    Irene Caselli – Trauma can be inherited. We need to understand what we’re passing on

    When it comes to negative experiences in childhood, the body seems to keep score. But even small changes can positively affect health in later life.

    Nesrine Malik – Our world is built for profit. Let’s build one that protects us instead

    We live in a society where it’s easier to get a Michelin-star meal delivered to our doorstep than it is to get a medical mask that protects our nurses and doctors. And it’s designed that way. But we can change it for the better, just as we can change ourselves.

    OluTimehin Adegbeye – Why social distancing won’t work for us

    Keep a distance from each other. Work from home. Or rely on a social safety net. The measures against the coronavirus pandemic are made by and for those parts of the world that can afford to retreat in individualism. But for millions of people in cities like Lagos, Nigeria, there’s no such thing as socially distancing yourself.

    Tanmoy Goswami – The time has come to take the self out of self-care

    The longest year of the 21st century is about to end; New Year resolutions ahoy. It's that time again when we embrace self-care, and a booming self-care industry serenades us with its baubles. But the seemingly fun, empowering idea of self-care has an ugly underside: it is weaponised against those who are most vulnerable and have the least access to resources.

  6. Maikel Kuijpers – Plastic is a brilliant material. But our relationship with it is trash

    Maikel Kuijpers – Plastic is a brilliant material. But our relationship with it is trash

    It’s in your smartphone, you brush your teeth with it and it’s even in your mattress. Plastic is everywhere – and it’s not going anywhere soon. But as important as the material is, we treat it carelessly because we’ve been taught that it’s worthless. We can start to change that.

  7. Nesrine Malik – Why the world can get worse by constantly saying it’s getting better

    Nesrine Malik – Why the world can get worse by constantly saying it’s getting better

    Progress is a measure of things being different, not necessarily better. And talking about it as an achievement can actually make it more difficult to spur real forward movement. If we want to understand our society’s progress, we need to change the way we speak about it.

  8. Jason Hickel – Outgrowing growth: why quality of life, not GDP, should be our measure of success

    Jason Hickel – Outgrowing growth: why quality of life, not GDP, should be our measure of success

    Mainstream economics still thinks growth is essential, but this blind belief in GDP is just enriching the rich and killing the planet. We don’t need more growth to improve people’s lives. By working less, buying and producing less, and investing in public services, we can improve quality of life – and fight the climate crisis.
