The Golden Rule when you're learning a new skill‼️👇

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

Multitasking isn't just unproductive—it's stressful too.

Average attention on a screen has fallen from 2.5min in 2004 to 75sec in 2012 to 47sec today. Rapid switching puts our nervous systems on alert.

The best way to keep calm and carry on is to focus on one thing at a time.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

People who post incessantly about politics don’t represent the population. They represent the least intelligent, least caring subset.

Data: The 2 robust predictors of online political activity are low cognitive ability and high psychopathy.

Don't mistake outliers for the norm.

💥 THE 2026 FIFA WORLD CUP IS THIS YEAR 💥

[Andrew D. Huberman, Ph.D. @hubermanlab]

We have lost too many people around this time of year to not say it: reach out to those you haven’t heard from in a while, ask them how they are really doing, grab a coffee a walk or a hike. Chances are, someone you know is in despair. It can make a difference.

[Ari Meirov @MySportsUpdate]

Nebraska HC Matt Rhule took 3 minutes today to talk about mental health following the tragic death of #Cowboys DE Marshawn Kneeland:

“Our generation of kids — my kids — they all just say, ‘Yeah, I’m fine. I’m straight.’ You really gotta unearth it. … That young man scored a TD just a couple days ago, and to the outside world you’d think he’s at the pinnacle. But he was dealing with something — I don’t know what it was. But I pray for him, him and his family.”

Watch this in full... Incredible message:

USMNT and Real Salt Lake attacker opened up on his mental health struggles in a powerful article with The Players’ Tribune 🙏❤️

"I am gasping for air."
"I can barely speak."
"I'm calling my older brother, Armando, and I'm crying and screaming. He’s like, “Bro, relax ... What’s wrong?”
“I’m having a panic attack.”
"And I have no idea why."
"All I know is that it’s 2021, I’m 17 years old, and I’m playing for El Paso Locomotive. On the pitch, I’m living the dream. But, every other day, I’ll lock the door to my room, close the curtains and sit on the bed and cry. I’ll doomscroll in the dark for hours. I’ll stare into the wall, and my mind will spin out of control again. Why am I so unhappy? What is wrong with me?"
…
"Most people talk about mental health for adults, and that’s important. But I’m proof that young people need help just as much."

"I’ve played for three clubs in four states."
"I’ve had a son at 19."

"I can honestly say that, without help, I’d be a lost cause."

"Without therapy, I might be one of those names that make people go, “Ah yeah, Diego Luna … What happened to him?”"

[Devin Rapp @devinrapp]

Our AMJ article is now published. We highlight how “healthcare heroes” became “dirty heroes,” being both celebrated and stigmatized for their work during the pandemic. We speak broadly to "hero-washing" where workers get publicly thanked but privately neglected

Hey managers: to keep your people, let them work from home 2 days a week.

Landmark experiment (1600+ ppl, 2yrs): random assignment to hybrid work
-Increased satisfaction
-Reduced quitting by 33% (especially for women & long commuters)
-No costs for performance or promotion rates

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

The best place to relax is near water.

After just 2 minutes of viewing water outdoors, blood pressure and heart rate drop. It's more calming to look at a lake, pool, or stream than trees or grass.

Beaches are popular for a reason. Wider bodies of water bring more tranquility.
