Back to School: A Lesson for the Rest of Us | Worth (opens the original)
Read excerpt
How curiosity, structure, and a willingness to be a beginner can help us keep learning at any age. Across the country, millions of kids are heading back to school, where they’ll meet new teachers, tackle unfamiliar subjects, learn new skills, reconnect with friends, and—if everything goes according to plan—know more by June than they do today. We watch them repeat this cycle year after year until, diplomas in hand, they step out into the real world. Many assume their days of hitting the books ar

The Friendship Recession Is Real—Here’s How We Reverse It | Worth (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In a time of growing loneliness, the simple act of reaching out can strengthen both lives and communities. When I was a boy in Queens’ South Ozone Park, friendships came naturally. There were 100 of us in the neighborhood, and from breakfast until the streetlights came on, we were outside, playing baseball, kickball, and just about every variation of “ball” you could imagine. We climbed fences during games of hide-and-seek, inventing rules as we went and settling disagreements ourselves. We lear
