7 Habits for Highly Unemployed People

Self-care strategies to help you endure the indignities of job hunting — Back in 2014, I underwent an unexpectedly brutal job search. Over the course of 9 months, I applied for over 150 different jobs. The majority of these were positions I was well qualified — if not over-qualified — for.

Which Super Power Would You Choose?

Your answer might reveal something about your deepest subconscious desires — Part of everyday human experience involves inevitably brushing up against our limitations (real or perceived). But “super powers” — by definition — allow for the glorious possibility of easily transcending those things about which we tend to feel the most powerless.

Four Aspects of a Great Life

Boiling it down to the essentials — While on a silent meditation retreat in October 2019, I spent some (non-sitting) time pondering what a “great life” consists of, if broken down to its most essential qualities.
