The Good Life: Crafting an Enriching World for Your Dog
The Good Life: Crafting an Enriching World for Your Dog Image via Pexels Dogs, like people, thrive when their lives are filled with purpose, movement, connection, and novelty. It’s a mistake to think a backyard or a few toys scattered indoors is enough. What makes a dog’s tail wag isn’t just a full belly or a routine walk around the block—it’s engagement, stimulation, and the feeling that their environment holds something interesting....
Why Nobody Asks “Who am I?”
Why Nobody Asks “Who am I?” By Deepak Chopra, MD, FACP, FRCP The most rewarding answers can come from the riskiest questions. A great example is the question, “Who am I?” Modern psychology has made us afraid to look too deeply into this question. If we have dark forces inside us, better not to go looking for them. For practical purposes, everyday life depends on accepting the self that gets up in the morning, eats...
Introducing You to Yourself
By Deepak Chopra, MD, FACP, FRCP If you have ever sat down and seriously asked, “Who am I?” you’ve done something few people ever get around to. To seriously ask the question implies that you don’t already know the answer, and everyone does — or thinks they do. We use the word “I” all the time without finding any mystery to it. ‘I” is the identity that points to you, the individual. ‘I” is the skin-enclosed ego floating somewhere...

Indeed, they are the fastest-growing demographic group of the world’s population, with numbers roughly doubling every ten years since the 1970s. How long humans can live, and what determines a long and healthy life, have been of interest for as long as we know. Plato and Aristotle discussed and wrote about the ageing...
People who are highly creative but don’t realize it yet often display these 10 subtle behaviors
Creativity is an elusive beast. It’s not something you can simply harness at will. It’s more like a wild spirit, showing up in unexpected places and at unexpected times. You may think of yourself as a practical person, someone who prefers logic over imagination. You might even say, “I’m not creative.” But what if you are more creative than you realize?

Strategic Planning: Framing it as a Theory
Like in science, business theories constantly should be challenged. The word theory comes from the Greek word theōria, meaning speculation or contemplation. While we think of theories in the scientific domain, businesses also live in theories (in business parlance, think assumptions, projections, budgets, speculations, and so on). They project what is possible or plausible to happen given expectations about the future. This is no...

For the past three years or so, I have focused my attention on neurodegenerative diseases — mainly Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. As I became more interested in nutrition, I began to focus more on the impact that diet (and other lifestyle factors) have on the brain. Just as the foods you eat influence...
