We spend hours in the gym, fine-tuning our strength, posture, and presence. But when it comes time for a picture — whether it’s a mirror selfie, a Zoom headshot, or a night out with friends — the wrong angle can betray all that hard work. That’s why I swear by the forehead-forward trick. It’s one of those subtle, almost invisible adjustments that instantly changes how you look in a photo. Why I’m Obsessed Most of us instinctively lean back or tuck our chin when we smile for pictures, which creates unwanted shadows under the jawline (hello, accidental double chin). By…
There’s a hidden switch inside ChatGPT that changes everything about the way you interact with it. It’s called Memory. As the name suggests, Memory allows ChatGPT to remember things you tell it — your preferences, your goals, your quirks. Instead of starting from scratch in every conversation, you can build a thread of continuity, almost like you would with a coach, a mentor, or a close friend. The ChatGPT memory used to be so-so. It was like, didn’t I JUST say that? But earlier this year, OpenAI introduced a more advanced memory system, and it’s become much more powerful. If you’re using…

What I learned by answering like one—and then answering as myself. If the internet has a favorite personality accusation, it’s narcissist.It’s practically a dating app default. But what does it actually mean? So I decided to find out—for real. 🧠 Narcissism: Not Just About Mirrors The term comes from Narcissus, a character in Greek mythology who fell in love with his own reflection. It’s become shorthand for self-absorption, but narcissism is more about emotional manipulation, lack of empathy, and fragile ego than it is about selfies. 🧪 I Took the Quiz—Two Ways The quiz I used was the [Psychology Today…

You know that feeling when a song comes on, and suddenly you’re not where you are—you’re back in high school, at your favorite beach, or driving down the highway with the windows down, singing your heart out? That’s not just a vibe—it’s therapy. The Mental Health Power of Music Music is medicine. Music triggers memory, and memory triggers emotion. Studies have shown that music engages various areas of the brain, including those associated with memory and emotion, like the hippocampus and the prefrontal cortex. Nostalgia, it turns out, is good for you—it creates a sense of continuity, joy, and even…
There was a time when size 0 wasn’t a tag—it was a goal. In the 1990s, thin wasn’t just in. It was everything. The cultural ideal of beauty was dictated by fashion runways, glossy magazine covers, and the meteoric rise of the supermodel—a phenomenon that redefined what it meant to be desirable, successful, and seen. For an entire generation, the message was clear: to be beautiful, you had to be skinny. Really skinny. The higher the cheekbones, the closer to God. My Lifelong Battle with Food and Body Image I was always the “chubby” kid. Not chubby enough to be…

Welcome to EMR Syndrome Have you ever walked into a room loaded with Wi-Fi routers, Bluetooth gadgets, smart meters, and cell towers buzzing overhead—and suddenly felt… off?

You might have dismissed it as stress, dehydration, or just “one of those days.” But what if the real culprit is hiding in plain sight—silently humming all around you? That uncomfortable feeling finally has a name: EMR Syndrome, short for Electromagnetic Radiation Syndrome. A Modern Health Crisis With a New…

Every January, gyms across the world witness a surge in activity as individuals embark on their New Year’s Resolutions to get fit with determination and high spirits. However, by February, a staggering 80 percent of these resolutions fall by the wayside. The crowded gym floors of January become sparse, and the enthusiasm fades away. But fear not! This year, I came up with a key to for you to break the cycle that does not involve shilling out 2K for a piece of equipment that will eventually be a clothes hanger.
Ditch the glass, stow away the corkscrew, and prepare to embark on the adventure of a “Dry January.” This trend of abstaining from alcohol for the entire month has gained popularity over the years, promising not just a hangover-free start to the year but also a chance to reevaluate your relationship with that tempting tipple. So, should you hop on the sober bandwagon? Let’s uncork your Dry January Guide!
This summer Simon Biles made a miraculous comeback from the “twisties” that caused her to leave the Tokyo Olympics two years ago. How did she do it? She let go and focused on other more important things in life. In other words, she “Wu-Weid” her way into success. What’s Wu-Wei? It is is the art of “trying not to try.” Wu-wei (无为) is a concept from Chinese philosophy, particularly associated with Daoism (Taoism). It can be translated as “non-action,” “effortless action,” or “actionless action.” Wu-wei is a fundamental idea in Daoism and has also influenced other Chinese philosophical and cultural…

‘Hustle Culture’ is a loaded term that means showing the world what a boss you are. And as busy people, we live on this. Striving and staying positive – that’s the thing, right? I even have ‘hustle’ in the title of my book. But it can go too far – and become a ‘toxic hustle’ culture where we are obsessed with being busy and squeezing everything out of every second. What’s worse, it has become somewhat of a competition. Humble brags on social media along with prideful declaration of one being “swamped” are the new status symbol. In today’s toxic…
It was the fall of 1992. Kieran and Olivia* had just been married. Kieran went to the bank to make a deposit in their joint savings account (note the date – none of this was avaiable via online transaction). The teller asked him “which account?” He snapped his head up and asked her back. “What do you mean which account? There’s another account?” There was another account.
“If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.” – African proverb The Whiteboarding. The coffee machine hissing. The Bright lights. The Big monitors. The hum of the printer and the sound of people chatter mixing with the clacks of the keyboard for an ambient tone (in fact, you can actually download it if you want.)
The 50th anniversary issue throwback theme continues! I was at the gym recently and was listening to “Footloose” – a song that gets me flying on the treadmill. Then I thought, wouldn’t it be cool to see the music video while I listen to the song? And it was. So I set out to find the best dance music videos, or at least my top 5.
