As we all ride through life it’s easy to settle into habitual tendencies — Honey Nut Cheerios in the morning, an after-work drink, putting socks on before pants. These are usually good things. A little bit of consistency goes a long way towards an even-keeled life. But at some point we’ve all got to grow. Can you imagine where you’d be right now if you still practiced “Vodka Thursdays” religiously or only read the Harry Potter novels? Puking your way through “Potter’s Wizarding World at Universal Studios” is no way to live.
A great way to expand your horizons and change your tendencies is to switch up your periodicals. Just like you eschewed Highlights and SI Kids, it’s time to explore some new frontiers when it comes to what’s arriving in your mailbox. We’ve picked ten of our favorites from an incredible crop of literary, sports, lifestyle, food and business magazines that will inspire you to do everything from cook the perfect brisket to master the nuances of Japanese cobbling.
