Using your hands = "mental vitamin" →
When you do meaningful work with your hands, a kind of neurochemical feedback floods your brain with dopamine and serotonin. These happy brain chemicals are natural antidepressants, and we’ve evolved to release them both to reward ourselves for working with our hands and to motivate ourselves to do it some more.

I bought four Richard Feynman books online instead. One is a duplicate of a book I already own; I bought it for him. In my tipsy haze I looked up his address, thinking I’d actually send it.
