1/4 In the first episode of the podcast “The Review,” our staff writers @davidlsims, @megangarber, and @sophieGG discuss the unlikely hit sitcom #TedLasso. What is the second season saying about the merits (and the limits) of American optimism? theatlantic.com/podcasts/archi…
2/4 “‘Ted Lasso’ came out of nowhere, almost,” @sophieGG says. The show was adapted from an NBC Sports ad in which an American coach who knows nothing about soccer moves to England to coach a Premier League team. The result, our critics agree, is a heartwarming, feel-good show.
3/4 #TedLasso “took off because people really loved its ethos, its optimistic sports narrative in Season 1,” @sophieGG says. @megangarber adds: “I think there’s something quietly genius about making this show that is about team sports not about the sport at all.”

1/ Our journey to happier living starts with the question “How do I feel right now?” In the first episode of "How To Build a Happy Life," @arthurbrooks and @danbharris explore the neuroscience of emotional management—and the first small step you can take.

2/ Pop culture tells us that we should get in touch with our feelings, Arthur says, but there's a danger in being too reactive to them. Our feelings are often out of balance. Meditation is one way to manage them—not eradicate them completely.
3/ @danharris, a former broadcast journalist who now hosts @10percent, was once skeptical of the value of meditation. "But then I saw the science that really strongly suggests that it can lower your blood pressure, boost your immune system, rewire key parts of your brain."

1/7 The current pandemic is far from over, but the window to prepare for future threats is closing fast, @edyong209 reports. How can the U.S. stay 10 steps ahead of tomorrow’s viruses when it can’t stay one step ahead of today’s? on.theatln.tc/ZCGlqpn
2/7 America’s frustrating inability to learn from the recent past shouldn’t be surprising to anyone familiar with the history of public health, Yong writes. The U.S. has been stuck in a Sisyphean cycle of panic and neglect: Image
3/7 “It might seem ridiculous to think about future pandemics now,” Yong writes. But we'll be doomed to repeat the panic-neglect cycle if we don’t act.

1/9 Today in The Atlantic, we’re thinking about offices: What are they good for, really? And why have some started to look like your living room?
2/9 Offices are “filling up with furnishings and flourishes such as comfy sofas, open shelving, framed artwork, mirrors, curtains, rugs, floor lamps, coffee tables, and materials such as wood and linen,” @jpinsk reports: on.theatln.tc/m54t8GG The office-design experts I...
3/9 Employers who use this aesthetic—known, regrettably, as resimercial—“hope that a more charming and comfortable physical space might help attract talented workers and help their employees do better work,” Joe Pinsker writes. Image

1/5 Grills are more than adornment, @JulianThePoet argues. They’re about choosing your own type of beauty. on.theatln.tc/sDp0htL
2/5 “Gold teeth have become as much a matter of community as of style,” @JulianThePoet writes.

“Every gold tooth in a Black mouth is a song with no lyrics … Often I’ve looked at a gold tooth and seen a kind of North Star, a light that chants ‘home.’”

1/5 Working-class Black women are “ingenious purveyors of fashion,” but their influence has been ignored, @charlienchargie writes. Designer Charles Harbison reflects on how women like his mom and grandmother wrote their own beauty narratives. theatlantic.com/culture/archiv…
2/5 Harbison’s mom worked at a tool factory, but on the weekends “she became a sexy Donna Karan power woman,” he writes.
3/5 Harbison’s grandma was a factory knitter. But the “smell of machinery” and “lint littering her short cropped hair” vanished on the weekends: “Her hair and cocoa complexion served as the perfect canvas for the silky sheaths and matching clutch-and-pump sets she preferred.”
