Let’s just say I got a few concerned gazes from people as I held my camera inches from these door knockers. I’m happy that no one opened up the door while I was snapping shots – or on second thought that would have given me a chance to say, “I’m a blogger and [...]

How many of us don’t get lazy every now and then? Of course, some of us get lazy more than others — my mom (always a hard worker) once told me she gets lazy, but then she just does the work anyway. I replied, “Mom, [...]

I’ve written a bunch of articles about health, fitness, and the challenges of getting in shape, and I thought it would be useful to compile some of the best articles in one place. Many readers have only begun reading Zen Habits in recent months, and may have missed some of these classics.
So here they are, [...]

As a runner, there is almost nothing in this world that can take me to the places that running does. I find solitude in my running, I find my thoughts and my peace, I find energy and motivation, I come up with my best ideas and solve my toughest problems. Running transforms me.

On a recent trip to Ohrid, Macedonia, I arrived in the middle of the night after a six-hour bus ride through Albania. It was my first time in Macedonia, so I didn’t know my way around very well. I [...]
