Happy holidays from Steve Chan —Life updates!

[Steven Chan <http://www.mentalpowerhacks.com/~steven>]

Dear Robert:

Happy holidays! I wanted to reconnect with you — from my new mailing
list!

I realize it may have been some time since we’ve connected, so I’d
like to share with you some updates from my life since 2016...

	* 🏥 WE’RE ALL HEALTHY: Halfway through my fellowship at UCSF, my
brother landed in the ER. He got diagnosed with end-stage renal
disease, and ultimately needed a transplant. I prepared to donate a
kidney for years since, but he ended up getting a kidney—from his
wife! I’ve written about our journey in my article on Hacking Stress
[/https://sendfox.com/trk/click/royzlgz9/09v2kr]. ; 

	* 💍 WE’RE GETTING MARRIED: After 2 wonderful years, I proposed
to my fiancée. Since then, she and I have shared happy moments
together — travels, _Les Mills_ fitness classes, & comedy shows. She
continues her work at Stanford as an NIH-funded postdoctoral
researcher. We even co-wrote an article on COVID-19 anxiety in
_Science_ magazine [/https://sendfox.com/trk/click/royzlgz9/llr6n6].

	* 🧳 WORK HAS BEEN AWESOME: I joined an amazing team dedicated to
working with veterans with addictions, and as an assistant professor
at Stanford University. I’ve spoken on digital mental health &
psychiatry topics at numerous venues around the world (the APA, at
Google’s mental health conference, Psych Congress, Harvard/McLean
Hospital, and more).  

I’ve launched a new consumer guide to productivity & mental health,
called _Mental Power Hacks_

Best wishes,

Steve
