It’s far, far simpler than you think … | New year | The Guardian 2026-01-15T20:48:36+00:00 https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2026/jan/03/secret-being-happy-2026-simpler-than-you-think robertogrecoStay offline by doing things so engaging that it wouldn’t occur to you to drift online in the first place Yet it’s entirely possible that there isn’t anything badly wrong with you, other than the conviction that there’s something badly wrong with you. And even if there is, it’s not clear that organising your life around the grim struggle to fix it is a particularly effective strategy. It turns every day into a grinding internal struggle between different elements of your psychology. Which can become, ironically, a comfortable way to avoid launching into the life you really want to live – making the career switch that would fulfil you, for example, or daring to commit to a relationship. “Claiming that we are problematic,” the psychotherapist and author Bruce Tift points out, “means we don’t have to engage with our lives fully, because we aren’t ‘ready yet’ – there’s something wrong that needs to be fixed first. [So] we have a good excuse not to show up.” For one vivid illustration of the futility of fixing yourself – and the positive benefits of doing what you want instead – consider the ubiquitous problem of spending too much time online. If you’re prone to pointlessly doomscrolling, or numbing out with superficially amusing entertainment, you’ve probably experimented with multiple ways to stop yourself succumbing to temptation, like Odysseus ordering his sailors to bind him to the mast of his ship, to resist the call of the sirens. But app blockers and strict personal rules rarely seem to work very well, or for very long. (The most effective such intervention I discovered this year is Brick, a tiny device that blocks distracting phone apps, so that you physically have to move yourself and your smartphone to wherever you’ve put the device, in order to regain access. It turns out that there’s one thing more powerful than the lure of online time-wasting, which is the inertia of not wanting to get up and go upstairs to find your Brick.) A much more reliable way to stay offline is just to be doing things so engaging that it wouldn’t occur to you to drift online in the first place. On the few magical days in 2025 that I realised I’d forgotten where my phone even was, it was because I’d become so immersed in reading or writing or conversation or nature that the thought of it had left my mind entirely. “If you want to win the war for attention,” as the New York Times columnist David Brooks once put it, “don’t try to say ‘no’ to the trivial distractions you find on the information smorgasbord; try to say ‘yes’ to the subject that arouses a terrifying longing, and let the terrifying longing crowd out everything else.” Or as Katherine Martinko, author of Childhood Unplugged, argues in the context of how parents might encourage their children to spend less time online: “If we want our children to revel in reality, then the most effective way to teach them is to do it ourselves … My advice is to fight [internet dependency] less with fleeting (and unreliable) hacks like time limits, tech‑free zones, digital detoxes, tech fasts, focus mode, and grayscaled screens, and more with an overwhelming love and appreciation for being present, active, and engaged with the real world.”
Make time for art or writing or music, or long-neglected friendships, for community activism, or exhilarating escapes into the wild

Instead of focusing on the food groups you plan on banning yourself from consuming this year, are there healthier styles of cooking about which you might genuinely enjoy learning – so that by the time you might normally be reaching for an inadvisable sort of snack, you’re already too full of nutritious food to want one? Instead of concocting a workout you’ll have to force yourself through three times a week – looking forward the whole time to the moment that it’s “out of the way”, so you can resume enjoying life again – are there forms of movement you naturally enjoy, and might only need to do a bit more often, or more intensely? Be careful, though: this is the point at which it’s tempting to devise all sorts of demanding plans for doing things more enjoyably – walking in the park five times a week! Working on your art project for an hour every day! – which may themselves become oppressive or intimidating, and thus speedily abandoned. You’re trying to spend more time doing things you enjoy – not turning the idea of “doing what you enjoy” into an unwanted extension of your already horrendous to-do list. If you’re the aforementioned kind of person convinced you don’t have the bandwidth to spend more of the coming year doing what you want, I think it’s time you reconsidered. For one thing, as a finite human being in a world of infinite inputs, you’re always going to have too much to do. So it makes no sense to put off enjoyment or aliveness until such time as you’re no longer facing an unmanageable to-do list; you are, I regret to inform you, likely to end your life with a long to-do list of uncompleted tasks. For another thing, much of what we dislike about the feeling of overwhelm isn’t really a simple quantitative matter of having too many things we feel we need to do; more pertinently, it’s the feeling of being at the mercy of the task list, of having no option but to grind through your days in service to it. As a result, adding a project to your list that you actually want to do can have the unexpected effect of reducing the sense of overwhelm by increasing your experience of agency and what psychologists call self-efficacy. You’re freely choosing to incorporate something extra into your day, because you truly want to do it; accordingly, it becomes harder to think of yourself as nothing more than the indentured servant of your to-do list.
