    Any ideas on how I can stop being a shitty person?

    HOT! IDEA PEOPLE 
    While I agree with what some others have said that this is likely to be something of a childhood issue, two other things come to mind from my own personal experience: If you've ever suffered from a concussion(s), your anger and paranoia may be a sign of a latent brain injury. My brother had...

    How much time do you spend on your phone daily?

    My usage is extremely low (about 30 min/day), but then again, I prefer using a computer and don't need my phone for much other than phone calls. My strategies: I put my phone on a shelf behind my desk so I don't see it while I work I have very few apps Notifications are turned off If I'm out...

    My 600lb Life: Addiction, Enabling, More (RANT)

    NOTABLE! 
    My parents (both from Europe) had a similar culture shock when they first came to the US. In particular, my mom was working as a nurse at the time (this was back in the late 70's/early 80s) and she said that she had never seen so many fat and obese people as when she started working in American...

    A Spectacular Failure (FTE) Paves the Way Forward

    FTE INTRO 
    I really feel for your situation. I could have easily ended up in a similar predicament as you describe. I followed almost the same trajectory as you did, although when it came time to actually go to med school, I had a crisis and couldn't go through with it. The fear of accumulating such large...

    Overwhelmed and tired of inaction. I need to do something!

    INTRO 
    I have been in a similar position in the past (years ago) where I was very fixated, and ultimately totally paralyzed, by the idea that I MUST find some kind of business idea... all this did was cripple me. I was temporarily living with my parents, and that was only making things worse. Things...

    A physicist's guide to learning hard things (and using the scientific method)

    GOLD! MINDSET 
    Thank you for writing about this; this is exactly the kind of thing I've been looking for. What you describe sounds pretty much identical to the way my dad teaches math--this way of thinking should absolutely be used in business as well! I also like that you address the role of reading...

    Hello from Boston! I did everything "right" and trapped myself in the slowlane. BUT...

    SLOWLANE INTRO 
    You make a really good point. Come to think of it, I also know someone who runs his own biomedical lab at Stanford and has made millions from patents for cancer treatments. He has an MD (I'm not sure if hThe only thing is that he only hires people with PhDs for his lab. You make a really good...

    Hello from Boston! I did everything "right" and trapped myself in the slowlane. BUT...

    SLOWLANE INTRO 
    I feel for your dilemma because I've been in a similar situation. Currently, I'm finishing my PhD in a STEM field. It's a position I accepted because it's fully funded and provided a salary (this is in Europe, not the US). I was considering med school in the US but couldn't get past all the debt...

    About to get my PhD and totally sick of the slowlane

    SLOWLANE INTRO 
    Thanks for the words of encouragement; it helps to hear from a fellow PhD survivor. If there's one thing I can give credit to my mentor for, it's that she insisted I do everything myself (and at least she didn't/doesn't scream at me either! Yikes!). This definitely enabled me to gain valuable...

    About to get my PhD and totally sick of the slowlane

    SLOWLANE INTRO 
    Hello, I’m 31 years old; born and raised in a small town in IL roughly a 4-5 hour drive away from Chicago, but now live in Slovenia (my dad’s native country) because that’s where I met my Slovenian husband. I’ve recently read TMF and Unscripted, both of which I’m very thankful to have come...
