The assumption that some coping strategies are simply better than others has a name in the research literature: the fallacy of uniform efficacy. In one study of 170 adults, skill at reframing a problem tracked with more depressive symptoms when the problem was fixable. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Reframing a bad situation in a more positive light is among the most widely repeated pieces of psychological advice in circulation. A study published in Psychological Science in 2013 found that skill at doing it was associated with fewer depressive symptoms in some people and more depressive symptoms in others. The thing that divided them was not how good they were at it. It was whether the situation causing them trouble was one they could act on. The study, by Allison Troy, Amanda Shallcross an
An analysis of 23,424 investment funds holding $25 trillion found 1.5 percent aligned with limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius, and none aligned once emissions from suppliers and products were counted: I have not stopped believing in people, only in an economy built on growth (opens the original)

I have been reading Sarah Wilson’s I Eat the Stars: How to Live Fully and Beautifully in a Collapsing World, and listening to her talk about it, and I find the argument persuasive. Her claim is that we are living through the kind of systemic collapse that every complex civilization before us has undergone, and that the useful response is neither panic nor denial but a clear look at what is actually ending. What is ending, in my reading, is not humanity. It is a particular arrangement, an economy
“Don’t get so busy making a living that you forget to make a life”: what Dolly Parton’s extraordinary second act can teach us about purpose, curiosity and growing older (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Dolly Parton was 77 when she released her first rock album. Rockstar contained 30 songs and featured Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Elton John, Stevie Nicks, Sting, Debbie Harry and Joan Jett. It was not a nostalgic footnote to a country music career that had begun six decades earlier. It became the biggest album debut of her career and reached number one on six Billboard charts. Parton died in Nashville on August 25, 2026, at the age of 80. By then, she had been a singer, songwriter, actor, autho
If you retire at 65 and live to 90, you may have around 1,300 ordinary Tuesdays ahead of you — yet most retirement plans focus on money and holidays rather than how those days will actually feel (opens the original)

A few months into my own retirement, I began to understand something I had not expected. I had spent years thinking about retirement as freedom. Freedom from deadlines, meetings, early alarms and the constant sense that somebody needed something from me. I imagined how wonderful it would be to wake up and have an entire day that belonged to me. Then one morning, I found myself sitting with a cup of coffee wondering what I was going to do with the day. There was nothing particularly wrong. I wasn
The Great Simplification predicts globalization receding into local production, and world trade did fall from 62.1 percent of global output in 2022 to 56.7 percent in 2024, but the Federal Reserve finds US firms moved to Mexico and India rather than home (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The argument runs like this. Modern economies are not really run by governments or markets but by an energy-hungry system that behaves like a single organism, one that grew on a one-time inheritance of fossil fuel and cannot keep growing once that inheritance thins out. What follows is not a crash but a simplification: less energy per person, shorter and more local supply chains, smaller and less complicated ways of living. That is the core of The Great Simplification, the framework popularized
