How to Figure Stuff Out. 1. Always reason from perfection and work your way backward from there. Suggest to yourself: "Everything in my life is perfect. It's exactly the way I, in my higher consciousness, planned for it to be. " (do this no matter how ridiculous it feels!) 2. Begin believing that there are *no* accidents in this world. Tell yourself that every detail of your life, from the day you took your first breath until the moment you read this list, has been planned right down to the last detail.
Ten Lies You’ll Hear Before Pursuing Your Dream. (photo: salty_soul) Unfortunately, just before you take your first step on the righteous journey to pursue your dreams, people around you, even the ones who deeply care for you, will give you awful advice. It’s not because they have evil intentions. It’s because they don’t understand the big picture—what your dreams, passions, and life goals mean to you. They don’t understand that, to you, the reward is worth the risk. So they try to protect you by shielding you from the possibility of failure, which, in effect, also shields you from the possibility of making your dreams a reality. As our friend Steve Jobs says: “Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life.

Even if you could afford that kind of a wardrobe (most can’t), there’s no place to wear it – it’s far too formal for socializing with 20-somethings, and very few men are walking out of college and straight into high-powered financial or legal offices.
So much of the advice on how to dress well as a man isn’t all that useful for high school and college students, or even for post-grad students and working 20-somethings. A good suit is useful to own, but not something you’re going to be wearing when you go out with friends. So what to wear instead? The trick is diversifying – taking the same casual level of dress that most young men wear, and adding new looks to it to stay sharp without looking stuffy. The Varied Wardrobe: A Young Man’s Friend Here are a few basic staples of most young men’s wardrobes, and some alternatives to them that can be worn stylishly but casually: 20 Things to Stop Doing to Others.

The end of 2010 fast approaches, and I'm thrilled to have been asked by the editors of Psychology Today to write about the Top 10 psychology studies of the year. I've focused on studies that I personally feel stand out, not only as examples of great science, but even more importantly, as examples of how the science of psychology can improve our lives.
