Hunter Biden has been sober for approximately seven to eight years after a prolonged addiction battle that included multiple rehab stints and periods where his family didn't know his whereabouts.
Where this was said

The section on Hunter Biden's addiction is quiet and devastating. For extended periods, the Biden family simply didn't know where Hunter was. He was cycling through rehab programs; communication went dark for weeks. His daughters kept asking where their father was, and no one had an answer. [1] — Dr. Jill Biden "For years, the Biden family had no idea where Hunter was as he cycled through rehab after rehab. His daughters kept asking where Daddy was.…" 58:28 Jill flew in a professional interventionist and orchestrated a meeting at the family home. Hunter walked in, saw what was happening, and bolted. Joe chased him out of the house and held him. Jill's initial reaction — 'we gave him everything, why would he turn to drugs?' — is one she now recognizes as a misunderstanding of what addiction actually is. It's a disease. And loving someone through a disease sometimes means holding on even when they run. Hunter has now been sober for seven to eight years, is remarried, has a young son named Beau, and is using his experience to help others in recovery.
Jill Biden now wishes she had spoken more openly about Hunter Biden's addiction during her time as First Lady. So many families are dealing with the same thing in silence, and people need to know they are not alone. Addiction is a disease — and the stigma is costing lives.
Despite predictions that AI would eliminate radiologists, the Mayo Clinic's radiology staff grew 55% after AI arrived at reading scans.
In 2025, radiology was the second-highest paid medical specialty in America, with average incomes 48% higher than a decade ago.
A study across 3 hospitals found radiologists spent only 36% of their time reading scans — the part AI can do — with the rest being human judgment.
Robert Greene notes that one in six Americans is on some form of drug to deal with depression, suggesting a deep societal disconnection from meaningful experience.
Spencer Greenberg and Jeremy Stevenson analyzed almost 500 self-improvement techniques and found they all reduce to just 12 underlying psychological drivers.
Cold exposure has good short-term alertness benefits but the evidence base for long-term health benefits is much weaker than popularly believed.
In a randomized study of 20 habit-formation techniques run on hundreds of people, almost none of the techniques produced statistically meaningful results.
People given a tiny-habit fallback option (e.g. 10 squats instead of gym) were actually MORE successful at completing the full habit, not less.
The most effective habit-formation technique was 'habit reflection' — recalling a past successful habit, writing down what helped, then applying those lessons to a new habit.
