Exercise Physical activity is pretty clearly linked to brain health and cognitive function. People who exercise appear to have greater brain volume, better thinking and memory skills, and even reduced risk of dementia. A recent study in the journal Neurology found that older people who vigorously exercise have cognitive test scores that place them at the equivalent of 10 years younger. It’s not totally clear why this is, but it’s likely due to the increased blood flow to the brain that comes from physical activity....
Now, Epstein has contemplated and compiled all he has learned from using the lens of self-awareness to view the health-care system and the lives of the people in it. Both analytically clear and empathic, he guides us to a vision of a new kind of doctor in a new system: covering everything from how doctors need to pay attention to their mindware (the thought processes they use to make diagnoses and decisions), using meta-cognition (being aware of your own thinking) to healing the healer (how to travel the path from burnout to resistance), to what makes a compassionate and humane health-care system (one where small acts of kindness can make “the unbearable bearable”)....

Hair growth is, unfortunately, just one of those things that’s on a biological schedule for everyone—that is, no amount of prodding, praying or pulling can force it to sprout out of your head faster than nature intended. Hair growth varies slightly between ethnicities, but on average it grows around six inches a year, or ½ inch per month (Disclaimer: That is not a whole lot.). Lately, a lot of people are discovering ways to allegedly “speed up” this process and grow hair faster via supplements and cleanses, but there is really no evidence that supplements improve hair health, rather than simply help maintain healthy growth....

If you’re the kind of person who finds themselves wide awake at 3 a.m. contemplating the shadows on their ceiling, practicing mindfulness may offer the secret to sleeping better. A randomized clinical trial from UCLA found that mindfulness meditation improves sleep quality among older adults with sleep disturbances. The following guided meditation was used in that study to help people fall asleep. May it do the same for you....
Many wise and creative people know about ma. A poet leaves a pause between words to emphasize them. A musician knows that the silences are what make a song or performance great. Athletes watch the space between players, between the ball and the goal. We think of physical space as rooms, not walls. That space is important because it’s where anything can happen. Often, it is the empty space that actually gives things a shape and even makes them beautiful....

My fellow travelers become increasingly restless, wipe wet brows, and shift uneasily in narrow seats, their discomfort leaning threateningly toward desperation. I glimpse it in the eyes of the college-aged backpacker seated across from me, so close his knees nearly touch mine, and in the young mother’s fruitless fanning of her little one. I peer over at my seventeen-year-old daughter and watch nervously as her eyes grow gradually wide, my mind quickly registering her expression—she is teetering on the precipice of a full-blown panic attack....
Let’s all be honest here for a minute… When was the last time you told your spouse you were sorry??? And when was the last time that you know you really should have said sorry but ignored the urge and let it go, which either caused a bigger tiff between you and your spouse, or you both got over it eventually only leaving you more unaware of the issues that may arise in the future....
In the significant losses in my life, the death of my father and my brother, I had no opportunity for anticipatory grief. My father died suddenly of a heart attack one Christmas Eve. My brother died of an asthma attack. At 74 and 52 respectively, both died prematurely by today’s standards of life expectancy. While their deaths were sudden, they were not marked by violence. The recent events in Tucson, the murder of six people and the wounding of 14 others, sent shock waves of grief through that community and beyond....
