The four minutes when children actually talk (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The evening was over. Teeth done, light off, your hand already on the door handle, and from the dark behind you comes: mum, can I tell you somethingAnd it is never small. It is the friend who said the thing, the test he did badly in and hid, the message somebody sent, the thought he has been carrying since TuesdayYou sit down on the edge of the bed in the dark, in the one part of the day you had left for yourself, and you listen, because of course you doI want to talk about why it happens exactl
"He gives me everything and never asks me anything" (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Another letter, and a harder one, because on paper this marriage is working:“I am not burned out. I feel inspired, I have energy, I like my life. I do what the method says: I talk to him properly, I give him recognition. He walks around happy. He buys me whatever I want, he helps with our child. And I get nothing back from him as a person.

A Psychologist Sat People Down With a Phone Book and Asked Them to Start Copying (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The room was nothing special. A psychology lab in the north of England, a table, a chair, a stack of paper and a telephone directory. Each person who walked in got an instruction almost rude in its simplicity: copy out numbers from the directory, by hand, for fifteen minutesNo phone. No conversation. No explanation of the pointThe researcher was Sandi Mann, and she was not studying handwriting. She was studying boredom, and to study it she first had to manufacture it, on purpose, under controlle
