This week on The Living Experiment, we’re talking about Attractiveness. What makes us attractive? What do we find attractive in others, and why?
From health and beauty to intelligence, kindness, confidence and self-esteem, we explore the whole-person factors that come into play as we size each other up — and evaluate our own mojo.
We also consider some of the psycho-emotional and scientific underpinnings of those factors.
Finally, we suggest some experiments to help you expand your awareness of what attractiveness means to you.

This week on The Living Experiment, we’re talking about "Idleness" — those all-too-rare moments when we allow ourselves to do nothing in particular, and the surprising magic they can bring to our lives.
From the neurological rewards of daydreaming to the value of more extended sabbaticals, we explore the possibilities of doing less, rather than more, as a means of enriching your life experience, and expanding your gifts to the world around you.
And naturally, we offer some experiments designed to help you experience the counterintuitive rewards of idleness for yourself.

This week on The Living Experiment, we’re talking about "Perfect" — the pressure we feel to achieve that impossible standard, and the strategies we can use to escape perfectionism's often-agonizing grip.
From the tendency we have to compare ourselves to unattainable ideals, to the shame-based frustration that can result when we find ourselves lacking, we share insights from our own perfection-seeking experiences, as well as counsel from recognized experts in the field.
Finally, we offer experiments to help you explore and evolve your own relationship with whatever “perfect” means for you.

This week on The Living Experiment, we’re talking about Sleep — why it's so hugely important, and how you can get more of the healthy sleep your body deserves.
After touching briefly on some science-y fundamentals, we delve into how you can get the kind of high-quality rest your body needs to repair damage, rebalance itself, and thrive.
We share insights about how to overcome important but little-known barriers to a decent night’s rest.
And of course, we offer you experiments to help you start sleeping better — tonight, and for the rest of your life.
