It’s been a minute since I’ve had a shoutout on @Jeopardy! Sadly no one got it! Still stumping & challenging after several decades! (Although I considered myself a logician first, but I’ll take it @KenJennings! 😉 #jeopardy

It’s almost like… what we hear often about delaying gratification… “To be without some of the things you want is an indispensable part of happiness." Can you live with simplicity? Is denial essential to well-being? #Happiness

Funny how instead we added more hours to the day. How can we spread the word and be our best selves? https://t.co/zsUwkpkaHw via @Harpers #selfcare

Does anyone feel overworked? Did you know in the 1940s I wrote an essay called the praise of idleness. With the technology at that time I suspected humans only work FOUR hours a day and less as technology increases.

“One of the symptoms of an approaching nervous breakdown is the belief that one's work is terribly important.” Thanks to @HBO show #SuccessionHBO for the #BertrandRussell love! It’s so true, when we can only see what we do and not who we are, we lose touch...
