“The Lost Sons of Omaha: Two Young Men in an American Tragedy,” by Joe Sexton (Scribner)At the intersection of racial tension, economic disparity, social media misinformation and guns, two sons of Omaha died in a made-in-America tragedy in 2020.

CNBC: lo que las personas más sanas y felices nunca hacen, según una doctora de 102 años

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:10:44 GMT

Este año cumplí 102 años y mis décadas de experiencia en medicina holística me han enseñado mucho sobre cómo vivir una vida larga, feliz y con propósito.Demasiadas personas se alimentan de estrés innecesario. Pero las personas más felices y saludables que conozco son capaces de dejar de lado cosas o experiencias que ya no les sirven. La vida es demasiado corta para reflexionar y considerar el mismo pensamiento una y otra vez. Al hacerlo, básicamente te estás torturando a ti mismo.Entonces, el hábito que me ha traído salud y felicidad a lo largo de mis años es la capacidad de construir cosas nuevas, ya sea una relación, una carrera o un proyecto.DEJA IR LAS COSAS QUE AGOTAN TU ENERGÍA MENTALMi mamá me enseñó una manera fácil de liberar cosas que no importan. Levantaba la mano suavemente frente a nosotros, con los dedos sueltos y la palma hacia arriba. Luego bájelo hacia abajo y hacia atrás y diga: “No importa”.Este movimiento natural le permitió vivir inmensos desafíos si...
