These are the final steps in my seven-step process for healing abusive behavior. Step 6: Learn how to give a meaningful apology and experience empathy In the previous step (#5), you were asked to acknowledge to your partner (or older child) that your behavior has sometimes been abusive. The next step is for you to apologize for that behavior. Apologizing to your partner (or older child) for your abusive behavior or attitude will not only be healing for them, but for you as well. We are not talking about just any apology; we are talking about what I call a…

No Choice is a horror movie that isn’t afraid to tackle a VERY contentious issue in U.S. society.No Choice is a movie with an obvious sociopolitical message — and some horror fans may not be receptiveWhether you like No Choice or not probably hinges on your personal politics. It’s a movie that doesn’t hide its own opinion on one of the most controversial topics in United States society — but even if you agree with the filmmakers’ stance, you may not necessarily like how No Choice goes about addressing it.There’s no point in being vague. No Choice is a horror…

When adult children move out of the family home, resulting in what is familiarly called the “empty nest,” the psychological lore claims that parents, especially mothers, are devastated. However, like many terms in the psychology of adult development that stick around for decades (dare I say “midlife crisis”?), this one fails to receive support from research. True, there was one study back in the 2000s documenting “empty nest syndrome” (Mitchell & Lovegreen, 2009), but this fate only fell on a small and specific minority of parents. The Roots of the Empty Nest Why, then, did the term “empty nest” grow…

Netflix dropped the first teaser for Below today, and the creature is the least interesting thing in it. What sticks is the town. Josh Hartnett plays a Newfoundland fisherman whose community looks like it was already losing before anything crawled out of the water, which is a much better setup than another big shape with teeth. Below is a six-part limited series arriving October 8. Jesse McKeown created it and serves as showrunner, coming off writing work on The Umbrella Academy and 19-2. Hartnett plays Calvin Penney, a stubborn and warm-hearted bayman from the small Newfoundland community of Snooks Arm,…

By Aakanksha Singh, MD, and Narpinder K. Malhi, MD, members of the Committee on Family at the Group for the Advancement of Psychiatry When a young adult struggles with inattention, difficulty managing tasks, and trouble completing responsibilities, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is often one of the first diagnoses that comes to mind. However, what happens when these same challenges appear in an older adult, someone who is forgetful, disorganized, and has difficulty recalling names? Should it be thought of as ADHD, or should it be assumed it is simply a part of aging? Eleanor, a 72-year-old retired teacher, had always been…

ALISON BEARD: I’m Alison Beard. ADI IGNATIUS: And I’m Adi Ignatius, and this is the HBR IdeaCast. ALISON BEARD: Adi, today’s show is about China and Chinese company competitiveness, which I know is a topic of perpetual interest to you. ADI IGNATIUS: It is. I lived in China for many years. I followed its economic development closely. There’s so much happening in China, and I think it’s fair to say the West does not understand most of what’s happening. ALISON BEARD: Yes, and that’s why I wanted to talk to Stanford research fellow Dan Wang. He spent years living in…

You’ve felt it: the headline that lands like a punch, the statistic that confirms exactly what you suspected, the video that seems too outrageous not to share. Before you’ve consciously decided anything, your brain has already voted. That vote is the problem. In an information environment shaped by algorithmic curation, emotionally optimized headlines, and AI-generated media that is increasingly indistinguishable from the real thing, the deepest threat isn’t misinformation itself. It’s cognitive autopilot—our tendency to accept whatever feels fluent, familiar, and emotionally resonant. The good news: Just as the body builds immunity through repeated, low-dose exposure, the mind can build…

I went into Mockbuster expecting to laugh at a studio. I came out having to sit with the fact that I have spent years making jokes about films without once thinking about the person who had fifteen minutes to shoot a seven-page scene. That is the trick of Anthony Frith’s documentary, and it works because it never lectures. Frith, an Australian filmmaker whose career had stalled somewhere short of the dream, asks The Asylum if he can direct something for them. They say yes. The assignment is a lost-world dinosaur picture called The Land That Time Forgot, to be shot…
