I have a personal experience where booking.com’s nudging caused me to reconsider my trip. I was trying to find something suitable to stay in Paris. Maybe it was the exaggeration of booking.com or maybe there was some truth, but at some poin

I do exactly this and have been doing for some time. It gets me through those demanding days where I need to show results. My “magic” nap time is 13 minutes.

It could also be possible, that you haven’t discovered life in the way that the author refers to. I’m not judging. What I am saying, there are possibly perspectives on life which you haven’t had the privilege of experiencing, which could ma

I wonder why not more people are seeing it from this angle. My tech company is in southern africa, and I struggle to find the talent to fit my customers / the market’s needs. We can’t compete with salaries in the US or western countrie

Like everything in life, striking the right balance makes the whole difference. Exactly how the balance is weighted is different for varying situations. Your unique “formula” is your secret to success.

This way of managing the balance between the needs of wildlife and the wants of humans, stands out in a world where normally the animals (and plants) have to give way to fulfil the desires and safety needs of humans. May it remain so.

The heading is definitely “clickbait-ey” but the quality of the content was worth it. I probably would have missed the article without the headline. And I am already applying the insights gained.

Loneliness in the context of Western society is a result of the influence of American culture. It puts systems, politics and economic success far above the integrity of the human individual.
