While both technically work, I’m partial to “San Fran.” “SF” made me think of science fiction, but that might just be because I live in a library next to the pop collection.

Answering questions at Boston College O’Neill Library

I asked one of my assistants, and they said that they try to focus on two words: “be correctable.” Try to take responsibility and accountability for your choices, apologize and seek repair, and focus on how you will do things differently moving forward. We can’t change what we did in the past, but we absolutely can decide to approach things differently in the future.

I’m really more a continental philosophy type than an analytical one. Allow me to recommend something like Gensler’s Introduction to Logic. https://bit.ly/4d8rjmj

That’s either a bad idea or hype. Healthy weight loss plans are slow, like 5-10% of your current weight in six months. Some suggestions: https://bit.ly/4etDwo4

Yes, the Social Work Library will be moving too. But it will have windows, a garden view, and be just a short shuttle ride away.

My assistants have assembled the list below. For more, I’d suggest getting a Minuteman library card (bit.ly/minuteman-card) and using it to access NoveList, a resource built for finding book titles by interest areas. You might also use librarything.com: just plug in a title you like and see what similar titles come up.

Research has shown that weekly appointments are more effective for most people because it gives you time in between sessions to reflect and try to make small changes. Of course if you are experiencing a crisis, that’s a different story! There is an emergency clincian line always available: bit.ly/4sL6xPi

It’s not just you, things are rough for lots of people right now. The most important thing for humans seems to be other humans, so my advice is to reach out to someone. Call or text that friend you haven’t talked to in a while, or your relative you miss. Do something nice for a stranger. The rocks don’t go away, but you can laugh with a friend while you clean up the glass which gets everywhere.

See my answer to the other rock recipient: the best path is to find other humans in the same boat and work together.

Yes, with serious caveats. The world of ultrarunning is intense and definitely not for beginners. While people technically can do it, there’s lots to consider in terms of physiology and decision-making to avoid injury and illness. If you’re serious, you should take a look at some ultrarunning resources to learn more about training, gear, and reputable races, such as UltraRunning magazine: bit.ly/ultrarunningmag
