Most of the productivity conversation is about effort. Apply more of it. Apply it more consistently. Apply it more efficiently. What almost no one asks—and what makes Mark Manson a genuinely useful counterweight to most of what’s in this space—is whether the effort is pointed at anything worth the pointing. Effort, it turns out, is not inherently good. And the self-improvement trap isn’t just about working too hard — it’s about working hard in the wrong direction without ever stopping to question whether the direction was worth choosing. That sounds wrong at first. We’ve built an enormous cultural infrastructure around…

If you’re looking to test your leg strength, lunges reign supreme. If you’re a fan of performing lunges in your workout routine, you know they can be quite challenging.

Well, we’re calling all lunge fans for a strength test. According to Joshua King, Personal Training Leader at…

Kenyan runner Sabastian Sawe made the most of his London Marathon run at the weekend, becoming the first person ever to officially complete a 26.2-mile (42.195km) race in less than 2 hours. While fellow Kenyan, Eliud Kipchoge had earned a time of 1:59: 40 at the INEOS 1:59 Challenge in Vienna back in 2019, his lofty feat couldn’t be ratified as a world record because rules around pacing and fluids had not been followed. Kipchoge had received drinks from an unofficial source during his efforts, making him ineligible for the official bragging rights. As Sabastian Sawe raced the London Marathon,…

For a long time, I thought I was doing everything right in dating. After getting out of an eight-year relationship—and then a rebound that emotionally wrecked me in ways I didn’t fully process for at least a couple years—I spent the next few years in a strange in-between.In theory, I was putting myself out there: going on dates, meeting people, and staying open even when it felt exhausting. But in reality, it felt more like going through the motions, like I was playing a role I had gotten really good at. I had just enough distance to feel in control,…

Yoga isn’t enough for real balance after 55. These 5 daily moves are. Balance after 55 doesn’t fade randomly, it declines when the body stops practicing control under real-world conditions. Traditional yoga improves flexibility and awareness, but many people still struggle with stability during everyday movement. I’ve coached clients in this age group for years, and the fastest improvements in balance always come from simple, controlled exercises that force the body to stabilize while standing, shifting, and reacting. Balance isn’t just about standing still, it’s about controlling your body as it moves. That means your legs, core, and even your…
