Three Microsteps for improved sleep 🛏️ @thrive partnered with GreenRow (part of @WilliamsSonoma, which I’m on the board of) to share thoughtful ways to wind down and create a space that supports deeper rest. Let me know which one you’re going to try first! Discover the Sleep

When you're building with a clear mission, and founders who want to make history, anything is possible. Thanks to @agarfinks and @FortuneMagazine for telling this story, and to our founders for sharing their perspective @parkerconrad @zoink @winstonweinberg @ariannahuff

By helping us be more productive, AI is going to give us more downtime, which we can use to unplug and recharge or for tasks requiring more creativity and deep focus. At least that was the promise. But now the LLM rubber is hitting the organizational road, and a fascinating new

Running low on energy? This smoothie could be the boost you need. Try it for breakfast for some quick and convenient fuel, or sip it later in the day to fire up your afternoon engine. @SharkNinja

I love to read real books — not on screens with little arrows but on actual pages I can flip. And now, there's some real science to back me up. A 2024 meta-analysis of 49 studies in “The Journal of Educational Psychology” showed that reading comprehension is better with real

Did you know that heart disease is the leading cause of death for both women and men in America? February is Heart Month in America, and it's a great time to shine a light on women's health. In honor of American Heart Month, I loved joining my dear friend @NancyatHeart, the

"One of the most important decisions of my life would have been kind of messed up if it wasn't for AI helping connect the dots." That's from @OpenAI's CEO of Applications @fidjissimo, who had seen 20 doctors but none of them had been able to connect the dots of her health

If I could go back in time, I’d introduce my 22-year-old self to this quote from Brian Andreas: “Everything changed the day she figured out there was exactly enough time for the important things in her life.” Gaining this sense of time affluence can help lead us to both greater

Back-of-the-napkin ideas — scaled! Love this New Year’s gift from @bradkeywell to capture thoughts and ideas for the year ahead. As Brad writes, "Great ideas often start on the back of napkins. And more than ever, we need great ideas and boldness to pursue them. So, take a

So how about you: on most mornings do you hit the snooze button?

To snooze or not to snooze? That is the question. In the @nytimes, Melinda Wenner Moyer looks into whether it’s bad to hit the button. The answer, she writes, depends on why you’re hitting it. Is the need to snooze masking an underlying sleep issue? If so, it’s better to talk

What does Shakespeare have to teach us about the AI sycophancy problem? A lot, as it turns out. We can see the danger of sycophancy in Shakespeare’s most despicable villain in “Othello.” Iago so masterfully manipulates Othello into believing his wife Desdemona is unfaithful

“People don’t expect VCs to talk about faith, and how it drives their values, how they show up in the world, and the way they treat people.” That’s from my interview with @agarfinks in @FortuneMagazine, about working with @mamoonha, who led our Series C at @Thrive Global with

“Everything is constantly changing. The only thing that is certain is uncertainty.”  That’s from @janemariechen’s @TEDTalks where she shares what it was like for her to rebuild after her company failed and she lost her sense of self.  As Jane says, we can’t control the waves

So, what do you think: are periods in texts too aggressive?

Are periods pushy? Nitsuh Abebe reports in the @nytimes on how our communication has changed since the smartphone arrived. Since then, a “new tonal consensus” has emerged: the period seems “pointed, stern, passive-aggressive.” So to soften the tone, we add exclamation points.

Bristol Myers Squibb (@bmsnews) CEO Chris Boerner has emphasized that culture is a critical enabler of the company’s ability to successfully navigate complex business challenges, including the upcoming loss of exclusivity of two of its biggest blockbuster medicines. With the

Love this from Jennifer Garner, sharing with @SuleikaJaouad how her journal entries almost always end up turning into prayers. As Kierkegaard put it, “The function of prayer is not to influence God, but rather to change the nature of the one who prays.”

A beautiful essay by Sally Susman in honor of Holocaust Remembrance Day. As she writes, "At every turn, we can relinquish our bystander status and do something. Anything."   https://t.co/qJ5Y9hR2EG
