• How to Be a Better Man: Tips to Look and Feel Better in 2024

    i read the paper version of this and dug up the link. not that esquire is necessarily a repository of solid advice on “being a man”, but there were a couple of things in here that serve as solid reminders.

    • the importance of listening

    • the mental clarity afforded by walking and taking a beat

    • hanging out with friends … in person.

    • sending letters. i’m going to amend that to, keeping in touch, aside from social media.

    • i’m coming around on the birds thing. we’ve been really paying attention to the visitors to our bird feeders this summer and it’s been a lot fun.
