A bi-weekly Saturday listicle on life, wellness, and everything in between.

The mental health epidemic is nothing new, but in The Anxious Generation with social psychologist Jonathan Haidt on A Bit of Optimism, he and Simon Sinek offer a unique starting point on the issues of teenage mental health, childhood, and technology in the era of smartphones and social media. A surprising moment in the conversation was their discussion on why democracy, the way it stands today, is not working, especially regarding individual well-being, even going as far as saying that maybe China is actually doing better in today’s climate of hyper-information. This is a relevant conversation if you’re thinking about future generations.
