Psychedelic Science 2023 – Full Conference Review
In June I attended the Psychedelic Science 2023 conference at the Colorado Convention Center in Denver. We were told this was the largest psychedelic-related gathering in the history of the planet, attracting about 12,000 attendees and 500 speakers. In this post I’ll share about my experiences and insights from the conference. Here’s a pic from inside the Bellco Theater where the main keynotes were held. The Colorado Convention Center is sizable, and sessions were spread across many different rooms. Even though I didn’t do extra exercise on this trip, I was typically hitting about 1000 calories ...

Moroccan Baked Beans àla Mourad
In my continued quest to cook as much as possible from my pantry, I honed in on two cans of Great Northern Beans, originally bought to stock our summer cottage larder, but never used. I suspect that they were several years old, and had made the trip up and back from NYC to Pennsylvania at least twice, if not more. (We empty the larder at the cottage when we shut things down for the season.) Canned beans have a shelf life of 2-5 years, so I knew I was on safe ground using them, and I was determined they were not going to be traveling anymore, unless it was to my kitchen table. Also calling to me was a jar of homemade toaste...

Philly Block Party Lemon Bars
We’ve owned our house in the Fairmount section of Philly for almost three years now, in anticipation of the day when we are ready to trade money for time, give up the daily grind that is the price for life in New York City, and move back home. Well, I’m here to tell you that day has come. A little sooner than anticipated. You see, our landlord has decided to sell our Upper West Side apartment, and is not renewing our lease. Though I adore the apartment (small, but airy and sunny and the nicest kitchen I’ve ever had), we’re not going to try to buy it. Now is not the time to sink any part ...

3 Tips to Start the  Process of Writing a Book
“I have a book within me just waiting to be born.” “I keep notes of these phrases that come to me.” “I’ve tried over and over and haven't been able to write it.” As a book-writing coach, I hear these types of comments a lot. There are so many talented, smart individuals who have a book living inside them, but for myriad reasons — time management, writer's block, fear of failure — they have trouble getting it onto the page. The process of writing a book is complex, time-intensive, and filled with obstacles, some mental and some physical. Every journey starts differently, yet the path ...

Giving Your Partner the Right Kind of Support in Troubled Times
Why backing off (for a bit) may be better for your relationship. Attention, married women: If your husband seems angst-ridden or huffy, you might want to hold off on the advice in favor of a simple hug. And guys, despite how it may bruise your ego, you’ve got to continue being attentive even when your wife cruelly shoots down your attempts at making her feel better. According to a series of 2010 studies published by the University of Iowa, an excess of incorrectly-expressed support is worse for your marriage than neglect — shocking, right? A related study showed that husbands were more satisfied when they received...

Five Rules of Confrontation to Ease that Lockdown Stress
The world is going through a stressful time. Most people are stuck at home, spending more time than ever with family, partners, or roommates, as the case may be. Social distancing guidelines and video calls have changed the way we interact with each other. While social media is full of fun, quirky images of people baking banana bread, doing home workouts, and on family Zoom calls, giving the impression that largely humanity is making lemonade from the lemons life dealt them, in reality all this endless time together at home with others during a time of uncertainty and the fear of the unknown can be more than a little st...

Reframe the Shame: Accusing Others of ‘ Quarantine Bragging ’ Downplays Resilience
A new label has surfaced in the past few weeks of the COVID-19 pandemic: “quarantine bragging”. When people display their pride in accomplishments or hobbies on social media while sheltering in place, some of us are tempted to label these posts or images as the social media equivalent of “bragging” and, by default, the individual as a braggart. The label implies that the individual is disingenuous and motivated by harmful perfectionism. However, the most unhealthy aspect of the “quarantine bragging” label may be the heavy-handed judgment behind it. Labeling others as “quarantine bragging” is a vehicle for p...

When life hands you lemons . . .
and then crab apples, and you don ' t have any sugar, you ain ' t making lemonade. My power went out at 1:30 yesterday and didn ' t come back on until 2:30 today. Being unable to charge my devices, I deprived you all of the blog posts you so desperately wanted. I had two very important phone meetings and some other business so I hoarded my batteries. Didn ' t really have anything to eat to speak of the whole time and had to spend my evening reading by flashlight.Oh, boo hoo, poor man. I ' m not sick, nobody I know has gotten sick from this, and Windham County has so far largely been spared. The power outages are indeed bec...
