3 Ideas For Better Habits
The Secret to Staying Young
Physician and longevity expert, Peter Attia MD, on the mindset that keeps us young.
"I think people get old when they stop thinking about the future,” Ric told me. “If you want to find someone’s true age, listen to them. If they talk about the past and they talk about all the things that happened that they did, they’ve gotten old. If they think about their dreams, their aspirations, what they’re still looking forward to—they’re young."
Author and productivity expert, Cal Newport, on the importance of seasonality in work.
"To work without change or rest all year would have seemed unusual to most of our ancestors. Seasonality was deeply integrated into the human experience."
