I just caught this great interview driving in the car. He had so many great analogies. My favorite (to paraphrase) was how anxiety is like a fossil fuel: it’s a really powerful release of energy but it doesn’t burn cleanly. Find a fuel to motivate you that doesn’t also wreck you

The Alpinist on Netflix! So beautiful, inspiring, and moving… lots of emotions. Not an easy, feel-good movie, but it’s good to deal with complex emotions sometimes and not always looks for the easy escape @thealpinistfilm

Thanks for sharing your experience. I found reading An Unquiet Mind quite helpful to see someone really suffering during a research career and still manage to get through it and not be afraid to share her struggles with the world

One Hundred Years of Solitude. The language is just so beautiful. Even in the middle of reading it I kept thinking “this is the best book I’ve ever read.”

Man’s Search for Meaning is definitely one of the best in that genre

Great article! I often find people confuse “statistical significance” with “meaningful impact.” Science is usually better at identifying treatments that give consistent small effects than ones that are more variable but might be much more impactful

Congrats on the success of the pre-ordering for Good Anxiety! I just saw that it's already #5 of all books on Amazon: [link] And I love the concept! It's so powerful to help people focus on the positive, and essential, aspects of #anxiety

Great essay! I was glad I happened to also hear the great interview you had with @MHarrisPerry

For parents who want less stress and more connection with their kids, check out reflective parenting. Here’s a great interview (with my mom) about it

I recommend the book Difficult Conversations. I found it very helpful. Not about race at all, just any discussion where feelings run hot. Sounds like you’re trying to stick to the facts with something that’s inherently emotional (ie feelings about other people’s suffering).

I found this article helpful and inspiring:

Thanks to @DrMaidenberg for the great article
