Nine life lessons from the happiest man in the world: from embracing tiny changes to not overthinking meditation (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Stressed out, endlessly scrolling and never satisfied? Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche, the Buddhist monk with off-the-charts levels of contentment, may have the answers … By some metrics, Buddhist monk Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche is the happiest man on Earth. In brain scans, researchers noted that Mingyur’s neural activity showed off-the-charts levels of activation in the left prefrontal cortex, an area associated with positive emotions such as happiness, enthusiasm and joy.

Tech companies know everything about me â so why do they try to sell me so much rubbish? | Joel Snape (opens the original)
Read excerpt
No, Amazon, I do not want to buy another version of the thing I just bought, or any other random object I donât recognise or understand We live, as Iâm sure someoneâs chief growth officer has recently boasted on an earnings call, in a golden age for data capture.

Read excerpt
Over the last decade, the understanding of these devastating headaches has grown enormously, as has the understanding of what can be done to treat them Weâve been trying to cure migraines â without much success, until relatively recently â for as long as weâve been able to identify them as a distinct ailment. The Ebers Papyrus, a scroll dating back to 1550BC that mentions a âdisease of one half of the headâ, suggests anointing the scalp with fried catfish; Galen, the second-century R
