Let's dive in.
The inimitable Morgan Housel offers some good advice - go for a walk when you get stuck on an issue. Great way to get unstuck.
It's amazing how the US seems to have brushed off the 2008 financial crisis, while Europe (especially the south) got badly affected.
If HEATH LEDGER can get this reaction when he was announced as the choice for playing the Joker in The Dark Knight... I mean who are we to complain about getting criticised... (check out the thread btw - great trivia about the iconic movie).

Cricinfo has a new writing star, Vithushan Ehantharajah. Along with Sid Monga and Karthik Krishnaswamy, this is one writer I try not to miss.
The click-bait title notwithstanding, this is a useful conversation for most folks. While the prof mostly reiterates accepted advice on the benefits of regular exercise, he also busts several (micro)myths about exercise and sleep.
What makes the conversation interesting is that his recommendations are based on his research into the lives of present-day hunter-gatherers and how they live their lives (they walk a lot!).
A takeaway for me was to not shun the gym - just doing walking and cycling isn't enough. The professor talks about the importance of weight training - muscles are an expensive resource and if you don't use it, you will lose it.
Another important takeaway: if, due to any reason, you aren't able to exercise now, don't beat yourself up for it. Show yourself compassion.
