It's no longer an exaggeration to say that middle-class Americans are an endangered species.

I used to stay up, stupidly, to work, and I'd just eat to keep my eyes open. I wasn't even hungry - it was just a way to power through.

But you have to do what you dream of doing even while you're afraid.

The fastest way to break the cycle of perfectionism and become a fearless mother is to give up the idea of doing it perfectly - indeed to embrace uncertainty and imperfection.

Increasingly, staying in the middle class - let alone aspiring to become middle class - is becoming a game of chance.

A lot of effort and money are - rightly - expended keeping the president physically safe. But it's up to the president to maintain a schedule that allows for refueling, so as to be physically and cognitively at his or her best at all times. That's what it means to be strong, tough, and truly fit for the highest office.

Semakin kita menolak untuk menerima kritik batin kita - dan kritik eksternal kita juga - semakin mudah untuk memiliki kepercayaan pada pilihan kita, dan untuk merasa nyaman dengan siapa kita - sebagai wanita dan sebagai ibu.

Trump's executive order on refugees, his endless petty feuds - with allies, with judges, with Arnold Schwarzenegger - his constant stream of up-is-down and down-is-up fabrications is outrageous.

Women process stress differently. If we can change the workplace culture to make it more welcoming for women, we're also going to improve behavior, and we're going to improve outcomes.

I've always been fascinated by dreams - mine are so vivid. I went through a period in my 20s when I wrote down my dreams every morning. Then life intervened, and I stopped doing it.

I get asked all the time how much sleep I get. That's what happens when you write a book called 'The Sleep Revolution,' travel around the world talking about it, and found a company committed to ending our global burnout crisis.

When it comes to our collective health, how we deal with the multiple crises and problems around us also depends on the power of context - in other words, our resilience.

We need to accept that we won't always make the right decisions, that we'll screw up royally sometimes - understanding that failure is not the opposite of success, it's part of success.

Mainstream media tend to just mouth the conventional wisdom, to see everything through the filter of right and left.

I declare an end to my day by removing my phone from my bedroom and putting it in a phone charging bed.

There is nothing like becoming a mom to fill you with fear.

Trying to be Supermom is as futile as trying to be Perfect Mom. Not going to happen.

The economic game is not supposed to be rigged like some shady ring toss on a carnival midway.

There's no love more intense than the love we have for our kids - and where there is intense love, there is also intense fear lurking beneath the surface.

Any president's actions have real consequences in real people's lives.
