Essay: How to get more Good Energy
This week:
This week I wrote about a groundbreaking and essential new study that — thank christ — is not actually about which seemingly reasonable dietary supplement will definitely extend/tragically cut short your life.
It’s about 🍿 film, and after you’re done reading, I’d love it if you replied to this email with some favorite movies that moved the needle for you in some way. We’ll share the list with everyone soon.
Here's What You Can Do:
- Donate to Eco-Anxious Stories to help create stories about meaning, mental health, and climate change.
