Grief That Begins Before Death Anticipatory grief is not a lesser form of grief. It is grief occurring in real time, in response to real losses — losses of function, personality, memory, relational reciprocity, and shared future — that accumulate across the trajectory of a progressive illness. For caregivers of individuals with Alzheimer’s disease, this […]
Today is Earth Day. That matters more this year, not because the calendar says so, but because the evidence keeps mounting around us. The World Meteorological Organization says 2015 through 2025 were the hottest 11 years ever recorded. It says 2025 was the second or third hottest year on record, at about 1.43°C above the […]
I’ll admit it: my guilty pleasure this month has been watching Jury Duty Presents: Company Retreat on Prime Video. There’s something captivating about seeing a perfectly orchestrated workplace drama unfold — especially when only one person doesn’t know it’s happening. But somewhere between the team-building exercises and the boardroom maneuvering, I found myself pausing the […]

I recently fed the draft of our new book into Google’s NotebookLM and let their AI generate a podcast conversation about the manuscript. The result was worth sharing with you early. The book isn’t out yet, but the draft is done as of this week. This is an exclusive first look for paid subscribers at […]
Mixed feelings abound surrounding Artificial Intelligence (AI). I am a fan and use it daily to search. I rarely seek an opinion but rather pose questions that I could likely answer myself if I had the time and access to more databases. This is the […]
