You probably know your body follows a circadian rhythm, and probably think of it as primarily regulating your sleep/wake cycle, which it certainly does. But your body’s internal clock also regulates many other physical, mental, and behavioral changes that occur every 24 hours, and working with your circadian rhythm, rather than against it, can boost […] Help support independent publishing.

Seiko SRPG33 Field Watch. About four years ago, I embraced the Apple Watch. But lately, I’ve decided to go back to plain old analog watches. Why? For one thing, smartwatches don’t look very good, in my opinion. For another, they’re distracting. I’m a big proponent of putting away one’s phone during meals and conversations, since […] Help support independent publishing. Make a donation to The Art of Manliness! Thanks for the support!

“No word is oftener on the lips of men than Friendship,” said Henry David Thoreau. “All men are dreaming of it, and its drama…is enacted daily.” Given Thoreau’s misanthropic, taciturn reputation, it may seem surprising that he spoke so loftily of friendship, and especially that he associated it with “drama.” But, in fact, few men […]Help support independent publishing.
