Yesterday someone reminded me of a thing I once said...
"I don’t believe in love."
Which might sound terrible. Or ridiculously nihilistic. Sometimes I intellectually have a deer-in-the-headlights moment when confronted with how my opinions and outlook on life have changed over time. We were slightly different people a year ago and we certainly were five or ten years ago. In the last year, I’ve experienced greater depths of and previously unknown dimensions of love, yet I resisted the temptation to just respond:
I was wrong. I now believe in love.
When I said that I didn’t believe in love I was grasping at a more nuanced point which is that “love” is a poor word to describe a very complicated aspect of human psychology and motivation that has both light and dark sides.

Your inbox floods with tempting deals,
From attire to home appliances - each one's a steal.
Each pitch insists, “It’s the best you’ll find!”
But is it worth the clutter in your closet and mind?
I, too, have bargains—no shame to confess,
But these aren’t just gadgets to add to your mess.
They’re investments in health, a sharper brain,
A body renewed, free of stress and strain.
So, shop with wisdom, avoid buyer’s regret,
The best gift is wellness—don’t forget!
Happy hustling this Black Friday spree,
But prioritize you—you’ll thank yourself, see?
Yep, it's that time of the year. Here I'll direct your attention to the sweetest Black Friday deals that have come across my desk. (And, if you're a Biohacker ballin' on a budget and can't afford much or any of this stuff, jump to the bottom of this...)

Gents, I've been working on a science fiction novel that you're really going to enjoy - about seduction, biohacking, social dynamics, and philosophy - with a very provocative working title - Not For Sex Addicts.
Ladies: I joyfully devote myself to loving a woman and I read at least a couple of books every year to better understand women. I’ve done a lot of writing on relationships and sex that is gender-neutral. But this book will be for men. I contend that men need to take more leadership (first of themselves), to right the sexual Absurdistan of modernity. And this novel will inspire them to do so with prose, dialog, and a narrative you may not enjoy reading.

HRV is a topic I've been interested in for a while as a Biohacker. I've completed over 300 HRV training sessions with HeartMath's devices; which has made me a better meditator and generally, a cooler cat. HRV is a particularly pragmatic metric for the Biohacker thanks to the abundance of science done on the topic and the advent of consumer-grade devices you can use to track yours.
The Pulse Cure, by Dr. Torkil Færø, is the most recent (and, in my opinion, approachable and actionable) book on the topic. The book is the result of a study group of 198 Norwegian volunteers that Dr. Torkil (as he refers to himself on his popular Instagram account) led in using HRV wearables. It is punctuated by a number of anecdotes from Dr. Torkil's Garmin watch study group. For example: Melina, 41, adds
Don’t get stressed out thinking that you have to follow all of the scores and data every single day. Go at your own pace! Eventually you won’t need to track all the data. You will learn when it is the right time to check your status. (p. 94)
Tusen takk (Norwegian for “a thousand thank-yous”), Melina!