It’s not clear what life is really for at all, if it isn’t for doing more of whatever makes you feel most alive
Nor should you be concerned that doing more of what you want might turn you into an unproductive, socially isolated layabout and irresponsible citizen. Notice the extraordinarily low opinion of yourself suggested by such fears: the implication that you’re such a nightmare, personality-wise, that only the fiercest schemes of self‑improvement, applied with unceasing vigilance, can spare you from disaster. (It’s also a self-contradictory worry, since you’d surely be unlikely to have much interest in the topic of changing your habits in the first place if you were really such a basket case.) Isn’t it at least possible that none of this is true – that if you paid careful attention to the question of what you really enjoy, you might find that it included feeling healthy, being well connected with others, and making whatever difference you could to the world at large? At the very least, it might be worth the experiment. In the end, though, there is a consideration even more fundamental than any of these, which is that it’s not clear what life is really for at all, if it isn’t for doing more of whatever makes you feel most alive. It’s notoriously easy to slip into the unconscious assumption that any such aliveness is for later: after you’ve sorted your life out; after the current busy phase has passed; after the headlines have stopped being quite so alarming. But the truth for finite humans is that this, right here, is real life. And that if you’re going to do stuff that matters to you – and feel enjoyment or aliveness in doing it – you’re going to have to do it before you’ve got on top of everything, before you’ve solved your procrastination problem or your intimacy issues, before you feel confident that the future of democracy or the climate has been assured. This part of life isn’t just something you have to get through, to get to the bit that really counts. It is the part that really counts. The celebrated child psychology research known as the “marshmallow experiments” suggests that it’s a great asset to have the kind of self-discipline that enables you to defer the gratification of a single marshmallow in order to receive an additional marshmallow, later on. But life offers no prizes for being so good at deferring gratification that you accumulate a thousand uneaten marshmallows, then drop dead. At some point, you’re going to have to eat a marshmallow. That might mean making time for art or writing or music, or long-neglected friendships, for community activism, or exhilarating escapes into the wild; it might mean a life lived more quietly than your current one, or alternatively one lived in a far more high-profile way. Obviously, nobody else can tell you how to spend more of 2026 doing what you genuinely want. That’s a question that can only be answered through honest introspection, bearing in mind the words attributed to (but probably paraphrased from) the American theologian and civil rights leader Howard Thurman: “Don’t ask yourself what the world needs. Ask yourself what makes you come alive, and go do that. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.”"]]> 2026 happiness stress self-improvement anxiety oliverburkeman pleasure life living simplicity offline society mentalhealth well-being wellbeing health hobbies doomscrolling https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:cd1d9e0f9765/ Woody Guthrie Creates a Doodle-Filled List of 33 New Year’s Resolutions (1943): Beat Fascism, Write a Song a Day, and Keep the Hoping Machine Running | Open Culture 2026-01-02T01:50:24+00:00 https://www.openculture.com/2026/01/woody-guthrie-creates-a-doodle-filled-list-of-33-new-years-resolutions-1943.html robertogreco woodyguthrie newyear self-improvement 1943 2018 2026 life living presence optimism health resistance hope reminders doodles howwewrite lists writing fruit work howwework time reading howweread books love relationships radio clothing drinking alcohol hygiene https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:647fbdc55465/ Victorian diary-writers kicked off our age of self-optimisation | Aeon Essays 2025-11-17T17:48:16+00:00 https://aeon.co/essays/victorian-diary-writers-kicked-off-our-age-of-self-optimisation robertogreco victorians quantifiedself diaries measurement monitoring self-monitoring optimization time bigtech history elenamary technology self self-improvement self-quantification quantification productivity capitalism consumption samuelsmiles industrialization imperialism bureaucracy meetings appointments finance transactions timetables almanacs johnletts johnbeadle puritans salvation religion christianity johnevelyn samuelpepys queenvictoria petergay rebeccasteinitz gossip arguments georgegrossmith weedongrossmith charlespooter williamgladstone anne-mariemillim robertnunns charlesdarwin sharonmarcus princessvictoria text elizabethcollins annelister elizaraine philippelejeune society stfancollini habits trains greenwichmeantime standardization standards wrgreg beatricewebb psychology philosophy sociology hcgmatthew anxiety progress speed darwin https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:1238407a44e8/ The Art of Living - by L.

