Small 'interventions' can lead to big changes, according to Stanford professor Gregory Walton, author of 'Ordinary Magic'. My interview for @greatergoodedu.bsky.social at @ucberkeleyofficial.bsky.social in comments:

Trauma is about what happens inside us. For @nytimeswell I talked to therapists, psychologists & trauma experts about book that are helping people understand trauma, reframe their past, and heal. @oprah-winfrey.bsky.social @prentishemphill.bsky.social @gabormate.bsky.social @laurenauer.bsky.social

Friendships are so critical to our happiness ... yet we often prioritize romantic relationships. For @nytimes.com, I spoke to counselors, educators, & therapists for book recs that can help you build, grow, and repair the platonic relationships in your life. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/24/w...

Tidying up isn't just about organizing -- creating a calm environment can improve your wellbeing. Here are the top 5 books recommended by experts, to help manage the chaos. 📚 @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2025/02/06/w... @konmari.bsky.social @gretchenrubin.bsky.social @billshapiro.bsky.social

Excited for John and Julie Gottman's book "Fight Right" to be picked for Berkeley's @greatergoodedu.bsky.social "Best of 2024" list! My original q&a is linked in there: greatergood.berkeley.edu/article/item...

Highly recommend this!! I talked to @erinkeane.bsky.social about this book back when it came out, if you want to hear more about how it came into being: www.thecut.com/2022/09/unta...

This is the kind of news I love to see! Can't wait to find out how it goes -- but I hope the rest of the world pays attention. Next up ... how about weaning their parents off of it, as well?

Hello BlueSky! ICYMI: I make a few little cameos on @MSNBC_Films “My Generation" -- chatting about college debt & this false idea that we all should aspire to marriage/motherhood @NBCNewsStudios www.nbc.com/my-generatio...

After Vietnam, the US spent $$$ to bring kids to America -- by late '90s, 15,000 were arriving per year, from Vietnam and elsewhere. Many adoptive parents wanted to give these kids "a better life." But what does that mean? My Q&A w/ @ErikaHayasaki @thecut

In 1970, a 13-year old girl from Kansas ran away + two years later married a 36-year old man in NYC. Here's my conversation w/ @Salon EIC's @eekshecried, on her new book about her mom, and how we treat teen girls. For @TheCut:

"We are what we remember," neurologist Richard Restak told me. Here are some of his observations, from decades of practice, of what keeps our memory intact: @nytimes @NYTHealth @nytimeswell

Susan Faludi brilliantly explains Depp/Heard through the lens of "celebrity feminism," warning: "Using celebrity and hashtag feminism is a perilous way to pursue women’s advancement because it falls victim so easily to its own tools and methods."

"I think my work is about [helping patients] develop a certain kind of more raw and immediate relationship with reality," @DrGuralnik, star of #CouplesTherapy on @Showtime tells me. For @TheCut:

We reporters need to be more critical when we write about #AI innovations & skeptical of the claims of those making the tech. My Q&A with @emilymbender at @uw for @seattletimes's @pnw_ai:

.@driverminnie told me that being an actor is "99 percent rejection, and the other one percent is what you see on the screen." For @TheCut:

"My failure to break into the literary world in my 20s was devastating, yet it taught me a vital lesson; it was me that was wrong, but literature itself." Omg I'm dying. #Severance

For @byshondaland, I wrote about why #money matters for women, and why we need to start talking more openly about it. @rebeccawalker @MsFinanceCoach

.@laurakipnis - prof @NorthwesternU - may be best known for her views on Title IX (she's had 2 leveled at her for her writing on the topic). "Love in the Time of Contagion" looks at how the pandemic seeped into our intimate relationships. For @Medium:

.@MargaretAtwood tells me she sometimes forgets meals -- the one thing I will never forget 😂 -- for @TheCut. Here's "how she gets it done":

The author Ann Patchett is the kind of person who invites someone to live with her during Covid, teaches her friend to drive a car and brings reporters home to give them (me) a book. Here's my profile for @BuzzFeedBooks #AnnPatchett @HarperCollins

.@lilykingbooks, author of #writersandlovers & the new #FiveTuesdaysInWinter, says she "only cares about emotion." Find out why, in our conversation for @Medium: @groveatlantic

Got a little tongue-tied talking to the fab @IssaRae for @thecut! Here's how she "gets it done" -- from the morning blow-dry to mining her friends' lives for stories: @insecurehbo

Still have questions about the #metaverse? I talked to @CathyHackl, who explains what it is and why it matters. Here's our convo for @freethinkmedia:

Is anyone here a "space law expert" -- or knows one?

My first for @freethinkmedia: A Q&A with @ShankarVedantam, @HiddenBrain host, on the subject of why not seeing things entirely clearly can have some benefits:

A fascinating thinker on class issues (vs. what he sees as an over-focus on race): Adolph Reed Jr., a Black Marxist. I thoroughly enjoyed his opinion on how the rich are getting richer, problems w. categorization, and more. For @JSTOR_Daily :

Vivian Gornick, NY author and critic, on how sexism "nailed things down" for her, the evolution of the women's movement & more for @byshondaland @VersoBooks

I talked to @brandicarlile for @TheCut about how she toured with a newborn & other inspiring details from daily life, #HowIGetItDone.

.@RobertDPutnam, author with @shaylynromney of "The Upswing," thinks we're near the pivot from an "I" to a "WE" society -- and I SO want to believe him! For @GENmag:

I absolutely love @JeffTweedy's quote about creativity: "Kids don’t spend a lot of time dwelling on which drawings are on the refrigerator. They’re busy coloring the next one." Wish I could get better at channelling my inner child... @dayjenn

I enrolled in @lauriesantos's enlightening (+free!) @Yale class on the Science of Wellbeing last year, and my very first @nytimes piece is a Q&A with her on how to maintain these principles during Covid. Thrilled to do this! @NYTScience

To solve his own puzzle, Ernő Rubik tells me he was "without any background for that -- because I was the first who tried.” Here's my article + video for @undarkmag: #rubiksofficial @netflixfilm #speedcubers

.@MorganJerkins on Blackness: "There are multitudes within American Blackness. And it’s very easy to say Black people are not a monolith, but when you actually submerge yourself into these communities, you must start to unlearn." Our Q&A @JSTOR_Daily:

Life doesn't follow a linear path, and those milestones you thought you'd be hitting? They're no longer part of our modern reality. "Our expectations are still linear, but our lives are not linear & that gap is a huge burden," @BruceFeiler @ForgeMag

This impeachment tests our partisanship -- as the selection of SC justices does. @RuthMarcus says re: the conservative takeover of the SC: "All sorts of things our gov has been doing since the New Deal could be up for grabs" @Longreads @washingtonpost

Our democracy does not represent Americans, says @lessig. And in most of how that happens -- campaign financing, electoral college, voter suppression -- hurts Democrats. For @JSTOR_Daily:

When choosing a hobby that will be fulfilling, stick to your true self, not your "fantasy self" –– advice from @gretchenrubin. And make time for pure fun, which is a worthy goal in itself. My guide for @voxdotcom on how to have, and keep, a #hobby:
