Brains rule the world, so it’s important to keep yours healthy. Brains run everything; the stock market, huge corporations, the mom-and-pop shops down the street. Your brain governs everything you do: how you think, how you feel, how you act, how you get along with other people. In my work as a physician, psychiatrist and educator, I strive to spread the message that if your brain works right, you work right.

In an uncharacteristically Waddellian moment*, the Word of the Year for 2022 according to The Economist was ‘hybrid work’.

I have ambiguous feelings about the term ‘bootstrapping’. On the one hand, it’s the way I created my own business. On the other, I hate that it’s somehow become some sort of badge of honor. The term originated as a way of saying something was pretty much impossible. No one could literally pull themselves up using their bootstraps. Now it means starting a business with little to no capital.

Years ago, in the middle of my comedy career, I was in New York City driving a rental car that kept breaking down. It was 98 degrees, the air conditioning didn’t work, and sweat was pouring from my body. To make matters worse, I was in the world’s biggest traffic jam and already 45 minutes late for a very important audition. I started to feel an avalanche of negative emotions building up, putting me in a bad mood.

Remember the White Rabbit from Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland (“Oh dear! Oh dear! I shall be too late!”)? Take away the long ears, swap in something a bit spicier than “Oh dear,” and you’ve got me. Well, I’m sick of my always-late rabbit habit. Not just because it stresses me out. Not just because it makes other people mad (you should see the hairy eyeballs when my daughter and I straggle into her Saturday-morning music class).

I’m cheating a bit with this. Why? Because I’ve already started my 2023. In fact, I’m a full three months in as I write this. You see, I mirror my year with my kids’ school year.
