For nearly twenty years, the global self-help category was the most profitable corner of non-fiction publishing. James Clear’s ‘Atomic Habits’ alone has sold more than fifteen million copies.

Cal Newport, Mark Manson, Mel Robbins, and Naval Ravikant became names readers cited the way an earlier generation cited literary novelists. The promise was consistent. Wake up earlier. Track your habits. Optimise your mornings. Improve by one per cent a day. The books sold, and they kept selling. Until, suddenly, they did not sell quite as well.

Some retirees end up saving far more than necessary, taking on additional investment risk, or…

Many retirees got a welcome break this filing season. Under the 2025 tax law, older couples could deduct as much as $12,000, lowering what they owed right away. For anyone whose retirement plan leans heavily on Social Security income, that extra room in the budget was hard to turn down. There is a side effect worth knowing about, though. A portion of the federal income tax paid on Social Security benefits flows back into the program’s trust funds. When those tax bills go down, that revenue stream shrinks too. Simply put, the deduction helps retirees now, but…
