					<description><![CDATA[This began as a guide for my students, but I’ve decided to share it with a wider audience. Even though there are countless guides on the internet aimed at human well-being, I hope, despite some inevitable overlap, this offers something more. And when and where it doesn’t, reminders such as these often help. I know I need them!  the [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Concepts of modernity and progress have long served as markers of differentiation in human history. We often consider the past as primitive and inferior to our current state of civilization, resulting in inattentional blindness to the failings of our most recent institutions. Anxieties about this tendency were particularly prevalent in the early 19th century, as exemplified by authors such as [&#8230;]]]></description>
