Send us Fan Mail There's a belief living in your body that you never consciously chose. It arrived before you were old enough to question it, before you had language for it, before you even knew it was being installed. And it's been quietly running the show ever since. It sounds like this: Your body cannot be trusted. Maybe not in those exact words, it rarely is. It shows up as the apology you give before you've said anything wrong. The smaller thing you order when you actually want the...
