What lies at the root of every relationship problem is a core “wound of the heart” that affects not only our personal relations, but the quality of life in our world as a whole. This wounding shows up as a pervasive mood of unlove, a deep sense that we are not intrinsically lovable just as we are. We experience ourselves as separated from love, and this shuts down our capacity to trust....

This short animation from the London School of Life shows how an apology can make all the difference. Explaining you are sorry for how you acted and explaining how you felt is an important tool for keeping up a healthy relationship. A sincere and thoughtful apology is a meaningful message to our partners that we care, and an offhand “I’m sorry,” isn’t enough. “All apologies aren’t created equal,” says Christine Carter, a sociologist and happiness expert, “a good apology is something of an art....

Here, pasta points the way: it’s impossible to imagine a bowl of plain boiled spaghetti being set on the table, no matter what else is being served. And this is also true of rice. Consider the recipe for “Rice as a Side Dish” in Pellegrino Artusi’s classic Science in the Kitchen and The Art of Eating Well (1891): If you are serving the rice with a stew of milk-fed veal or veal chops, rather than with boiled chicken, in addition to the ingredients mentioned above, add two or three tablespoons of spinach which you have boiled and passed through a sieve....

Yet, there is a “rub”—a strange irony to our circumstances. Despite such remarkable prosperity, too many of us find ourselves increasingly depressed, anxious, and unhappy. And, in the midst of such anguish, we aren’t treating each other well. Nearly 90% of us feel that rudeness in everyday social encounters is getting worse. And on the job, 78% of us feel disrespected, bullied, or demeaned. In short, while those of us living and working in developed countries are profoundly prosperous with resources unimaginable to the billions of humans who came before us, we are, nonetheless, increasingly dissatisfied....

This air is very cold and doesn’t hold much moisture. Because the plane is dry, you will dry out quickly, too! An easy tip to try and combat your skin and hair losing moisture is to drink TONS of water!...

Some people worry that self-compassion will make them soft, but it actually gives us incredible power. Olivia Stevenson from the University of Northern Colorado and Ashley Batts Allen from the University of North Carolina examined how self-compassion and inner strength were linked in over 200 women. They found that participants with higher scores on the SCS (self-compassion scale) felt more empowered: They felt stronger and more competent, asserted themselves more, felt more comfortable expressing anger, were more aware of cultural discrimination and committed to social activism....

“I see a lot of products coming out based on an easy-to-measure metric,” says Jud Brewer, Director of Research and Innovation at the Mindfulness Center at Brown University. “Yet gadgets should be driven by science, not the other way around. And from a practice standpoint, I’d like to see tools that help hone our internal awareness rather than reliance on looking at a screen to tell us whether we are meditating “correctly....

Why should you care? It is hard to understate the role attention plays in your life. What you attend to is what your life becomes. Spend time giving attention to baseball statistics, and that becomes part of your life. Focus on the healthy development of children, and that becomes part of your life. The choices you make about how—and what—you invest attention in form your life’s structure and content. As demands for our attention become ever more seductive, it has become essential to be more conscious of how you’re using your attention....

By all rights I should’ve been terrified when the COVID-19 pandemic started. After all, I’m one of those vulnerable, immune-suppressed people that we’re all supposed to shield from illness, but over the last two years, I’ve found that I’ve had a more stable emotional experience than most of the people I’ve interacted with. Pandemics are a kind of chronic illness on a societal level. For many people, COVID was the first experience of a health threat that persisted over a long period of time....

Why I’m Loving This Gel Serum for My Natural Curls For the past few weeks I’ve been styling my hair with the Suave Professionals Luxe Style Infusion Curl Defining Gel Serum.

By Daniel Goleman and Peter M. Senge More than three decades of research shows that telling our kids they are smart and praising achievement is not the way to get results. A new article in Scientific American, “The Secret to Raising Smart Kids,” suggests that “focusing on ‘process,’ rather than intelligence or talent, produces high achievers in school and in life.” This process consists of personal effort and effective strategies....
