We all have set routines in life, especially during the week, that may involve some variation of the following: Wake up, exercise, tea or coffee break(s), work, lunch, chat with friends, walk the dog, dinner, TV, read, sleep. The cycle then repeats all over again with similar events. From a macro perspective, quite a simple and non-remarkable daily […]

The statistics seem contradictory, a total paradox. After all, these are the very best of times, right? We are living longer and modern medicine is discovering the cure for so many diseases; we surround ourselves with every imaginable toy in our supersized homes; we can Google any topic, Skype anyone anywhere for free or stream […]
