One of my talking points when hanging out with my fellow diplomatic historians is the painful absence of scholarship on Hawaii. Too many political histories treat Hawaii’s statehood as a kind of historical inevitability, an event that was bound to pass the moment the kingdom was annexed. As I would frequently pontificate, “nobody has unpacked the i…

I used to believe when it came to exercise, more was always more.

Also, as I cruised toward 50, I felt like I needed to work harder just to maintain a certain level of performance. But this summer, I got tired…

We're all programmed to disregard our mental health by a capitalist society that …

Before I was a life coach, I was an endurance sports coach (think running and mountaineering). And I'll tell you one thing: almost all my clients were overtraining. They believed that more was better. And if they slowed down even a little, they'd crumble. And that the answer to getting older was to train harder. Almost none of them were getting eno…

Is there such a thing as a life coaching cult? Yes, but they're exceedingly rare. Notable examples: Lighthouse (see the BBC podcast series "A Very British Cult" and arguably Scientology).

"All I do is give ... and no one cares." "I'm drowning under the weight of my obligations." "I'm surrounded by takers who drain me."

When we believe a thought like "I'm not enough," we will see evidence of our not-enoughness EVERYWHERE. And that's NOT because it's true.

What if you could make this confirmation bias work in your favor? W…

The Pacific Ocean is twice the size of the Atlantic, and while humans have been traversing its current-driven maritime highways for thousands of years, its sheer scale proved an obstacle to early European imperial powers.

On Inner Journey with Greg Friedman, Greg speaks about the falacy of war. Once upon a time in this world we were taught that it was appropriate to kill and maim various people from countries all over the world. It is because we were fed lies.
