More From Leonard Nimoy

And dieting, i discovered, was another form of disordered eating, just as anorexia and bulimia similarly disrupt the natural order of eating. "ordered" eating is the practice of eating when you are hungry and ceasing to eat when your brain sends the signal that your stomach is full. ... all people who live their lives on a diet are suffering. if you can accept your natural body weight and not force it to beneath your body's natural, healthy weight, then you can live your life free of dieting, of restriction, of feeling guilty every time you eat a slice of your kid's birthday cake.

Our society's strong emphasis on dieting and self-image can sometimes lead to eating disorders. we know that more than 5 million americans suffer from eating disorders, most of them young women.

Narcissism is actually a clever guise adopted to mask its exact opposite, which is a deep well of self-loathing, a well of low self-esteem, rather than high self-esteem. this helps explain why narcissists are so sensitive to criticism, why narcissists tend to break into outrage if they're criticized, because their self-esteem is actually much more brittle than it seems, and once they're challenged, that mask falls apart.

Cleverness is a burden after that. you are supposed to settle down and be a good person, raise your children, and be good to your friends, which you may not have been back when you were clever.
