Looks like the movie Lovers On a Bridge may have been onto something. The psychology of love is a complex but powerful thing - it's the one subject we will probably never fully understand, but never stop endeavouring to do so. It's no surprise that countless scientific studies and experiments seek to decipher the language of love and understand the laws of attraction. Psychologists have found that walking on shaky bridge with someone is actually proven to increase sexual attraction between you. The study, conducted by Art Aron and Donald Dutton in 1974, showed that the reason we are more attracted >>>

By Chris DieterichCNBC cornered Ray Dalio, founder of Bridgewater Associates, the world’s largest hedge fund at the Davos confab on Tuesday, was markets were in the process of melting down. What’s he think of the current conditions? Well, he said that the slide in global markets will be a “negative for the economy” that will mean that the Federal Reserve “should remain flexible, it shouldn’t be so wedded to a path.” Moreover, Dalio said he believes that the Fed is more likely to ease monetary policy sooner than it tightens.

After a breakup, it can be healthy for people to reflect on what they’ve learned from the past relationship and what they want to improve in the next one. A healthy behavior can become an unhealthy one, though, when people take it too far and begin to question their own basic worth.  But the loss of a partner can make it easy to fall into the self-deprecation trap.

It’s a familiar scene; people turn 50 years old, and suddenly there’s a sports car in the driveway, amongst other splurges. Though many might attribute this sudden change in behavior as “the midlife crisis,” several University of Alberta researchers disagree. A team of researchers from several universities headed by Department of Psychology professor Nancy Galambos authored a study on the change in net happiness from late adolescence to early adulthood. Concluding that happiness actually increases consistently across this period, Galambos and her team posit that the midlife crisis >>>

Every product has a narrative. Someone harvested its fibers or manufactured it in a factory. Someone created the design. Someone calculated its value, demand and supply. Someone carried it. Someone distributed it. Someday it may be used by someone else. Someday it could be fated for a landfill. A world in a product.

In a globalized economy, the ethical dilemmas that accompany foreign sourcing and environmental resources continue to persist. Yet despite the tools of social >>>
