We discuss why it’s useful to dust off unused items—and either start using them or give them away. We also share a happiness hack from a listener who explains why it can be very valuable to give physical therapy another chance. Finally, we explore a “Secret of Adulthood” about cultivating friendship, and we answer a listener’s question about how and why fictional characters often embody the Four Tendencies framework.
