Gone Fishin’ With Ben Simmons
IT’S APPROACHING 11 A.M. on a humid day in May. Ben Simmons has been out fishing in the waters southeast of Miami since 6:15, his boat pushing away from the marina with a waning crescent still hung in the sky. The 29-year-old has spent most of the morning up on the bow of his 53-foot Scout, casting and reeling, casting and reeling, waiting, scanning. “Any moment, something can happen,” he says. A few hours in, not much has.
Young Guys Are Popping ED Drugs—But It's Not for the Reason You Think Original
ON THE NIGHT he hoped to lose his virginity, Mark couldn’t get it up. The 25-year-old wasn’t necessarily surprised. He was nervous—really nervous. His partner tried to put him at ease and eventually used her hands to bring him to climax. But when the time came for intercourse, Mark says he couldn’t perform. “To this day, I could not explain why,” he tells me. He didn’t have a lot of experience talking to women. He wasn’t very social in general because he suffered from a lack of confidence.
Are super gyms the future of health care?
LAST JULY, JOHN Foster, a 62-year-old management consultant, walked into Love.Life, a 45,000-square-foot gym housed in a former Best Buy in El Segundo, California. He arrived during the grand opening to find out about the new club’s shiny fleet of membership options, many of which beefed up the traditional gym-going experience. Only, where most luxury gyms’ additional amenities might include saunas or cold plunges, Love.Life was offering health care.
자신을 증명하려는 강박, 효율성 집착에서 벗어나야 하는 이유
우리의 집단적 생산성 집착은 생각보다 훨씬 오래되었다. 더 이상 우리는 부족하지 않은데 늘 부족하다고 느끼며 살고 있다. 인류학자 제임스 수즈먼은 신작 『Work』에서 ‘무조건 더 생산해야 한다’는 사고방식이 어떻게 농경의 시작과 함께 태동했는지 추적한다. 지금 이 글을 읽고 있는 동안에도 읽지 않은 이메일이나 슬랙 메시지가 머릿속을 맴돌며 ‘생산적이지 않다’는 불안감을 느끼고 있다면, 당신도 생산성의 강박에 익숙한 사람일 것이다. 우리 대부분에게 생산적인 상태를 계속 유지해야 한다는 압박은 직장뿐 아니라 사적인 삶에서도 배경음처럼 흐른다. 스마트폰의 등장 이후, 주머니 속에 메일함을 넣고 다니게 되었을 때부터 이런 집착이 시작된 걸까? 아니면 인터넷이 생겨 시공간을 초월해 일할 수 있게 되었을 때부터일까?
What Equinox’s $40k Membership-And Other Longevity Gym Memberships-Are Really Like

두려운 일을 앞두고 침착함을 유지하는 법
복사 공유 30년 넘게 수중 비상사태를 겪으며 살아남은 동굴 다이버 질 하이너스가 전하는 교훈을 나눈다. 공포와 공황 상태에서 바로 벗어날 수 있는 방법. “실패에 대한 두려움과 미지의 공포를 초월할 수 있다면, 우리는 개인적으로도 사회적으로도 위대한 일을 해낼 수 있다.” 질 하이너스는 자신의 자서전 Into the Planet: My Life as a Cave Diver 말미에 이렇게 썼다. “우리는 그 여정이 어디로 향할지 항상 알 수는 없다. 어렵다는 부담감을 느낄 수도 있다. 그러나 모든 길은 결국 발견으로 이어진다.” 이런 통찰들은 그의 30년 넘는 동굴 다이빙 및 수중 사진 경력을 담은 모험 가득한 자서전 곳곳에 깔려 있었다. 그리고 바로 그것이 GQ의 팟캐스트 Airplane Mode에 질 하이너스를 초대하고 싶게 만든 이유였다. 남극 빙하 아래로 다이빙하러 떠나는 사람이야말로 ‘자신감’이라는 시즌 테마를 이야기할 적임자가 아닐까?
