Change is not always asking you to start over. Sometimes it's asking you to stop surviving on an old, outdated version of yourself. As Generation X, we pride ourselves on being tough. We know how to take a hit, endure hard times, and survive through sheer grit. But endurance has a specific purpose: ...

Look around you. People are unraveling in real time—at work, in traffic, online, in relationships, and across the culture.
