From infancy to adulthood, we need each other. Jesus walked with others. Science backs it. Belonging is by design, not weakness.RHYTHM — Dogs Are Man’s Best FriendIn the chaos of your 20s, the most stabilizing force might be loyalty in fur. For Dr. K, it was Kona. Adopt. Walk. Heal. Presence is a practice — and sometimes your dog is the best coach.RITUAL — Go Buy a Goldfish and Name It Bobby HolidayCan’t afford a dog? Start smaller. A goldfish can be sacred.
