I've always believed that who a reporter votes for, what religion they are, who they love, should not be something they have to discuss publicly.

One of the things that Jon Kabat-Zinnn talks about is that everyone wants to figure out how to live longer. But this actually is a very easy way for you to live longer, maybe you're not extending your life, but you are present and living more of the moments of your life.
