Surfing the web often comes at the cost of face-to-face time with friends and family.

Change your story, change your power.

People will often say "You can't change other people." My research shows this societal belief is not only dis-empowering, it is scientifically false.

I try to only vent when I really need to process something, and let the rest go.

Even five minute meaningful conversations with other people not only fuel us in the moment but also build up a reserve of social capital so that when hard times strike, we can draw down on that bank account.

I recently wanted to exercise more, and instead of trying to remind myself about all the health benefits and designing an effective (but boring) workout routine, I thought of the moments in my life when getting a workout has been the most fun.

Fun can be a great motivator.
