Self-Silencing Is Making Women Sick
“Be more disappointing” is not a piece of advice most people would pay money to hear, but in my therapy office, it’s often the most valuable guidance I can give. My clients are mostly women, and nearly all of them struggle with a fear of disappointing others.

No brain, no problem. Jellyfish learn just fine
When it comes to learned behavior, even the simplest minds are capable of advanced thought. The Caribbean box jellyfish (
Tripedalia cystophora
), which doesn’t even have a brain, can alter its behavior based on past experiences, new research reveals. Scientists believe the creature uses this learning ability along with its astoundingly complex visual system to navigate the murky mangrove swamps it calls home.
