The Startup World’s Big Miss by Jonathan Fields
Over the last 5 years, we’ve seen the release of a stream of books like Eric Ries’ The Lean Startup that do a wonderful job of systematizing a near-maniacal focus on the customer.

The Only Test You Need To Evaluate Your Life by Stephen Guise
If I take a picture of a flying bird, wait 5 minutes, and take another picture of the bird, what’s going to happen? I’m probably not going to get the second picture because the bird will have moved on 4 minutes and 45 seconds ago. This bird is moving. Almost everything else is […]

What Is Lucid Dreaming? by Jamie Alexander
A lucid dream basically means you are aware you are dreaming. It’s not some mad new-age phenomenon. Everyone dreams every night.

What Is Self Image and Self Esteem? by Irene Conlan
What is Self Image? Your self-image is the way you see yourself in your mind. These are the internal pictures, sounds and feelings of ourselves that we recognise as ‘us’.