전문가가 알려주는, 연결을 끊고 쉴 때 쉬는 방법
재택근무를 끝없는 근무시간으로 만들지 않으려면, 스스로 경계를 설정하는 일이 중요하다. 코로나19로 인한 락다운 속에서 재택근무는 ‘새로운 일상’이 되었다. 출퇴근이 없어졌다면, 가장 시급한 문제 중 하나는 하루 일과가 끝났음을 인지하고 ‘일’과 ‘집’의 경계를 분명히 하는 것이다. 물론 디지털 시대에 ‘연결을 끊는 일’은 결코 단순하지 않다. 모든 커뮤니케이션 채널이 항상 켜져 있는 시대에는 곧 당신 자신도 항상 켜져 있는 셈이다. 따라서 일은 집에서 끝낸다거나, 퇴근은 직장에서만 하는 식의 구분이 힘들어진다. 하지만 사무실에서 일하는 데 익숙했던 사람들은 그래도 일과 삶의 물리적 경계를 가졌던 셈이다. 매일같이 그 무너진 공간 안에 머물러야 한다는 사실만으로도 정신 건강은 이미 위협받고 있으며, 이건 말 그대로 ‘불안 칵테일’이 된다. 그렇기에 ‘꺼지는 것’은 더욱 어렵고, 동시에 그 어느 때보다 절실하다. 그렇다면 어떻게 해야 할까?
전문가 추천, 인생을 통제하고 싶을 때 읽으면 좋은 책 5
관점을 유지하고, 마음챙김을 실천하며, 고립의 시간을 뒤로할 준비를 돕는 케어 패키지 책 10선. 나는 GQ에서 건강과 웰니스 관련 콘텐츠(Level Up 섹션과 Airplane Mode 팟캐스트) 작업을 하며 이런 자기 성찰의 기회를 얻는 행운을 누렸다. 그 과정에서 나는 스스로를 더 잘 들여다볼 수 있도록 도와준 책들을 많이 읽었다. 좋은 습관을 만드는 법에서부터 지루함을 잘 견디는 방법, 환각제의 치유적 힘에 이르기까지 다양한 주제를 담은 책들이었다. 이들 중 상당수는 놀랍지 않게도 ‘고요함’의 중요성을 강조한다. (서점의 자기계발 코너에서 블레즈 파스칼의 이 인용구를 피하는 것은 거의 불가능하다. “인류의 모든 문제는, 인간이 혼자 조용히 방 안에 앉아 있을 수 없다는 데서 비롯된다.”) 하지만 결국 이 책들이 말하고자 하는 핵심은 자율성이다. 소음과 방해로 가득한 세상에서 우리는 어떻게 더 의식적으로 살 수 있을까?
나다운 게 뭔데? 가치관에 맞는 선택하고 나답게 사는 방법
복사 공유 우리 사고 속 깊이 자리 잡은 ‘원래 그래야 하는 것’에서 벗어나 나다운 삶을 선택하자. 얀시 스트리클러Yancey Strickler의 새로운 미국 비전을 이해하려면, 우선 일상 생활을 이끄는 구조들이 완전히 만들어진 것이라는, 당연하면서도 불편한 사실을 받아들여야 한다. “피아노의 생김새, 우리가 아침 식사로 오렌지 주스를 마시는 이유, 지금 당신이 읽고 있는 글자의 모양,” 킥스타터 공동 창립자이자 전 CEO였던 스트리클러는 그의 책 This Could Be Our Future: A Manifesto for a More Generous World의 서문에 이렇게 쓴다. “우리는 이러한 것들이 없는 세상을 상상할 수 없다. 우리는 그것들을 ‘원래 그런 것’으로 생각한다. 그러나 이것들은 전적으로 나나 당신과 같은 누군가가 만들어낸 개념이다.” 그는 이러한 ‘숨겨진 기본값’을 “우리 부족과 국가를 형성하는 관습, 전통, 사회적 규범”이라고 지적한다.
불안하다면 SNS를 이렇게 활용하자, 디지털 미니멀리즘 팁
스크린과 소셜 미디어의 파도 속에서 자신을 지키고 삶을 버텨내는 방법을 칼 뉴포트와의 대화 속에서 찾았다. 기술은 외부 세계와 연결되는 주요 수단이 되고 있다. 우리는 이를 통해 친구, 가족, 동료들과 중요한 연락을 유지하고 있으며, 정보뿐 아니라 즐거움, 오락, 창의성의 통로를 제공받고 있다. 그러나 동시에 기술은 깊은 불안과 산만함의 근원이 될 수도 있다. 친구에게 문자를 보내려다 무심코 인터넷 구멍에 빠지는 것이 그 어느 때보다 쉬워진 것이다. 사실 이것은 네트워크화된 세계의 본질적인 이중성이다. 무한한 정보와 연결성의 가능성은 불안 관련 장애 증가와 집중력 결핍이라는 부작용을 동반해왔다. 최근 몇 년간 뉴포트는 디지털 세계에 대한 주요한 참조점이 되었다. 조지타운 대학에서 컴퓨터 과학을 가르치는 칼 뉴포트는 기술 발전의 속도를 무작정 따라가기보다는, 우리가 사용하는 기술이 문화와 인간 행동에 어떤 영향을 끼치는지를 신중히 고려할 것을 주장하는 드문 목소리다.