If you are a passionate subject matter expert who believes that technology—not teachers—is the key to unlocking students’ full learning potential, then this job is for you. There is something so banal, even embarrassing, in the aggressive positivity and predictable cant of these emails. Such exhortations have become ubiquitous on the corporatized university campus, where a diverse cast of players—administrators, student clubs, brand ambassadors, Christian ministries, military recruiters, corporate employers, fitness organizations, test prep companies—coalesce around a shared set of keywords. But when did we all become so empowered, passionate, and self-enterprising? And how did having those qualities get to be so important? Three new books address those questions, each dismantling a core myth of neoliberal discourse. In The Cult of Creativity: A Surprisingly Recent History, Samuel W. Franklin uncovers the contemporary premium placed on “creativity” as a product of postwar US anxiety. Passionate Work: Endurance After the Good Life, by Renyi Hong, critiques the contemporary idea of “passion” for one’s work as an affective tool for managing the disappointments, alienation, and injustices of labor under late capitalism. And in Confidence Culture, Shani Orgad and Rosalind Gill contend that the contemporary discourse of self-empowerment directed at women—both a “culture” and a “cult”—represents a neoliberal strand of feminism that makes the individual responsible for improving her own circumstances rather than addressing systemic and institutional injustices. Together, these books provide historical context for some of neoliberalism’s most persistent idioms: grit, resilience, initiative, innovation, positive mindset, and self-improvement. The books also remind us of the stakes of language in all this. When we continue to rely on such keywords, we obscure the structural reality—and political urgency—of issues like worker precarity and widening economic inequality. Our linguistic repetition reinforces the unquestioned “truth” of the words themselves, and we thus naturalize political problems as personal ones."]]> language highered highereducation education 2023 creativity labor positivity neoliberalism precarity work grit resilience initiative innovation positivemindset mindset self-improvement ianarobitaille samuelfranklin renyihong shaniorgad rosalindgill anxiety capitalism copropratization universities colleges administration management keywords discourse rhetoric passion confidence culture disappointment alienation injustice latecapitalism rossalindgill self-empowerment women gender cults feminism individualism systems systemicinjustice institutions growth growthmindset structures reality politics urgency inequality linguistics truth ubiquity business psychology academia policy collusion industry ideology workplace us coldwar joypaulguilford calvintaylor economics lifestyle labororganizing eugenics aesthetics equity williamshockley davidogilvy belllabs entrepreneurialism progress class classdistinction technology autonomy fulfillment leisure workculture exploitation emotionalfulfillment cynicism uncertainty depri https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:4db7ecbee9dd/ Frank Chimero · The Burnout List 2020-01-30T19:27:13+00:00 https://frankchimero.com/blog/2020/burnout-list/ robertogreco burnout frankchimero health angst futility independence individualism latecapitalism achievement success careers happiness self-improvement abundance productivity work authenticity visibility pressure anxiety stress culture society ethics workethic doing slow performance capitalism neoliberalism responsibility privatization economics psychogeography identity comparison byung-chulhan exhaustion fatique latestagecapitalism https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:2d49475a9fcc/ Barbara Ehrenreich's Radical Critique of Wellness Culture | The New Republic 2018-05-26T19:29:13+00:00 https://newrepublic.com/article/148296/barbara-ehrenreich-radical-crtique-wellness-culture robertogrecoTwo years ago, I sat in a shady backyard around a table of friends, all over sixty, when the conversation turned to the age-appropriate subject of death. Most of those present averred that they were not afraid of death, only of any suffering that might be involved in dying. I did my best to assure them that this could be minimized or eliminated by insisting on a nonmedical death, without the torment of heroic interventions to prolong life by a few hours or days. It’s a final, existential version of the same argument she’s made forever: for members of her generation and class to see themselves with a touch more perspective. Despite Ehrenreich’s efforts, this radical message hasn’t resonated among them as widely as she hoped. She has, meanwhile, worked on building institutions that may foster a different outlook in the years to come. In 2012, she founded the Economic Hardship Reporting Project, an impressive, foundation-backed venture to support journalists reporting on inequality. Ever alert to the threat of social inequality and the responsibility of middle-class radicals, she served until just last year as honorary co-chair of Democratic Socialists of America—that renewed organ of radicalism for the millennial precariat. She is not giving up. “It’s one thing,” she writes, “to die into a dead world and, metaphorically speaking, leave one’s bones to bleach on a desert lit only by a dying star. It is another thing to die into the actual world, which seethes with life, with agency other than our own, and at the very least, with endless possibility.” It takes a special kind of courage to maintain such humility and optimism across a whole lifetime of losing an argument and documenting the consequences. Barbara Ehrenreich doesn’t meditate. She doesn’t believe in the integral self, coherent consciousness, or the mastery of spirit over matter. She thinks everything is dissolving and reforming, all the time. But she’s not in flux—quite the opposite. She’s never changed her mind, lost her way, or, as far as I can tell, even gotten worn out. There’s the tacit lesson of Natural Causes, conveyed by the author’s biography as much as the book’s content: To sustain political commitment and to manifest social solidarity—fundamentally humble and collective ways of being in the world—is the best self-care."]]> barbaraehrenreich mindfulness wellness culture health boomers babyboomers 2018 gabrielwinant politics self-care death generations perspective socialism inequality dsa radicalism millennials medicine balance body bodies lifeexpectancy exercise self-improvement westernmedicine feminism geny generationy https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:a06b25a1c893/ Letter of Recommendation: Ghosting -
