When you ask yourself such question (“should I settle or not?”), it implies that you’re not satisfied with it. You’re not that happy. You can’t be yourself very freely and completely. You feel that something is missing. Listen, the advice would be cruel. Let it go. Go for something better. Go for what you really deserve. Sometimes you have to be rational, for the sake of your own happiness. Go away and find new ones that you really like and enjoy spending time with....

Imagine this: you are the pilot of a Navy fighter jet. You’re flying in formation when you come under attack from ground-based rockets. The plane nearest you takes a hit and spins into your path, while another rocket screams toward you. And out of the corner of your eye, you see enemy planes approaching. Suddenly, an alarm goes off – something bad just went wrong in your engine… If you’re lucky, you have a second to react....

This is a decent idea, as studies have shown that gratitude is a powerful anti-depressant. In addition, practicing gratitude has been shown to build a positive self-esteem “habit” of sorts. However, this practice seems to lack the “umph” low self-esteemers need – it fails to get to the root of the issue. A gratitude practice is a bit more relevant to someone suffering from depression (e.g. listing experiences you enjoyed could evoke happiness), but not necessarily higher self-esteem....

This finding resulted from a recent study of 312 people who took a questionnaire to measure their autistic traits and participated in creativity tests. Published in the Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, the research examines people who may not have a diagnosis of autism, but have significant levels of behavior and thought processes normally correlated with the condition. “People with autistic traits may approach creativity problems in a different way,” said Dr....

The New Study: does Zika Really Cause Microcephaly? This new study was undertaken by the New England Complex Systems Institute (NECSI) and recently published in the prestigious New England Journal of Medicine. In it, researchers did a large study of 12,000 pregnant Columbian women who showed signs and symptoms of the Zika virus. What is interesting about this study, though, it that none of these 12,000 women gave birth to babies with microcephaly....

Via a web interface, you can choose to have your phone called at a particular time (or several times). At the elected time, your phone will be dialed and you will hear a prerecorded message that’s one half of a conversation.

Their findings are quite surprising, as not only do they shed light on people’s experiences and how popular certain actions are amongst us human beings, but they also suggest predictions for personality traits, habits, and any other experiences you are likely to have had!...

I always wanted to become a Level 2 instructor. The abilities of a Level 2 ski instructor is considered to be a very respectable skiing level. So after a few years as a Level 1, I decided to take the Level 2 certification course....

Most people don’t know that Einstein’s theory of relativity can actually be applied to productivity. If we pull back the shades on his theory, you’ll see that it’s divided into two distinct parts: “special” and “general” relativity. Special relativity basically explains that motion is defined relative to an inert frame of reference like time and space — where there is no gravity. On the other hand, general relativity expands this notion by including gravity as a dependent variable in the equation....

–Cheryl Richardson High Sensitivity is genetic Research shows that rather than just being a personality type, like being shy or outgoing, high sensitivity is defined as having a hypersensitive nervous system. Heightened sensitivity makes a person acutely aware of subtleties in his/her surroundings, and is more easily overwhelmed when in a highly stimulating environment. I can hear you asking, “but isn’t our personality a product of our genes?” And the answer to that question is yes and no....
