Why Men Are So Obsessed With Morning Routines

1 week ago | gq.com | Josiah Gogarty

It’s 3:30 a.m. Other than a few night-shift workers, insomniacs, and ravers, the world is asleep. But not Mark Wahlberg. His alarm has just gone off, jolting him awake for a long morning of eating, praying, working out, and sitting in his cryo recovery chamber. Not far behind him is Apple CEO Tim Cook, whose eyelids flicker open at 3:45, so he can tackle some of the hundreds of customer feedback emails in his inbox before starting the meat of his day.
The best coffee table books to get your living room more ’Gram-worthy

1 week ago | gq-magazine.co.uk | Josiah Gogarty

Coffee table books are often dismissed as mere adornments or affectations, but when they’re devoted to the right subject, they make for a truly luxurious reading experience – about as far as you can get from squinting at your phone (just don’t try to flick through one on the Tube, unless you’re working on your biceps). Because of their visual potential, coffee table books are usually the best format for visual-heavy stories – hence all the ones about fashion brands, artists and photography.
The best Bon Iver musical collaborations, ranked

1 week ago | gq-magazine.co.uk | Josiah Gogarty

The new Bon Iver album, Sable, Fable, is a certified jam: a collection of sunny, silky-smooth tunes that fit perfectly with the arrival of spring. It’s also a family affair. Danielle Haim, Dijon, Kacy Hill, Jacob Collier and Mk.gee are among those who come through to contribute credited or uncredited features. This isn’t so unusual, because Justin Vernon, the founder and mastermind of Bon Iver, is a compulsive collaborator.

It’s 3.30 a.m. Besides a few night-shift workers, insomniacs and ravers, the world is unconscious. Not Mark Wahlberg. His alarm has just gone off, jolting him into life for a long morning of eating, praying, working out, and sitting in his cryo recovery chamber. Not far behind him is Apple CEO Tim Cook, whose eyelids flicker open at 3.45, so he can tackle some of the hundreds of customer feedback emails in his inbox before starting the meat of his day.
Twenty very modern dating questions, answered by very modern love gurus

1 week ago | gq-magazine.co.uk | Josiah Gogarty

Dating’s a minefield these days. I’m in the Hinge trenches. I really dodged a bullet with her. We hooked up once, then he dropped off the radar. Many of us reach for the language of warfare when describing our relationship woes. Is this such a surprise? For the manifold faults of how our parents’ generation got freaky, their rituals did offer a touch more certainty. You met someone you fancied – at work, a pub, a party – and asked them out.

세상에 좋고 나쁜 콜레스테롤은 없다. 이 기사를 읽고 올바른 종류의 지방을 찾아 섭취하자. 운동을 더하고 필요하다면 약물 치료도 덧붙일 것. 우리 모두가 콜레스테롤에 대해 어렴풋이 알고 있을 것이다. 요구르트나 마가린 포장지에서 본 적 있을 테니까. 이런 제품들은 콜레스테롤을 낮추는 방법에 대해 광고한다. 하지만 나쁜 콜레스테롤은 존재하지 않는다. 좋은 콜레스테롤도 마찬가지다. “콜레스테롤은 그냥 콜레스테롤입니다.”라고 The Doctor’s Kitchen이라는 팟캐스트와 요리책을 제작하는 의사 루피 아우즐라는 말한다. 구체적으로 말하면, 콜레스테롤은 우리 몸이 스스로 생성하기도 하고, 음식으로부터 흡수하기도 하는 지방질 물질이며, 인체에 필수적이다. 이는 세포막과 테스토스테론 같은 호르몬을 만드는 데 도움이 되는 등 다양한 긍정적 역할을 한다. 사람들이 일반적으로 말하는 “좋은” 콜레스테롤과 “나쁜” 콜레스테롤은, 실제로는 콜레스테롤이 몸 안에서 어떻게 운반되는지를 설명하는 것이다.
Les 12 albums des Beatles, classés du moins bien au meilleur

Qu'y a-t-il de plus fabuleux qu'un biopic sur les Beatles ? Quatre biopics. C'est du moins la logique de Sam Mendes, qui s'est engagé à livrer une tétralogie de films sur les Beatles en avril 2028 — un pour chaque membre.
Comment l'anxiété masculine a fait naître l'ère de la routine matinale ultra optimisée

2 weeks ago | gqmagazine.fr | Josiah Gogarty

Il est 3h30 du matin. À part quelques travailleurs de nuit, des insomniaques et des fêtards, le monde est inconscient. Pas Mark Wahlberg, qui entame sa routine matinale. Son réveil vient de sonner, lançant une longue matinée faite de repas, de prières, d'exercices physiques et d'un passage dans sa cabine de cryothérapie. Peu de temps après lui, Tim Cook, le PDG d'Apple, ouvre les paupières à 3h45 pour s'attaquer à quelques-uns des centaines de mails qui s'entassent dans sa boîte de réception.
Translated fiction is hottest trend in books right now. Here's the novels you should have read

2 weeks ago | gq-magazine.co.uk | Josiah Gogarty

The best translated fiction is one of those categories that’s nearly impossible to narrow down, partly because of the endless library of titles it covers – and partly just because translated fiction is everywhere right now. The popular novel of the moment, Asako Yuzuki’s Butter, is Japanese. Fitzcarraldo Editions, every literature obsessive’s favourite indie publisher, has built its reputation on translated work, particularly from Europe.

このタイミングで、音楽史上最も優れた名曲が詰まったザ・ビートルズのアルバムを、ランキングにして振り返ってみた。他の追随を許さない歌詞と、レコーディングスタジオでの革新。ポップ・ミュージックの概念を変えたザ・ビートルズという存在に、もはや説明はいらない。デビュー後の活動期間はわずか8年弱だが、この間に誰もが知るマスターピースの数々が誕生したのだ。以下は、ザ・ビートルズのオリジナル・アルバム全12枚のランキングだ。これはUK版『GQ』のライターである筆者の独断によるものだ。異論は認める。 12：『イエロー・サブマリン』（1969年）...
