Sleep is one of the most important but least understood aspects of our life, wellness, and longevity.

I’ve been in this life for fifty years, been trying to work out its riddle for forty-two, and been keeping diaries of clues to that riddle for the last thirty-five. Notes about successes and failures, joys and sorrows, things that made me marvel, and things that made me laugh out loud. How to be fair. How to have less stress. How to have fun. How to hurt people less. How to get hurt less. How to be a good man. How to have meaning in life. How to be more me. Recently, I worked up the courage to sit down with those diaries.

At Kept our goal is to connect generations by sharing the wisdom of those who have gone before us. Enjoy!

The chipping of ceramics echo across the square, the shuffling feet of crowds across cobbled streets, the tinkle of coins changing hands... and you may even hear Socrates, a philosopher known to walk the streets engaging in his infamous dialogic technique with the masses. He was beloved and maligned in equal measure for his ability to push his interlocutors to deeply interrogate and reflect on their thoughts and ideas. Podcasting, just like the Athenian Agora, is a marketplace of ideas, ...

For decades, the medical community has looked to a variety of reasons for why we age, and the consensus is that no-one dies of old age; they die of age-related diseases.

In Lifespan, Dr David Sinclair, one of the world’s foremost authorities on genetics and ageing, argues just that.

Luciel is moving up in the world and people, both good and bad, powerful and weak, have begun to take notice of this peculiar young man. Bent on becoming the best healer he can be in order to aid the many people who can’t afford treatment from the price-gouging clinics, he accepts his new position with trepidation, heading straight for the source of the infamous guild’s corruption. But something is up with the Church—a labyrinth of monsters lurks beneath the floor of the healers’ headquarters.

Change is coming for the Church of Saint Shurule, and Luciel’s first act as an S-rank healer is one that promises to shake the very foundations of the healing profession.
