When someone loses a loved one, the pain can be overwhelming, reshaping their world. However, there’s a crucial distinction between mourning a loss and allowing that grief to dominate your life indefinitely, especially to the point of influencing the well-being of others around you. I recently encountered a woman who exemplified this struggle. She had lost her husband five years ago—a deeply tragic event, no doubt. Yet, the years s...

And how can we overcome it? Johann Hari has seen our current methods fail firsthand, as he has watched loved ones struggle to manage their addictions. He started to wonder why we treat addicts the way we do -- and if there might be a better way. As he shares in this deeply personal talk, his questions took him around the world, and unearthed some surprising and hopeful ways of thinking about an age-old problem.https://ww...

Still, somewhat mysteriously, it is often difficult to make the right choices for ourselves. We find ourselves hanging out with someone who leaves us feeling drained or choosing to eat fast food over a salad. We go through phases where...

Sometimes the things we say or think about ourselves can be very negative or critical and aren’t things we’d say to a friend or loved one. Practicing positive self-talk can help increase our self-confidence and curb the negative or harmful thought patterns that bring us down. It can be done by saying affirming things to yourself out loud, possibly in the mirror, or simply by rewording some of your thoughts so that they exhibit more ...

The younger one seemed distraught about dating in general.At one point, she said, “I don’t know what happened. Your generation had men who didn’t see us as people but still tried to protect us. My generation has men who really, truly hate us.”This sentiment stuck with me that entire day. Looking back to what life was like in my 20s, I realised that...