차분한 사람이 인생을 평정한다, 속도 늦추는 법
고요한 마음은 더 나은 삶으로 가는 열쇠다. 책 ‘스틸니스’의 저자 라이언 홀리데이가 말하는 그 이유. 번아웃에서 벗어나 명상과 내면의 평온을 추구하는 웰니스 트렌드. 그 중심에 ‘스틸니스’를 쓴 작가 라이언 홀리데이가 있다. “제게 고요함은 삶을 살 가치 있게 만드는 요소입니다.” 홀리데이는 인터뷰 중 이렇게 말했다. “세상의 모든 돈과 권력을 가지고 있다 하더라도, 정신이 산란하고 생각에 휘둘린다면 무슨 의미가 있겠습니까?” 하지만 그가 말하는 고요함은 단순히 가만히 앉아 개인적인 평화를 추구하는 것을 의미하지 않는다. 속도를 늦추는 것이긴 하지만, 그것은 자신감을 찾는 일이기도 하며 더 나은 루틴을 만들고, ‘언제’ 그리고 ‘어떻게’ 거절해야 하는지를 아는 것, 그리고 무엇보다 충분히 자는 것도 포함된다. 그는 안네 프랑크와 알코올중독자 자조모임(AA), 윈스턴 처칠과 미스터 로저스, 그리고 세네카와 타이거 우즈 같은 인물들로부터 교훈을 얻는다. 다음은 속도를 늦추는 데 대한 그의 조언이다.
빈둥거리며 인생 리셋하는 방법
멍때리세요. 지루할수록 똑똑해집니다. 책 ‘심심할수록 똑똑해진다 – 멍때림이 만드는 위대한 변화’의 저자 마누시 조모로디와 지루함의 중요성에 관해 이야기했다. 조모로디는 WNYC의 ‘노트 투 셀프’ 팟캐스트를 운영하고 있다. 그는 청취자 20,000명을 대상으로 스마트폰 관련 실험을 진행했는데, 내용은 다음과 같다. 하루 동안 스마트폰으로 사진을 찍지 않거나 가장 많이 사용하는 앱을 삭제하는 등 간단한 도전 과제를 공유한다. 기기에 시간을 덜 쏟고 빈둥대는 시간을 늘린 것이다. 일주일 후 투표를 통해 기분에 변화가 있는지 확인했다. 조모로디는 흥미로운 피드백을 확인했다. 일반적으로 빈둥거린다는 개념은 부정적이다. 불편하고 쓸모없는 상태로 무시당하기 쉽다. 사실 빈둥거리는 시간은 창의성을 꽃피우고 생산성의 훌륭한 원천이 된다. 신경과학을 통해 살펴보자. 생각은 멈추려 해도 멈춰지지 않는다. 대신 뇌의 ‘절전 모드’가 켜진다. 절전 모드가 설정되면 마음은 온갖 상상력이 풍부한 곳을 떠돌아다닌다.
I Sat in Silence for 240 Hours. My Anxiety Has Never Been the Same Since
IT WAS THE seventh day of silence that nearly broke me. I was sitting in the “cell” I had been assigned to earlier that morning. Think a human-sized cupboard, windowless and about the length of an average guy’s wingspan. Not great if you’re scared of dark, small spaces or—as I was at that moment—your own thoughts. I had been alone with mine for about 148 hours.

At the Center of Everything: Vanderbilt hubs connect campus with communities across the country
by Clay Skipper, BA’12 In March, just as winter was thawing and giving way to warmer weather, a huddle of 20 Vanderbilt freshmen and sophomores were midway into their spring break—not that you’d have been able to tell by looking at them. Instead of donning swim trunks and sandals, they’d traded their backpacks and Vanderbilt hoodies for business attire and headed north to New York City, resumés in hand.
