The 20 Mistakes You Don’t Want To Make In Your 20s Your 20s compose undoubtedly the most pivotal time in your life.

75 Years In The Making: Harvard Just Released Its Epic Study On What Men Need To Live A Happy Life In 1938 Harvard University began following 268 male undergraduate students and kicked off the longest-running longitudinal studies of human development in history. The study’s goal was to determine as best as possible what factors contribute most strongly to human flourishing. The astonishing range of psychological, anthropological, and physical traits — ranging from personality type to IQ to drinking habits to family relationships to “hanging length of his scrotum” — indicates just how exhaustive and quantifiable the research data has become. Recently, George Vaillant, who directed the study for more than three decades, published the study’s findings in the 2012 book Triumphs of Experience (Amazon) and the following is the book’s synopsis: As you can imagine, the study’s discoveries are bountiful, but the most significant finding of all is that “Alcoholism is a disorder of great destructive power.” Sources: Business Insider, The Take Away, and The Atlantic
The Painful Truth About Filmmaking No One Tells You When You're Just Starting Out YouTuber and independent filmmaker Darious Britt is back, this time with some hard truths about independent filmmaking that are sure to be painful to hear for anybody just starting with making their own films. Despite the bleak outlook, this video is one of the most inspiring things you'll see this week. Take a look. The painful truth is this: filmmaking -- particularly the independent variety -- is an uphill battle, and that's putting it mildly. For most of us, every step along the way will be fraught with unforeseen obstacles, most of which we won't have the proper time, money, or physical resources to solve. Some of these obstacles are technical, and can be solved with some ingenuity and a few healthy strips of gaffer's tape. However, many of them are far more debilitating, especially from a psychological perspective. On top of all that, the business of independent filmmaking is perilous -- cutthroat even. Where's the upside in all of this doom and gloom, you ask?
life The $200 Los Angeles Bike Ride Music Video This is a Guest Post by Nick Roberts of “And the Giraffe” A short introduction about myself: My name is Nick Roberts and I play in a band called “And the Giraffe” based out of Nashville, TN. A few months ago, after putting out our second album, we decided to shoot a music video to support the single from the record. Given that we’re an independent band, our budgets for just about all creative projects may as well look like we found loose change in our couch. In short, the music video features a camera mounted to the handlebars of a bicycle with the camera pointed towards the riders’ faces, as opposed to looking forward at the sidewalk, as we ride around downtown Los Angeles and into the desert. We shot the video with a Black Magic Design cinema camera, a recent purchase by our friend/director. The most challenging part of the entire shoot was figuring out a way we could mount the camera to the front of a bicycle without it being too heavy and falling over. And The Giraffe – Sorry
