 It seems to me that when women got liberated they just ended up with more to do. Most of us start out being enthusiastic and driven in our careers. We try to be super moms with super kids, end up with super mortgages along with super car and credit card payments. A lot of us throw […]

Yes! Flowers definitely increase problem-solving capacity in the workplace. It sounds simple, but it’s really a clear correlation.
Problem-solving requires rote memory of how to solve a particular problem, or, if the problem is new, or is occurring in a new form, thinking outside the box. This thinking outside the box is also known as […]

Depending on the student and the family, you may see a myriad of behaviors from college students on winter break:
* Hibernating bear. Students who are exhausted from cramming for exams and/or partying, may want to come home to sleep and rejuvenate. They want to be taken care of and see home as the place […]

I received a question the other day about a study being conducted with college and university counselors regarding homesickness in students. Specifically, any potential ways to prevent and treat homesickness, and whether or not homesickness negatively impact a student’s studies.

And before I offer the answer to your question, I’d like to first sincerely thank you, and your […]

The year of contradictions!
Who says the N word and gets away with it? Michael Richards does not get away with it. Chris Rock does get away with it.
Mel Gibson blames war on the Jews and does not get away with it. Orthodox Jews in Israel throw rocks at less observant Jews and do get […]

My interest in the Anna Nicole Smith story is rapidly decaying. I’ll just let that one sit.
Ridiculous does not begin to cover it. Her death, like her life, is a circus–maudlin and just plain gross. Once again, no talent, wacked-out personas take center stage. Once again, why do we participate? We’re perpetuating the crass and […]

Keep your friends close — your enemies closer is an old adage attributed to Machiavelli, that rings true in every case I’ve ever seen. And when it comes to competition, this rule could not be better applied.

We all know that there are inborn differences between men and women because scientists have studied and documented the myriad differences. What women seem to forget, when it comes to relationships, is just how different men and women are.Below, an excerpt from my book, Think & Date Like A Man, written for women, explaining some of […]
