement played an integral part in our ancestors’ lives. For them, movement was not a conscious choice or an optional addition to their day. It was an integral part of their very survival. Whether it was hunting, gathering, farming, or tending to their homes—our ancestors were in constant motion. They traversed vast landscapes, exerted themselves in various physical tasks, and forged deep connections between their bodies and the natural world.

It’s great to have an unconditional love for yourself, and to feel positive about how you are in the world, but it’s also very informative to have an honest assessment of yourself from a trusted advisor.

Today, we want to revisit a topic we have touched upon in previous posts: the relationship between aesthetics and health span.

Picture yourself at 70 or even 80 years old. What can you still do? Can you imagine yourself still jumping, running, picking up a grandchild, and getting off the toilet?

The different AI tools have gotten a lot of attention lately, and we wanted to see what the fuzz was all about. So, we thought that we should try and see how we, and you our information-hungry reader, can utilize this new tool.

So, the question is, when you have an all-powerful and a bit confused AI, what do you ask it and how should you ask it? Well, let’s find out.

We thought we would take advantage of the recent Easter holiday to use the theme of resurrection as applied to getting back in the swing of a fitness routine.

The average American teenager averages 7 hours and 16 minutes of screen time per day, according to a 2023 survey by Comparitech and Common Sense Media. Kids from lower-income homes spend an alarming average of 9 hours and 19 minutes per day on their screens

This one may sound a bit complicated and maybe even a bit pretentious, but we think that this line of thinking can be quite useful to assess why we often feel empty and unfulfilled.
