If you haven’t been following the biohacking mania, there are 24 viral seconds of Bryan Johnson on TikTok that are a good place to start. As the video begins, he turns longingly to his then-17-year-old son. “I’m feeling a little low,” he says as the two sit side by side, shirtless, arms extended, phlebotomist-style. The teen makes a fist and (with the help of a few sci-fi video tricks) a metallic compartment in his forearm opens, revealing a vial of blood. “I got you, Dad,” he replies, taking it and handing it to his father. The clip, posted in April, is a play on a real-life plasma infusion Johnson, 47, got from his son—one of his many attempts to reverse aging at all costs, which for him, apparently runs $2…

“Parenthood no longer felt like it had to be something that would hinder the unfolding of my life. Travel maybe shouldn’t be any different than “regular” life, but it is. When we aren’t on our normal hamster wheel, we see again. The landscape makes an impression. We move with more spontaneity. We ride the wave of serendipity, hitching a ride with a group of Swedes going to a beer garden or whatever. And sometimes, if we’re lucky, time telescopes and folds back on itself, giving perspective and insight into the turning of the wheel of our own lives. That’s what happened in Paris in 2002. It wasn’t the first time I’d been there (or the last), but it was the most important. My wife had long been pushing to have…

IN PARTNERSHIP WITH “My immediate reaction was a mix of excitement and gratitude. I grew up watching The Oprah Winfrey Show after school and have admired her for decades. And when I first started my candle business, my dream was to become one of Oprah’s Favorite Things. This is validation of the hard work and passion that I’ve poured into creating my brand, and I am excited and motivated to create even more ‘favorite things.’” “This transformed my niche luxury-candle brand into a household name.” “We now reach customers who might not have discovered us otherwise.” “Being chosen for Oprah’s Favorite Things validated our vision of transforming jewelry cleaner from a basic drugstore item into a luxurious, gift-worthy product. This prestigious honor signaled a thrilling shift in how people view…

The following is an excerpt from “The Life You Want” Becoming Unstuck, a guided journal to help anyone who’s feeling truly stuck—whether they’ve been hit with a breakup, a job loss, unprocessed trauma, or just a thousand tiny disappointments. From chapters on “Taking Stock” and “Building Resilence” to this one on “Making Hard Changes,” the journal cherry-picks advice, exercises, writing prompts, and inspiration from experts, spiritual leaders, and thought leaders. They remind us that new ways of seeing things can still show up, and that it is a blessing to be able to keep putting one foot in front of the other, to be in a position to make a climb to a stronger future. This chapter starts with a quiz to help you figure out why you might still…

Whenever I tell people about the Last Trip Home I took to Italy with my 87-year-old mother and my older son last summer, everyone has the same response (“Awwww…”), which makes me feel like a fraud because I know they’re imagining some gauzy scene. And to be fair, I’d tried to plan it that way. I’d been dreaming of a “homecoming” for my mom for some time, once the kids were old enough to feel the weight of their grandmother’s origin story as a child-prodigy soprano. I remember the first time I experienced my mother in her natural habitat, four decades earlier. On a hot day in her hometown of Pesaro, I’d watched her hop on a bike with a gelato in hand, speaking in her native tongue with a…

It took roughly 50 years for Lara* to discover she could have it all. Sure, she had a great family, a fulfilling job as a writer—those things definitely count. But in the past 10 or so years, the 55-year-old has also given herself a head-to-toe transformation via routine Botox and IPL facials, dental veneers, a breast reduction, and Ozempic. “I know they say you have to choose between your face and your waist, but can’t I get a little done on each area?” she jokes. Her husband, also in his 50s, is entirely against these procedures: “He’s like, ‘I thought we were going to get old together.’ And I’m like, ‘I would love to get old with you at the same pace as you. But you didn’t have two kids,…

BOOKS THAT LET YOU ESCAPE The Waters BY BONNIE JO CAMPBELL Hermine “Herself” Zook has spent her life on an island in the Great Massasauga Swamp, known as “The Waters,” brewing potent medicines from the land’s plants as well as raising three girls and, now, a granddaughter, Dorothy, nicknamed Donkey. But when Donkey’s estranged mother returns home, she brings secrets that jeopardize the whole community. Immersive and witchy, a story to savor. The God of the Woods BY LIZ MOORE This atmospheric thriller begins in August 1975, when a girl goes missing from a woodland summer camp in New York State. Barbara Van Laar is the daughter of the wealthy family who own the camp, a family with terrible secrets. Moore’s brilliant characterizations—particularly of the young female investigator and the mother…

The appeal of a paloma is that it’s pretty and celebratory but not overly sweet. This one combines fresh grapefruit juice, lime, tequila, Aperol, and a splash of cinnamony simple syrup. Add sparkling water for fizz, and it’s party-ready. For recipes, turn to page 104. Onion dip is always welcome at a relaxed gathering. It’s even better when you swap the powdered soup mix of yore for your own blend of dried herbs, minced garlic, and—here’s the best update—chopped pickles and brine. Full-fat Greek yogurt makes it extra creamy and rich in protein to boot. Healthy and umami? This beauty is both. A base of finely shredded green cabbage and kale, fresh herbs, and sprouts gets tossed in an easy tahini Caesar dressing, grated Parmesan, and toasted panko breadcrumbs. You…
