This Helps Fight Serious Illness
It's been three years, according to doctors, since I developed cancer. By the time I learned I had a problem, I was already dying. Joke's on them! I'm still alive and kicking, most days. How would that be possible, considering I'm supposed to be gone, or at least cripled by now?

Age 60 vs Age 40 - What's The Difference?
I’ve been asked this question so many times, especially by people who dread ageing, and worry constantly about it. My answer tends to be that there are key differences between the two stages, but not the fearful ones that they might imagine.

Turns Out Your Grocery List Might Be Missing a Few Longevity Foods — Here's What Researchers Keep Finding. AI-Generated.
Key takeaways You don’t need exotic “longevity” foods; everyday staples like berries, beans, greens, and coffee are surprisingly well-supported by research. Patterns matter more than perfection: consistently eating more whole, minimally processed foods is where the biggest impact comes from. Small swaps—like fatty fish instead of red meat, or dark chocolate instead of sugary snacks—can add up over time.

The Buffering Mind: Why Learning About Change Often Replaces Changing
You've probably met someone who can explain Stoicism brilliantly yet loses their temper the moment traffic backs up. Or someone who reads extensively about mindfulness while remaining chronically distracted, checking their phone mid-sentence in the middle of a conversation about presence. It's a familiar kind of contradiction, and it's easy to write off as hypocrisy. But it's worth asking a more interesting question: what if the fluency and the failure aren't actually in tension? What if, for the brain, explaining a value and living it are simply two different jobs — and one of them is much cheaper to do than the other?

Drink Water Or Die
Dehydration is a huge factor but it does not have to be. Something as simple as drinking water can prevent so many problems and but everyone will not do it. I have watched men working in the sun until they were tanned and sweating and never see them take a drink of any liquid.

The Neuroscience of Deep Focus: What Happens in the Brain During Long, Self-Directed Work
When someone spends months building something largely on their own — a business, a body of research, a creative project — the outside world tends to focus on the visible results: the launch, the client list, the finished manuscript. Less visible is what's happening inside the skull during all those hours of repetitive, high-focus effort. Neuroscience has spent the last two decades mapping some of that territory, and while the picture is far from complete, a few well-established mechanisms help explain why sustained, focused work feels — and functions — differently than scattered effort.

Reflections on life in a democracy
Reflections of life in a democracy 80 years of change- for better or for worse? I was born in 1942 with very loving and supportive parents who were ”dirt poor” and never owned a car or a home, but they lived good honest lives. I have lived through many governments, some good, some bad. I have noticed changes in the way politicians conduct themselves, regardless of party. They used to be people convinced of their cause, their plans to improve lives and defend the people of Britain. Now, very few politicians have that conviction and that devotion to the nation we call Britain, and those who have this conviction do not get made leaders of their party. Why? We now have professional politicians, many have very limited actual hands-on experience of how the majority live, even those claiming to represent socialism have never spent 20 years living in rented homes struggling day to day to balance income and expenditure. Many left-wing political activists claim the masses want to overthrow the monarchy, take all the money from the rich, break down social barriers, while the truth is the poor just want to stop being poor, they do not want to destroy what others have, they want to move up with them.

A Condensed Version to a Belief in God
In 1953, our Native American people were given the ability to purchase and drink liquor, after it being illegal for many years. I was born in 1954, so I saw many family members drinking alcohol. Many of them would be drunk, as that is how they drank.
