If there is one thing that most of us can agree on, it’s a general disdain for small talk. And lest we forget (we definitely haven’t), we’re almost 2 years into a pandemic, which has amplified social anxiety for many people. Given that socializing is a skill, this makes sense.
That said, there is hope you won’t feel like you’re reliving your awkward adolescence forever. It just takes a little homework and, frankly, a willingness to tolerate some level of discomfort (and practice!). And since research shows people appreciate deeper conversations over shallow topics, a good icebreaker is one way to get there.
Whether you’re headed to the wedding of a high school friend, a first date, or an awkward work holiday party, these 38 questi…

“It’s not stress that kills us, it’s our reaction to it.” ~Hans Selye
I was driving home from work, minding my own business, when a car cut in front of me.
Pretty common in Sydney traffic, right? Normally, I would just brush it off.
But not today. For some reason I couldn’t explain, that simple event set me off. I got so irritated that I pressed both my hands on the horn and started shouting at the other driver—who just gave me the finger and continued on his merry way.
That’s when I lost it. How dare he do something like this?
I was determined to get even. To teach him a lesson.
I was so immersed in rage that I almost caused an accident just to prove a point.

If you’re like most people, you’re probably starting to consider the goals and dreams you’d like to pursue in the New Year.
Maybe you’re visualizing the person you want to be, reflecting on what you hope to accomplish, and strategizing about everything you need to do (and stop doing) to finally feel happy with your life.
Most of us spend our lives chasing happiness, checking accomplishments and milestones off a life to-do list, as if each pen stroke brings us one step closer to bliss. Except that’s not how it works.
And that’s why most of us never find that elusive happiness we’re all seeki…

In cool weather, there’s basically only one thing we want: soup. And somehow, it always tastes extra delicious when it’s quick and easy to prepare! This vegan white bean soup comes together in 1 pot and is all the things you want in a soup: wholesome, a little creamy, a little brothy, full of nourishing veggies, and perfect for chilly days.
It’s a filling plant-based and gluten-free entrée on its own but would also be lovely served with a sandwich or salad.

Sirtuins are connected to the upregulation of cellular stress response mechanisms triggered by, for example, calorie restriction. Given the failure of past attempts to intervene in aging at the point of sirtuin 1, it may be that the influence of sirtuins on the pace of aging simply isn’t large enough to be useful. That said, work on other sirtuins, such as sirtuin 6 and to a lesser degree sirtuin 3, have produced somewhat better results in mice. Still, stress response upregu…
