Vishen Lakhiani is a man on a mission. The 47-year-old Malaysian entrepreneur and bestselling author is certain he has found the way for every one of us to live our best life. He’s written multiple popular self-help books, with his latest being The 6 Phase Meditation Method, but he insists that understanding how to meditate is just one small element of a larger education system that he’s designed (along with other wellness experts) to “reimagine the human experience.”As the founder and CEO of Mindvalley.com, a website described as a powerful and effective “life transformation platform,” Lakhiani’s goal is to help…
If you’ve already started looking, you know that mattresses can be really, really expensive. But since your back isn’t going to be impressed by a price tag, there’s no need to spend more than even $400 on a mattress if it isn’t in your budget right now. At $260 for a queen size, this Sleep Innovations mattress is proof of that. Note: Orthopedic spine surgeon Payam Farjoodi, MD, advises that you try out a mattress before you decide to keep it. That may mean testing it out in a store or simply getting one with a good warranty.Details: This cooling…
When it comes to getting into shape, you have a ton of different options. From cardio equipment to weights such as barbells, dumbbells, and kettlebells, it can sometimes be hard to decide what makes the most sense for your specific goals. Furthermore, in my training experience, many clients do not have access to traditional exercise equipment and may also avoid the gym for comfort or logistical reasons.

Our sport doesn’t require much gear, but we runners still manage to accumulate a bunch of clutter. Personally, I’ve struggled to part with dead GPS running watches long gone to Garmin heaven, overflowing dresser drawers of sentimental race tees, and even trainers with 700-plus miles that I “might still wear for just walking around.” Based on conversations with fellow runners, there’s a lot of people like me. I’ve since taken steps to declutter. I cleared out my favorite race tees and had them made into a quilt. I donated my old running shoes. I even turned my most memorable old…

Vivek Murthy, the U.S. Surgeon General, just released an advisory on the dangers to teen mental health that social media poses. CBS reports, “While noting some benefits of the online platforms, the report warns of increasing concern and ‘ample indicators’ that social media can have ‘a profound risk of harm to the mental health and well-being of children and adolescents.’ The 19-page report acknowledges that further research is needed and that online youth well-being is shaped by many complex factors, including screen time, content, and countless strengths and vulnerabilities of individual users.’”AdvertisementThere have been warnings about this crisis for over…

If you’ve picked up a dumbbell or any weight, you’ve probably heard the term “isolation exercise” tossed around. In theory, isolation exercises are meant to target one muscle group—in reality, that’s not normally the case. No single muscle truly works in “isolation” because the human body is a complex system, and our muscles are tied together in more ways than imagined. For instance, it would be difficult to isolate a particular exercise when your back is seized up—because almost every movement becomes uncomfortable and other muscles are incorporated to help compensate for the discomfort. Isolation exercises, however, do hone in…
