+So, attend carefully to your posture. Quit drooping and hunching around. Speak your mind. Put your desires forward, as if you had a right to them—at least the same right as others. Walk tall and gaze forthrightly ahead. Dare to be dangerous. Encourage the serotonin to flow plentifully through the neural pathways desperate for its calming influence. ^ref-50194

+But more often than not, modern parents are simply paralyzed by the fear that they will no longer be liked or even loved by their children if they chastise them for any reason.

+No one can have a discussion about “everything.” Instead, you can say, “This exact, precise thing—that is what is making me unhappy. This exact, precise thing—that is what I want, as an alternative (although I am open to suggestions, if they are specific). This exact, precise thing—that is what you could deliver, so that I will stop making your life and mine miserable.” But to do that, you have to think: What is wrong, exactly? What do I want, exactly? ^ref-6622

+People, including children (who are people too, after all), don’t seek to minimize risk. They seek to optimize it. They drive and walk and love and play so that they achieve what they desire, but they push themselves a bit at the same time, too, so they continue to develop. Thus, if things are made too safe, people (including children) start to figure out ways to make them dangerous again. ^ref-54750

+If light chronicles the history of the universe, rocks tell our planet’s story. When you gaze into the Grand Canyon or marvel at the peaks framing Lake Louise, you’re viewing nature’s library, with volumes of Earth history on display, inscribed in stone. Sediments—cobbles, sands, or muds formed by erosion of earlier rocks, or limestones precipitated from water bodies—spread across floodplains and the seafloor, recording, layer upon layer, the physical, chemical, and biological features of our planet’s surface at the time and place they formed. Igneous rocks—formed from molten materials deep inside the Earth—tell us more about our planet’s dynamic interior, as do metamorphic rocks forged from sedimentary or igneous precursors at elevated temperature and pressure deep within the Earth. Collectively, these rocks offer a grand narrative of Earth’s development from youth to maturity, of life’s evolution from bacteria to you, and—perhaps the grandest narrative of all—of the ways that the physical and biological Earth have influenced each other through time. ^ref-10466

+Our planet coalesced some 4.54 billion years ago, but Earth’s oldest known rocks date back only to about 4 billion years. Older rocks must have existed, but they’ve been eroded away or were buried and transformed through metamorphism into unrecognizable form. A few may still lie in some remote Canadian or Siberian hillside, waiting to be recognized, but largely, the first 600 million years of Earth history constitutes our planet’s Dark Age. ^ref-41339

+
+A few tens of millions of years after Earth had mostly accreted, a Mars-size body rammed into our infant planet, flinging rock and gas into space. Much of the ejected material eventually coalesced to form a relatively small rocky sphere, locked into permanent orbit around the Earth. The full moon may inspire poetry, but it was born in violence, its secrets unlocked through careful studies of lunar rocks. ^ref-53195

+Uranium-238 has a half-life of 4.47 billion years, meaning that on this timescale half of the uranium-238 in a sample will have decayed to lead-206; similarly, uranium-235 has a half-life of 710 million years. Because no lead entered the zircons as they formed, any lead we measure in them today must have formed by the radioactive decay of uranium. So, by the careful measurement of uranium and lead in zircons, we gain a clock, Earth’s best chronometer for calibrating our planet’s deep history. ^ref-51112

+Had you lived at the time of Christ or a thousand years later, your life and, indeed, the human impact on our planet would have been broadly similar. Our numbers didn’t change much over that interval, hovering around 200 million. As humans learned to exploit the energy resources beneath our feet, however, the trajectories of population size, technological innovation, and environmental influence moved into high gear—in less than two centuries, we went from horse power and steam to gasoline and jet fuel. The human population passed the billion point around 1800, reaching two billion by 1930, and four billion in 1975. We’re on course to complete another doubling in the coming decade. And as our population has grown, the environmental impact of each individual has expanded remarkably. Fossil fuels have been extracted since the nineteenth century, but their use has increased nearly tenfold since World War II. ^ref-43284
