Surprisingly, the book was published in 1956. After 58 years the book still rings timeless wisdom on how Love is the most important art everyone must learn. Here are some thought-provoking insights that will help you understand how to live Love as an art:...

It is a common misconception that productivity is tantamount to being busy. They are not one and the same. Busyness can happen at times, but it can really mean being over-committed instead. Sometimes, it is unavoidable. Sometimes, life throws us things to do that we did not plan on, nor do we have much of a choice about. The key to balancing these times of increased tasks is to take the time to “do nothing....

Not that this is easy to do. If you have ever walked into an auto-supply store with nothing more than a vague idea of what you need, you might know what it’s like to walk out with a list of information you need to return with, plus a cute little thingy to hang from the rearview mirror. The initial trip is a failure because you haven’t applied even the most basic diagnostic tools at your disposal – your eyes and ears....

And it’s eating at you. Every time this task you’re postponing and postponing crosses your mind, you feel stress and anxiety. But somehow you just take your mind to something else again, and postpone once more. And that’s exactly what procrastination is… The postponement that never ends. It steals your peace, joy and creative energy. Instead of crafting awesome words, works of art, or solutions, you sit with worries, stress, anxiety and a subtle realization that you’re still not the productive, task-accomplishing machine that you hoped to be by now....

Just like most moms here, the main source of angst is my relationship with my kids. Do I spend enough time with them individually? Do we spend enough time together as a family? Am I too hard on them? Do I expect too much? Will they be irrevocably psychologically damaged from when I yelled at them last week for fighting with each other? These are the questions that I do think a lot....

If you need a primer on the rules of the new workplace, Switch and Shift has a great run down on how things are changing, including: No company will hire you full time if they don’t need you full time. Before the recession, most people had full time jobs, even if their skills weren’t required on a full time basis. This is not the case anymore, when so many people are happy just to work part time....

The idea of getting of a potential dating partner to take notice of you, getting your children to behave, having your boss promote you, getting people to help you succeed in whatever you want that all sounds great doesn’t it. Well, let me tell you that it is possible to have people do what you want. I am not talking about any sort of mind control. Back in my Special Forces days, we studied psychological operations....

Apart from repetition and practice, there are several methods you can use to ensure you absorb what you’re learning; the infographic above outlines some of these. Perhaps the most important step that people often overlook when it comes to mastery is application. The brain has a difficult time retaining new information. In order to solidify one’s experience in a specific topic, he or she has to consider applying the new skill on a daily basis....

“Hey whatever happened to, Waitin’ your turn Doing it all by hand, ‘Cause when everything is handed to you It’s all only worth as much as the time you put in It all just seems so good the way we had it Back before everything became, automatic…” Don’t get me wrong – I love the internet. I love my email and my instant messenger. I love having all this information and access right at my fingertips....

Why Install an App at All? Other than being careful, there’s not a lot that you can do to prevent your phone being stolen. What you can do is protect your data and possibly even find your phone. A solid, anti-theft app should allow you to lock down or even erase your personal data (such as banking apps, Facebook passwords, and contacts) and allow you to track the phone as well (just in case you happened to leave it somewhere or so that the police can track it down in some circumstances)....

Birmingham, England artist Joe Butcher (AKA October Jones) had the great idea of hiding inspirational, encouraging motivational post-its inside public transport tray tables throughout the summer and autumn of 2012. I know what you’re thinking: “2012? THAT WAS AGES AGO!” Well true, it has taken a while for Joe’s work to catch on but his doodles are gaining a lot of attention on Reddit at the moment. Each drawing features “Peppy” the cartoon cat and some amazing inspiration that would make even the grumpiest morning commuter smile....

Are you a current or aspiring entrepreneur? Well, if so, you may just need to unlearn what they taught you in school, especially business school. How ironic, yes I know. In case you hadn’t noticed, most schools prepare their students to become employees, not entrepreneurs. Yes, even the business schools with MBA programs. Students are taught to follow the rules, not make mistakes, and that working is a necessity. Simply....

1. Credit Cards Are Overly Convenient Some recent studies show that the convenience might be the biggest factor. When people have to fork up cash, there is a tendency to do much less meaningless spending. But when using a credit card, because you don’t have to deal with the extra middle-man of actual money, or worry about whether or not you can afford it, everything becomes almost too painless. Often leading to little or no consideration before a purchase....

1. People who care about you will remember your birthday without a notification Before, when I had my birthday on display, I would be bombarded with hundreds of messages and emails notifying me that people had posted on my wall. This year, my phone was relatively silent compared to last year. This may seem depressing, but it really wasn’t. People who genuinely cared about me called and we got to talk for hours....
