In our cultural history, all emotions have been more culturally acceptable to women.

In my experience, staying in a marriage that my ex and I both agreed had all its best moments behind it was epically depressing.

In all of my looking at happiness, one thing I noticed right away is that the opposite of happiness isn't unhappiness or even depression, it's anxiety. It is something that can constantly block our happiness, or our chance to reach that sort of meditative state in our work or our home lives.

I'm sure there were plenty of loving, attentive mothers in the 'me generation,' but none of them lived at my house.

With each beat, the heart pumps nearly three ounces of blood into the arteries--seventy-five to ninety gallons an hour when the body is at rest.

A lot of women make choices based on how they saw their mother's choices working out, how they saw the choices of the women elders in their lives working out. There's some rebellion in that, but there's also some deep reflection.
