More on critical thinking: what's wrong with our brains
Well, there ' s not necessarily anything wrong with your gray matter, that ' s an evaluative judgment.

Neither are our memories.People have written whole books about the myriad ways in which we fool ourselves. In my recent series on clini...

10+1 Commandments For Companies Developing Wearable Health Trackers
Throughout the last couple of years, I have tested and used about 150 devices and gadgets that measure health parameters or vital signs. From the very first Fitbit to A.I.-driven portable ultrasounds, the evolution is real, and I am delighted to have had the opportunity to watch it first-hand. I also use a dozen health trackers to live healthily on a daily basis. Even before the wearable revolution started to unfold – just as I described in The Guide to the Future of Medicine -, I used data in an Excel spreadsheet to know more about my health and boost my motivation. Nowadays, it is unimaginable for me to go out...

How to Shift Into a New Reality Faster
Last night I had a vivid dream where Rachelle and I were students in a spirituality seminar. The theme was about embodying your higher self. We were the only two people who showed up for it, waiting for the instructor to arrive. I realized that I showed up in my pajamas, and I thought to myself, Well that makes sense because my higher self surely likes pajamas. I don’t recall any part of the dream where I deliberately dressed that way, and my clothing morphed into a different outfit later in the dream, but that’s the nature of dreams. In a dream the flow of events can be very fluid and flexible. Physical rea...
