His new book outlining his findings releases February 1. We find it a compelling root system for the New Year. Entitled The Common Rule, Earley offers his reflection on maintaining a connected life by balancing technology and human interactions. Building habits of purpose? Definitely something we want to work on.   Vitals: thecommonrule.org New Food Brittany Mullins of Eating Bird Food was our OG guest editor; we're obviously fans.
