Are millennials having a midlife crisis?

Say it ain’t so! It’s the season finale of Article Club and the millennial midlife crises are upon us. In his Vox piece, “The Midlife Crisis is Coming for Milennials lol” Alex Abad-Santos explains why we’re not buying red sports cars and having affairs (who’s got the time and money for that?). It's cool. We’re freaking out over being half-way to death in a whole new way.

Article Club: Should we all do ayahuasca?

This week we’re heading on an ayahuasca retreat with Sarah Miller and her piece, “Pirates of the Ayahuasca" in N+1 magazine. She makes the trek to Peru to drink the trendy hallucinogenic potion which she says, “compels the drinker to vomit, witness their own death, or — my hope — develop a capacity to endure life.” She’s deeply depressed and also deeply funny and boy do we have a lot to talk about. Get your puke/poo buckets cause Ep 10 is coming right up! https://www.nplusonemag.com/issue-50/essays/pirates-of-the-ayahuasca/

Article Club: How do your siblings influence you?

Do our siblings have more of an impact on our success than our parents?! This week we’re talking allllll about “The Surprising Ways That Siblings Shape Our Lives,” Susan Dominus’ new piece in NYT that explores patterns in highly successful siblings.
