The Week in Better Humans, July 19–25, 2021

Below is your non-algorithmic list of everything new on Better Humans this week.

This week includes lessons from earning a World Jiu-Jitsu Championship to reading between the lines on dating profiles. From smart habit building to stretching those muscles who resent all your time at your desk to getting a new job to get away from that desk. And lots of good advice on setting boundaries. Lots.

We even throw in a bit of psychopathy, just for fun.

It’s all below.
