Never mind growing up; it's time we grew down. There are some 400 million people worldwide whose creativity, curiosity and determination put the rest of us to shame. They are experts in their field but have no experience to speak of. Once, you were one of them, too. They are toddlers - and they hold the key to unlocking our potential as adults, at work and in life. In Little Wins, Ella's Kitchen founder Paul Lindley reveals the nine characteristics and behaviours that we can all learn from recalling our toddler selves.

The gift of sight is not one to be taken for granted, and the care for it shouldn't be taken so lightly. Our eyesight is our most invaluable, dependable tool we use every day, working for us every second we are awake.

In today's environment, where making one bad decision can literally ruin your life, it is important to learn critical thinking and decision making skills. If you are businessman, executive, student or a parent, challenging decision or choices come up on a regular basis and the decisions and actions we take affect not only you but also the people you are responsible for and those closest to you. The best way to be sure that you make good decisions is to be prepared with predictable strategies that you can call on when you are faced with a problem.

Mental models are the mind’s framework to help us make sense of the world, solve problems, and make informed decisions. They are built with your education, past experiences, and habits of thought you create over time. But did you know your mental models can go wrong? And even be harmful to your life? Harmful models come from biases or ill-formed beliefs, which can cause you to have low self-esteem, depression, and poor relationships.

But one thing could wreck their carefully planned futures: a genetic test for Huntington's, a rare degenerative disease that slowly steals control of the body and mind.

In 1992, when Henry Grunwald missed a glass into which he was pouring water, he assumed that he needed new eyeglasses, not that the incident was a harbinger of darker times. But, in fact, Grunwald was entering the early stages of macular degeneration - a gradual loss of sight that affects almost 15 million Americans yet remains poorly understood and is, so far, incurable. Now, in Twilight, Grunwald chronicles his experience of disability. This is a story not merely about seeing but about living; not merely about losing sight but about gaining insight. It is a remarkable meditation.

It is important to approach this topic of Ritalin with caution. Ritalin is not a cure-all solution for every challenge students, parents, and teachers face. Its impact on society must be analyzed through a multifaceted lens. One concern is the potential for misuse and abuse. As students, parents, and educators become increasingly reliant on Ritalin, there is a risk of overmedication and the normalization of drug dependence.

Research shows that people often wildly misunderstand the state of the world, regardless of age, sex, or education. And though the internet brings us unprecedented access to information, there's little evidence we're any better informed because of it. We may blame cognitive bias or fake news, but neither tells the complete story. Bobby Duffy draws on his research into public perception, offering a sweeping account of the stubborn problem of human delusion: how society breeds it, why it will never go away, and what our misperceptions say about what we really believe.

Everything was fine before. When Eve and Lidia could hide their physical differences inside goofy Burger Hut costumes. When Lidia shook Eve up and Eve made Lidia laugh. When Lidia was there. Everything is different now. Cut open . . . rearranged . . . stapled shut, Eve is left alone to recover in a world of pain and a body she no longer recognizes. Her only companions being a bottle of Roxanol and an infuriating (but cute) neighbor, Eve strikes up a relationship—and makes a pact—with the devil.

You will never come across a business person who wishes for his or her business to end when he or she leaves. If an organization chooses not to embrace change, it will have no customers because people only buy things that meet their needs. For this reason, an organization needs to ensure that it stays ready for what is to come. The way to do this is to continually sharpen own tools by creating a learning environment so that own employees learn all business and change-related tricks to help them maneuver the business world.
