Being kind boosts mental health more than seeking joy.
Evidence: Doing 3 random acts of kindness a week is enough to reduce depression, anxiety & loneliness. It's more beneficial than doing nice things for yourself.
Self-care feels good, but generosity builds lasting bonds.

The love of reading is an endangered species.
Just 16% of Americans do regular leisure reading—down from 28% in 2003. Only 41% of UK parents read daily to their toddlers—down from 64% in 2012.
Books aren't merely a source of flow. They're a gateway to empathy and lifelong learning.

If leaders are serious about ending war, women need a seat at the table.
Global data, 1989-2011: When women are involved in agreements, peace is 35% more likely to last 15+ years.
Men alone shouldn’t decide the fate of nations. Gender balance is especially vital with high stakes and hot tempers.
