I loved my conversation with @DeepakChopra. He shared his “STOP formula” for pausing before reacting — one small shift that can transform how we move through life: 🔹 S – Stop. 🔹 T – Take 3 deep breaths and smile. 🔹 O – Observe your breath and sensations in your body. 🔹 P –…

Congratulations to the 48 new students in the inaugural class of the Alice L. Walton School of Medicine in Bentonville, Arkansas. In fact, the news isn’t just a new class of doctors, but a new way forward for our entire healthcare system. As @AliceParkNY writes in @TIME, the…

Love this from @draditinerurkar

"We’re now getting the first glimpses of the vastness of inner space. This internal, hidden, intimate cosmos commands its own goals, imperatives, and logic." That's from @davideagleman's great new book, "Incognito: The Secret Lives of the Brain." I know there is a lot of…

Love this important new piece by @OpenAI’s incoming CEO of Applications (and former Instacart CEO), @fidjissimo, about the ways in which AI will empower people. And I couldn’t agree more with her about the exciting breakthroughs for AI in healthcare. As Fidji writes, healthcare…

The shift being driven by AI is seismic, and it includes a much-needed course-correction on our never-ending journey to reach our full potential, which was never going to happen with our intellect on the throne. What will make that journey less challenging is embracing the…

The power of gratitude — love this reminder from @YungPueblo.

Here's one from the archives. I’ve always struggled with this problem, though at the time I didn’t know the name of it: rumination. I call it the obnoxious roommate living in my head, and as this interview makes clear, we’ve been lifelong roommates! What I know now — and wish…

A masterclass in failure. That’s what @HarvardHBS professor Amy Edmondson called the speech by Amanda Anisimova after she lost 6–0, 6–0 in the Wimbledon final. Anisimova graciously praised winner Iga Świątek, thanked the fans, and also apologized to them, and then tearfully…

We are, as the saying goes, creatures of habit. According to a study from Duke University, around 45 percent of our everyday actions are made up of habits. As my compatriot Aristotle put it, “Habit’s but a long practice,” which “becomes men’s nature in the end.” So our…

AI is now surpassing humans in intelligence, but we need to stop confusing intelligence with wisdom. Super-intelligent AI can also mean super-delusional AI. As @harari_yuval pointed out at Unholy: Live in London, super-intelligent AI doesn’t mean super-wise or super-truthful…

Deeply saddened to hear about Andrea Gibson, who died at 49 after a courageous journey with cancer. On Thrive’s @MeditativeStory podcast, Gibson gave a moving reflection on grace and clarity while navigating the end of life. You can listen to it here: meditativestory.com/people/andrea-…

Remember to pause before you hit empty...

So sad to hear of the passing of David Gergen, a friend who advised four presidents. Here with @DanJKatz who was David's chief researcher before he became my chief of staff.

“White-hot, blinding but invisible, frantic but elephantine—all earthly things gathered up in a piercing nuclear bundle behind the eyeball.” That’s @tomzellerjr writing about his cluster headaches in his new book “The Headache: The Science of a Most Confounding Affliction—and a…

In terms of our health and well-being, how important are our genes versus our daily lifestyle behaviors, like food, movement, sleep, stress management, and connection? Turns out the latter has a much bigger impact — in fact, research shows that our genes account for less than…
