Welcome back to the Rethinking Wellness monthly link roundup! Each month I’m offering a small collection of links from around the internet that are relevant to the conversations we have here, along with some quick takes and occasional deeper dives for paid subscribers.

Links

Here are some pieces that got me thinking this month, including one I was interviewed for. I generally enjoyed all of these, but links are not endorsements of every single detail in the piece or everything the writer ever wrote.

• AG1 Tried to Kill this Video. . . but it didn't work by Scott Carney (with a cameo by yours truly—you can watch the full video for free even though the written part is paywalled)

• Overthinking About Narcissism by Amanda Montell

• The Battle Against Misinformation by Gloria Mark
