The most freeing thing is realizing how little power the naysayers have over us — unless we give it to them.

That's, of course, the ultimate frontier. Because that's where our centered place of strength, resilience, peace and wisdom, the eye of the hurricane, is to be found.

I know there is a lot of excitement at the moment about exploring outer space. But I’m really so much more excited about how AI will help us explore a more neglected, unmapped and equally infinite frontier: inner space.

Why do we assume there’s a 1:1 equation between the level of scientific progress and human flourishing? Are we evolving at the same pace as the machines we’re creating? And how can we come up with a new AI narrative that reaches a much broader audience beyond media, tech and business professionals?

I’m curious about your workday and the trends you’ve noticed over the past year.

At Thrive, one way we avoid this is with the Entry Interview, a conversation between a new hire and their manager in which the first question is: “What’s important to you in your life outside of work and how can we support you?”

“The modern workday for many has no clear start or finish,” study authors write. “As business demands grow more complex and expectations continue to rise, time once reserved for focus or recovery may now be spent catching up, prepping, and chasing clarity.”

Information overload during business hours is even worse, with employees being interrupted every two minutes – or 275 times a day – by emails, messages or meetings. www.microsoft.com/en-us/workla...

Breaking down the infinite workday To unlock AI’s full potential, we need to clear one key barrier. A follow-up to the 2025 Work Trend Index.

The trend of working at all hours started in the pandemic but kept going after the pandemic ended. Looking at data over the 12 months through February, the study found that meetings after 8 p.m. are up 16%, with the average employee sending or receiving over 50 messages outside core business hours.

What do you do after the workday ends? For a growing number of people, the answer is: put in another workday. A new Microsoft Work Trend Index Special Report explores our new “infinite workday.”

Not surprisingly, Chef José Andrés’ World Central Kitchen is on the ground in California providing meals to first responders and families impacted by the fires.

As @iangoldin.bsky.social writes, “thriving economies naturally attract more migrants, who, in turn, boost productivity and fuel economic growth..." theexperimentpublishing.com/catalogs/win...

Migration might be a polarizing issue at the moment, but as
@iangoldin.bsky.social writes in his terrific new book, “The Shortest History of Migration,” humans have always been on the move. Goldin shows the many ways in which migration strengthens countries and drives growth.

So next time you’re in a routine medical appointment, even if your doctor doesn’t ask about your daily behaviors, open up the discussion yourself – it’s valuable information that’s likely going to impact any medical conditions you’re experiencing. bit.ly/3WLRic7

But given how much science we have on how our five key daily behaviors – food, exercise, sleep, stress management and connection – also have on our health outcomes, doctors should be screening for these as well.

However, a new study in @jama.com found that 27% of doctors were routinely asking patients about the five most common social risks, or social determinants of health. That’s up from 15% in 2017 and a great development.

How are you sleeping? Are you getting enough movement in your day? How is your stress level?

These are questions doctors should be routinely asking in medical appointments, but they’re not.
