Dear leaders: It’s time to stop penalizing people for unplugging on nights & weekends. 16 studies: Managers know detaching boosts performance & well-being, but still judge it as a lack of dedication in hiring & promotions. Healthy boundaries should be rewarded, not punished.

One of the most reliable ways to improve our mental health is to help others. After being randomly assigned to do just 3 acts of kindness a week, people felt significantly less depressed, anxious, and lonely. Lifting others up elevates us too. Giving shows us that we matter.
