Isabel: Sings in the Dark
I asked my mom, “Why do you sing so much?” Her answer came quickly: “Because she likes singing.” She answered in the third person. Leti, our friend and caregiver, and I were surprised.

When Parents Look Down, Children Feel Left Behind: What Smartphone Distraction Is Doing to Family Bonds
A ten-year-old runs into the kitchen holding a drawing she just finished. Her mother is scrolling through a work email, thumb moving in that particular rhythm of half-attention, and she says "uh-huh, that's great, honey" without looking up.

The Brain's Hidden Flexibility: What Psychedelic Research Reveals About Healing and Change

Why Everyone Feels Behind Even When They Are Doing Fine
At some point, many people begin to feel as if they are losing a race they never agreed to enter. They look around and see people their age buying homes, building businesses, traveling the world, getting married, finding their purpose, and somehow becoming the kind of person they imagined they would be years earlier. Meanwhile, they are sitting with a life that might actually be going reasonably well, but there is still this uncomfortable feeling that they should have accomplished more by now.
