A Quintessential Lesson in World Peace from a Magical Mayan Bon Bon

A perfect sweet of a movie reveals what could heal us, but first we have to succumb to enchantment One of the most marvelous gifts of art, whether it’s cooking or making movies, is how art heals us if we would but just let it. The current spate of modern-day book burning among deeply ignorant and fearful parents speaks to the unspeakable lack of joy in such lives, and…

The Most Important Health Article You May Ever Read

Yeah, it sounds like clickbait. But it isn’t. There’s nothing like starting an article with a chip on your shoulder (Yah, yah, here it comes, another perfect health sales pitch about detox teas…) and realizing you’re dead wrong. I can’t speak for you but that kind of realization effing makes my day. Why? Because realizing I’m dead wrong…

Do You Suffer From This Disorder?

The pursuit of unhappiness, especially your own. Please kindly don’t show up at my house. But wait, there’s more. During some research for another article, I came across a bit of intriguing information about a rather little-known psychiatric disorder that might explain some of what I’m seeing on Medium and elsewhere. The disorder is called Cherophobia, which is when a person has an irrational aversion to being happy.

Goodbye, Redux

Yeah I know. I said this last year. Then I came back like an abused spouse. Here’s where things stand. For those Dear Readers who have stuck it out with me, please hear me out. Last year I opened up a Patreon account on my website. That effort afforded me about fifty followers whose support I treasure, whose input I respect, and whose suggestions are taken very seriously. The website…

When Longtime Friendships Fumble: How to Know Whether to Stay or Cut Loose

The best question to determine whether or not to stay or go The internet is full of floppy-sloppy memes about long-term friendships and how wonderful they are. How they get better with age, all that. True for some. For others, you and I may find ourselves chafing, sometimes badly, with friendships that have continued past their due date. Sometimes we make excuses…

For those who still read me over here on Medium (I know, not many any more) I am still railing about the stupidity of the wellness industrial complex. At nearly seventy I’ve had plenty of time and life to try out a raft of experiments on this poor body over…

How Being Filthy Rich Is Ultimately Meaningless and What to Do About It

The terrible cost of forever chasing money to get us the two things we can’t buy: Love and Time Terrie’s note was hard to read. Always good at setting boundaries, she wrote me in a kind email that she had to set some boundaries around angry people. I thought it was directed solely at me, and I took it personally. It wasn’t about me at all. Not really (it…

Are you ready for the one single thing you can’t stop? Here are some ideas on how to prepare for when you’re down. You and I will go down at some point, either on the way to being old/er, or when you are old. “Old” being relative these days, but that’s another article.
