We explore the powerful practice of distilling your hard-earned observations into concise "Secrets of Adulthood,&rdquo; such as "Working is one of the most dangerous forms of procrastination" and "The more I write, the more I write." We also talk about the simple pleasure of physical magazines, and we tackle a complex Four Tendencies question about supporting an Obliger mother-in-law whose helpfulness contributed to her health problems.
