Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

  • I want to start training my aerobic fitness but I have no idea where I actually stand right now, and I don’t have access to a lab
  • I have a vague sense my network is just the same handful of people who all already know each other, and I can’t see where the gaps are
  • My phone follows me into every room of the house, and I pick it up without even deciding to
  • Even when I leave the phone in another room, I just end up restlessly wondering what I’m missing
  • I keep reading that VO2 max is the big longevity number, but I have no idea where I actually stand or whether I’m in the high-risk zone

Practices that may help

  1. Assess your VO2max regularly with a validated field test
    You can’t target VO2max improvement if you don’t know your starting point — a field test gives an accurate proxy without lab equipment.

  10. VIA Character Strengths, Made Practical
    Peterson and Seligman’s VIA Classification identifies 24 character strengths organized under six virtues, and multiple randomized trials find that using your top "signature strengths" in new ways reliably increases well-being and decreases depressive symptoms. The effect is most robust when strengths are deployed in engaged, relational ways — not just recognized but actively applied.