Por qué este experto en filosofía estoica no cree en establecer objetivos
El mes pasado, el autor Ryan Holiday, experto en filosofía estoica, publicó su decimosexto libro en los últimos doce años: Ser justo en un mundo injusto. De la bondad a la grandeza (disponible en España a partir del 17 de octubre).
Pourquoi cet expert en philosophie stoïcienne pense que se fixer des objectifs ne sert à rien
Cette année, l'auteur Ryan Holiday a publié son seizième livre au cours des douze dernières années, intitulé Right Thing, Right Now : Good Values. Bon caractère. Good Deeds. Comme la plupart de ses livres, il traite du stoïcisme, philosophie ancienne dont la bible est Méditations de Marc Aurèle et dont l'idée centrale est que “ce qui compte, ce n'est pas ce qui vous arrive, mais la manière dont vous réagissez à ce qui vous arrive”.
Stefon Diggs on Leaving Buffalo, His Fresh Start in Houston, and Why NBA Tunnel Fits Are Overrated
It’s a July evening in New York and Stefon Diggs, one of the slipperiest wide receivers in the NFL, is going nowhere fast. He has just arrived at The Highlight Room, a lounge above New York’s Bowery. Diggs is here to scout the location for a party he’s hosting tomorrow, after launching his first-ever signature shoe, with Asics. Unfortunately, the elevator he’s boarded isn’t moving, so Diggs is momentarily grounded.
Why This Stoic Philosophy Expert Doesn’t Believe in Setting Goals

Bu, Dr. Becca Levy'nin halk sağlığı ve psikoloji profesörü olduğu ve yaşlanma konusunda ülkenin önde gelen araştırmacılarından biri haline geldiği Yale'de verdiği Sağlık ve Yaşlanma dersinin ilk gününde öğrencilerine yaptırdığı bir egzersiz.
Colton Underwood Shares Infertility Story, Reveals He's Expecting Baby Boy
THE ROOM WAS dimly lit, but that was the point. On an otherwise ordinary L.A. day, the nice lady handed Colton Underwood a small cup and guided him into a room that, in many ways, looked like the place where you might get your annual physical. Except next to the chair covered in paper wrap there was a television—and a couple drawers of porn. Though this wasn’t exactly how he imagined it would go down, becoming a dad was always part of the plan.
總是覺得好忙碌，事情做不完嗎？學會這三步驟，讓你輕輕鬆鬆就「事半功倍」！
在過去十年裡，Cal Newport已經成為現代工作場所的專業顧問。做為Georgetown大學資訊工程學的教授，他的著作探討技術是如何消耗「知識工作者」的認知能力。在《Deep Work》一書中，他詳述了分散注意力的一心多用（Multi-tasking）問題、在《Digital Minimalism》中探討數位設備的盲目使用，也在《A World Without Email》中闡述了永遠清不空的email收件箱問題。 他這次的新書《Slow Productivity》則聚焦於人對完成工作的執著，他認為我們對生產力已經產生錯誤的認知，我們看似做了很多工作，但實際生產力卻減少了。Cal提出了三步驟的解決方案：少做事、以自然的節奏工作和著重工作品質。他相信這不僅能讓我們減少倦怠，也能讓我們完成更多高質量的工作。為了證實這個說法，《GQ》親自打電話給作者本人。 《GQ》：在《Slow Productivity》的開頭，你寫道，「也許知識工作者的問題不在於一般意義上的生產力，而在於近幾十年來對這個詞的錯誤定義。」你能解釋這個錯誤的定義是什麼嗎？ Cal...
Weniger Arbeiten: Ein Experte erklärt, wie man trotzdem mehr schafft - und bessere Ergebnisse abliefert
Ist es möglich, weniger zu arbeiten und die Aufgaben trotzdem richtig zu erledigen? Ein Experte klärt auf. In den letzten zehn Jahren ist Cal Newport so etwas wie ein Sprecher der modernen Arbeitswelt geworden. Der Professor für Informatik an der Georgetown University hat sich in seinen Büchern mit der Art und Weise befasst, wie Technologie eine kognitive Belastung für sogenannte Wissensarbeitende darstelle. Dabei handelt es sich um Arbeitnehmer:innen, die in ihrem Job vor allem denken müssen.
