One of the greatest moments of my life. Also ruined me to only enjoy being an entrepreneur 😂🥳

I sorted 100,000 comments on the biggest health shows. The #1 struggle wasn't weight or sleep. It was anxiety.

In a trial of 276 adults with anxiety disorders, an 8-week mindfulness class worked about as well as a common medication (Hoge et al., JAMA Psychiatry 2023). Don't stop meds without your prescriber.

Can a to-do list help you fall asleep? A sleep lab at Baylor tested it, and the answer was yes, about 9 minutes faster.

For years a voice in my head asked every hour: is this the best use of your time? I called it my superpower. It was worry.

I'm almost 45 and had never heard a bird's wings. Until I sat on a rock in Arizona with no phone. You won't hear how loud your life is until you turn it down.

I thought I was the healthiest guy in the room. Then my blood work showed high inflammation (CRP of 4). Feeling fine is not the same as being fine.

Is worry protecting you or wearing you out? For most of my adult life, a voice asked me one question every hour: is this the best use of your time?

I believe living against your conscience makes you sick, slowly. Right or left, both sides push on it.

Save this election week checklist. After one tragedy, people who watched 6+ hours of news a day were more stressed than people who were there.

Candor is a superpower at work. The best teams give people room to disagree and still pull in the same direction.

Families who voted differently cut Thanksgiving dinner short by up to 50 minutes (Chen & Rohla, Science 2018). Thanksgiving is 3 weeks away.

A mild inflammatory trigger made people feel more disconnected from others (a UCLA lab study). Feeling disliked? Check your body first.

Each side thinks the other dislikes them about twice as much as it really does (Moore-Berg et al., PNAS 2020). The person you're bracing for is probably bracing for you too.

Your team won't all vote the same. Keep the all-hands about the work you share, and if politics comes up, ask what's worrying them most. Then listen.

The best way to talk politics with family: one question. "What worries you most right now?" Then listen.

6+ hours a day of bombing coverage left people more stressed than being at the Boston Marathon (Holman et al., PNAS 2014). Watch the news dose this week.

After the 2016 election, heart attack and stroke visits jumped 62% in 2 days (Mefford et al., PNAS 2020). Not the result. The stress.
