For decades, scientists have tried to understand what truly makes life meaningful. Nearly a century of happiness research, from the legendary Harvard Study of Adult Development to countless global surveys, has reached a strikingly simple conclusion: the single strongest predictor of long-term happiness and health is the quality of our relationships. This New York Times Magazine article details how researchers followed people across decades, through career highs, family changes, illness, and aging, only to return to the same essential truth—connection matters more than wealth, fame, or success. What’s remarkable is not just the outcome but the consistency. The Harvard study began with a group of college sophomores in the late 1930s and expanded to include people from diverse walks of life. Over the years, researchers tracked health records, interviewed family members, and analyzed thousands of data points. Time and again, they discovered that people who maintained strong, supportive...

Rev. Marilyn L. Redmond, BA, ABH, IBRT My story might bring a new perspective to others. I was looking for help with anxiety and the prescriptions from my psychiatrist addicted me. I found a new life style that has catapulted me from addiction, depression, even mental illness into to a joyful experience of sanity. My insatiable curiosity brought my researching and seeking answers to how this happened to me. Ongoing hunger for more answers brought me a new perspective about life. I found the dynamics that generate our life. I no longer needed to be a fear-based person bringing all kinds of dilemmas and problems into my life. I could go a different path that brings joy, happiness, with great results and happy feelings. The past darkness is gone and I am able to live in the moment which is a gift and that is why it is called THE PRESENT. My new path has brought a life beyond my wildest imagination. I never saw myself having love in my experiences as growing up it was always abuse, tra...

Your sales pipeline is critical to your sales success Losing a deal stinks.  Period! You put in the work. You had the conversations. You built a smart proposal. And then the renewal does not come back or the contract does not close. That moment can frustrate even the best salespeople. But here is the truth about the sales business. Not every deal closes. And that reality does not define your success. Your pipeline does. When your pipeline is strong, a no is just part of the process. When your pipeline is weak, a no feels personal. That difference matters more than most salespeople realize. Sales Confidence Comes From Volume Sales would be easy if every proposal turned into a signed agreement. It does not work that way. That is why real sales training focuses on structure and consistency, not hope. When you have options, you sell differently. You are calmer. You negotiate better. You stop chasing deals that are not serious. This lesson applies across media sales training...

https://vimeo.com/732175641?fl=tl&fe=ec Construction workers have significantly higher rates of injuries, fatalities, death by suicide, and overdose deaths than American workers overall. For example, although construction workers are only about 7% of the entire workforce, they were 20% of on-the-job fatalities and 16% of opioid overdoses. As the chart to the right shows, in 2023 there were 982 fatal injuries among construction workers — and 15,910 fatal overdoses and 5,095 suicides.

We’re just back from LA, visiting our “West Coast” family, where our grandchildren are 4 and 1. We had a great time and a wonderful Christmas. At one point my son and daughter-in-law left to see friends, and we babysat the kids before we all met at a restaurant for dinner. I’m writing my newest book on esteem right now ( The Courage of Your Talent ) and I’ve learned over the years that expectations influence esteem and esteem influences expectations in a reciprocal arabesque. If your expectations are unrealistic and you consequently don’t achieve them, your esteem can suffer. However, if your esteem is low to begin with, then we tend not to set very high or powerful expectations, and are unfulfilled. Ideally, our worth is independent of our performance. We don’t “gain or lose” worth based on success or failure. Worth is about dignity (Am I worthy?), while performance (efficacy) is about competence (Can I do this?). Ideally, we should have high efficacy with those issues closest to ...

For Immediate Release: Dateline: East Greenwich , RI Sunday, December 28, 2025   I was out on the balcony on a high floor of the Ritz Carlton in Naples early one morning watching one of the machines that cleans the sand chug along. When it reached a place where there was an alley between buildings and a paper bag had been blown in there, the operator stopped the tractor, walked in the alley, and retrieved the bag. There was no one around and he couldn't have known I was way up there at 7am. It's not what we do when people are watching that determines our self-worth, it's what we do when no one is watching.

Preparing home-cooked meals exposes you to hidden dangers in your home. What can you do? Curated Lifestyle @UNSPLASH.COM Economic change brings on lifestyle change, and with less money available to buy prepared foods, millions are now cooking at home. One of the problems with cooking every day is that home cooks don’t realize they could be breathing in harmful air pollution. We usually think about outdoor air quality, but sometimes the air in our kitchens is even more dangerous. Did you ever think that home cooking could be dangerous for you? Not in terms of spills or burns, but the air you breathe? Understanding the Problem People in the UK spend about 90% of their time indoors, but most air pollution rules only focus on outdoor air . This is a serious problem because many things we do at home, especially cooking, create airborne pollutants that can harm our health. The INGENIOUS project at the University of York is studying what happens to indoor air quality when we cook. T...

Recently, I was coaching a woman running for a leadership position in a professional organization. She knew that she would have the opportunity to address the delegates, so we rehearsed her speech together. With each round of practice, however, the speech kept getting longer. And longer. Until I finally stopped her. “Sina,” I said, “you are rambling. Get to the point. Make the point. Repeat the point.” Whoever first articulated that rule deserves lasting credit. It is a valuable guiding principle in modern communication especially in an age where people are busy, distracted, and impatient. And it applies perfectly to politics. I often hear politicians in the political center say to me, “Louis, we’re at a disadvantage. It’s much easier for populists on the left and right to be short and simple.” They are not wrong. It is easier for populists to compress complex realities into slogans. But that does not mean centrists are condemned to long explanations and convoluted messaging. A ce...

Informal Step A Training For the past two years, NALC has been creating a standardized Informal Step A Training program designed for NALC representatives with little to no experience as a shop steward or filing grievances. As a part of this program, NALC is launching a weeklong in-person class with two sessions being held in 2026. The first class will take place March 15-20, and the second will be held Sept. 20-25. The program focuses on teaching participants their rights as stewards and how to properly assert them through the grievance procedure.

These subjects include issues such as time management, the roles a shop steward plays, and how to use the various NALC resources found on the NALC website. The training also gives participants the opportunity to practice investigating a contractual violatio...

“Meetings are a symptom of bad oranization. The fewer meetings, the better.” — Peter Drucker, management legend Engineers want to engineer. They don’t want to be stuck in meetings. Some meetings are necessary. Unfortunately, these are the minority of meetings held. Below are three practical ways engineers can stop meetings from eating up their week—and still look like team players, not rebels. Demand a Purpose and an Outcome Before agreeing to attend a meeting, ask: What decision are we making? What will be different after this meeting? If you can’t answer these questions, don’t attend. We all have 24 hours allotted in a day. If you choose to attend an ill-defined meeting, you are deciding not to perform another task that is probably a much better use of your time. Of course, everyone has a boss. The boss might want you to attend a meeting whose objective is at best fuzzy. Try to convince your boss that it is a much better use of your time to skip the meeting and complete a spe...

Author Charlene Wexler recently won a 2025 International Impact Book Award in the Contemporary Fiction category for her book We Won't Go Back, published by Speaking Volumes.             We Won't Go Back is the story of Babs, who lived a pleasant life in a northern suburb of Chicago, devoting her time to her husband and two teen daughters. But when the Supreme Court issues a landmark ruling, Babs' life changes as she reunites with her late mother's fellow activists from the 1970s to take up the fight for women's rights once again.             Family matters continue to intervene, however: a close relative's death, meeting a previously unknown half-brother, an unplanned pregnancy, and a nostalgic great aunt who wants her 100 th birthday party to be a pilgrimage to the now-downtrodden South Shore community of Chicago.          ...