Get to Work: How Immersion Vanderbilt turns students into hands-on experts
By Clay Skipper, BA’12 Before arriving at Vanderbilt for his first year, Logan Glazier achieved an important life milestone: He bought a car. Well, a school bus, to be more precise. It was headed for a scrapyard after making stops at a school, a daycare, a camp and, finally, Facebook Marketplace, where Glazier found it. One $3,400 Venmo charge later—and one long car ride back and forth between his home in Maryland to the bus in New Jersey—and the 30-foot, 10,000-pound vehicle was his.
How to Do More By Doing Less (and Doing It Better)
Over the last decade, Cal Newport has become something of a modern workplace ombudsman. A professor of computer science at Georgetown, his books have addressed the ways in which technology can be a cognitive drain on “knowledge workers,” people whose jobs require them to process information. He tackled distracted multi-tasking in Deep Work, the mindless use of digital devices in Digital Minimalism, and forever trying to dig to the bottom of our inboxes in A World Without Email.

NBA All-Star Dwyane Wade Exhales
Five years into his retirement, the 42-year-old NBA All-Star is focused on his legacy. He tells all in this FRONTPAGE story. On May 13, 2013, Dwyane Wade added yet another clip to his already stellar career highlight reel. Only in this one, he wasn’t wearing his standard NBA uniform but a Gucci suit. In his 10th season, and his ninth straight as an All-Star, Wade was photographed entering the arena for a playoff game between his Miami Heat and the Chicago Bulls.
How the CEO of Celsius Turned a Failing Brand into a Legitimate Red Bull Competitor
It's late afternoon on Halloween day when Celsius CEO John Fieldly picks up the phone in the Boca Raton offices of the popular energy drink brand. “I’m dressed as the ringmaster from the Barnum and Bailey Circus,” he tells me. It’s a fitting costume for the head of a brand whose recent performance has been nothing short of a spectacle. When Fieldly took over as CEO in April of 2018, the company was valued at $280 million.
How to Tell When Social-Media Flirting Is Cheating
THE QUESTION OF what is and is not digital infidelity has haunted monogamous types since cyber pioneers gingerly typed “sex” into ancestral search engines. But it became even more complicated—and even more important for couples to answer—once social media entered our lives, then took over our lives.
Why Experiencing a Little Awe Is a Key to Having a Good Day Original
For “Routine Excellence,” GQ asks creative, successful people about the practices, habits, and routines that get them through their day. Dacher Keltner’s days are awesome—quite literally. As a professor of psychology at UC-Berkeley and the director of the school’s Greater Good Science Center, Keltner’s area of expertise is human emotion (he was a consultant on Pixar’s 2015 Inside Out). More specifically, awe.

DeAndre Hopkins Will Let His Hands Do the Talking Original
GQ Hype: It’s the big story of right now. It’s just past 8:00 AM on a Sunday in August when DeAndre Hopkins glides into a meeting room at the Tennessee Titans’ practice facility.

Coffee is summoned, along with cinnamon and honey.
Voici le meilleur moyen de rester calme et productif, selon un expert
Gordon Hempton est un professionnel de l'écoute qui sait rester calme presque en toutes circonstances. Il écoute les sons que nous ne pouvons de plus en plus entendre. Écologiste acoustique, il a passé sa vie à se rendre dans des zones reculées de la nature et à enregistrer des paysages sonores qui disparaissent à cause de la pollution sonore moderne. Cela dit, Hempton est très occupé.

For “Routine Excellence,” GQ asks creative, successful people about the practices and habits that get them through their day. Five nights a week, at 8 p.m. Eastern, journalist Chris Hayes finds himself in the exact same spot: in his New York studio to record MSNBC’s nightly news show All In with Chris Hayes. “That’s as hard as a routine gets, aside from a play on Broadway,” the 44-year old said recently over the phone.
Chris Hayes Has Nightmares About Being Unprepared to Go On Air Original
What ways do you have of processing that? The show itself. If I didn't get to say my piece on a lot of this stuff, I would be less mentally healthy. Particularly when things feel really wrong or outrageous or upsetting. I have the rare privilege of being able to say that to millions of people. The podcast, when we're able to do longer conversations about topics that are in the news, that's also super helpful.
