Super
Charge Your Energy With Power Naps
One of the most frequent questions I'm asked is: “Are
naps good or bad for you?” Yes, naps are very good for
you -- but only IF you understand how the sleep system works,
and if you know how to nap PROPERLY. It's important to understand
your circadian rhythm and light exposure -- and how they control
your physical and mental energy. Few people realize that they're
not just “dead to the world” when they're sleeping.
Sleep is actually a very complex state responsible for healing
and energizing our bodies.

Futurists
Pick Top Challenges of the Next 50 Years
Reversing the effects of ageing, reprogramming genes to
prevent diseases and producing clean energy are some of the
biggest challenges for the next 50 years, according to a group
of leading experts. The pace of advances in technology means
the rate of progress will be 30 times faster in the next half
century, futurologists believe - and that opens up the prospect
of innovation in many fields.
Better understanding of our genes could lead to more personalised
medicines and longer, healthier lives; communication technology
should get faster and cheaper; and we will hopefully find more

How
to Profit from Non-Conformity
There is some evidence that more creativity results in more
of what many would call luck. No real surprise here - more creative
and new ideas obviously means more opportunities for good or
"lucky" ideas to come about. But how do you become
more creative? There are actually many techniques for generating
more creative ideas. Books on creative problem solving, for
example, are full of these techniques. You can use them in a
given situation for immediate results, or train yourself to
use them habitually for a permanently more creative mind. However,
there is one important aspect of creativity that this lesson
addresses. It is the tendency we have to conform, and how this
stifles our creativity. Learn when and how to step outside the
lines, and you will be far more creative, and therefore potentially
luckier in life.
