For thought: how to subordinate time?
"Distorted time. Features of the perception of time ", Claudia Hamond
(M.: Livebook, 2013)
Time is the only UFO with which we have to face actually. Unidentified and unknown, flying and flying, this object is time - incredibly subjective. Everyone perceives time in his own way, right? And the individual perception of time affects our life. About how to settle this horse, writes Claudia Hammond.
If a person is able to ask how much a minute lasts, it lasts: for him a minute lasts longer than for others. Time Hells slows down if we are afraid or miss something. When we do not have to do, the day stretches endlessly. The day is bored until the evening, if you have nothing to do, says the Russian proverb.
"The psychologist and philosopher William James suggested that the feeling of boredom arises when" we suddenly notice the time stroke. " As a proof, he suggested the subject to close his eyes, and the assistant Jems must report when the minute expires. Do your experience yourself - you will have a feeling that it was not a minute, but a whole eternity. A minute will seem even longer if she was preceded by another filled with music or speech. Everything is explained by the same attention and why for people who are rejected by others, time slows down. The rejected person focuses on himself and its shortcomings, so time is stretched. "
How to change your relationship with time - in order to change your life? Specific recipes will be for themselves for themselves, but first it is necessary to understand yourself and their relationship with time. For example, how do you feel: the future is moving towards you or you - to the future? "The day exam is getting closer, or is it approaching the day of the exam?" If we are looking forward to events, we are working towards him, and if we are afraid of it - it is inexorably coming to us. New research, writes Claudia Hammond, speaks about the reverse strength of this law. To stop afraid of the impending exam, "try to imagine that they took the situation in their own hands and themselves are strongly moving towards the goal. If, of course, you are under force. "
Time is elastic - well, just like tights. It is directly related to memory - we close and remove the events almost arbitrarily mistaken. Answering the question "With what friends in the last two months you have met," you will probably call those who have seen half a year ago - and it seemed to you, quite recently.
"However, the situation is easily corrected. You only need to change the wording of the question, setting the specific temporary 2 milestones. That is, instead of "how many times in the past year did you visit the doctor?" You need to ask: "How many times have you visited the doctor?" Temporary milestone - in this case, the new year - serves as a reliable binding, helping to determine which events have occurred before time, what - after ".
Body: Bizensen Diet
"Now I eat everything I want! David Yana's nutrition system, "David Yang
(M.: Alpina Publisher, 2013)
David Yang is a person who is literally everyone. At least, everyone who at least once in his life enjoyed Yandex. Dictionary or logged in the FAQ cafe. The founder of the largest system of studying Abbyy Lingvo languages and several popular cafes, a candidate of physico-mathematical sciences and the Government Prize winner in the field of science and technology, David Yang, as it turned out, also an adherent of healthy eating.
However, the words "healthy nutrition" brings longing for everyone - both on those who are preserved on natural products and on fans of semi-finished products and "all chemistry." David Yang in his book "Now I eat everything I want!" Offers a different look at things. The main thing is to love what you eat, otherwise nothing will work. Love what is useful, and hate what is harmful.
To start, Yang talks about four "dummy friends" of a person: sugar, salt, bread and fat. As it turns out, salt per day we eat 1-2 teaspoons with horseback, that is, many times more than the body required. And most is not even from satisfying dishes, but from ready-made products purchased in the store. And those 2 grams of salts, which are really needed to us for development and flowering, are initially contained in fish and meat. That is, you can not squeeze food at all, says an entrepreneur.
David Yang "Grims Tooth" also on sugar and harmful fats. She said that in recent years she did not eat a piece of cake - all the cakes seem to him "terribly fat!" In a word, no matter how promised by the author, free and wonderful life, and yet it offers to refuse completely from sugar, salt, fats and conventional (not rough grinding) bread. At least these tips for those who want to lose weight. And even for those who want to die not from cancer, but for some other reason.
A terrible distrust of the author ends at the stage of listing of those dishes, which, by its power system, can be. Baked Dorada with greens, eggplants with fresh Krasnodar bow, tkemali with chicken breast, grilled fillet, desserts from dried fruits ... bribes ease of childbearing children to proper food: put a plate next to the child with vegetables for a time viewing his favorite cartoon - and plate After half an hour it will be empty. Infects the author's confidence in his position: it is necessary to love what you do or what you eat, and everything will be simple. And most importantly, it comes to food issues as art. "It is very cool for dinner to pour water into large beautiful wine glasses for Burgundy or Bordeaux! Get a special pleasure! Aesthetic pleasure from watering is very important! "
For the soul: in the rhythm of Kamchatka wind

Imagine: a person is unloaded on a helicopter with an annual stock of products on a small clearing with a wooden hatch, where the smell is already attracted by the smell, the brown bear crashes ...
There, this story was created with "Kamchatsky neighbors" - bears, foxes, wolverines and other amazing beast, the history of observation of the wise laws of nature. Listful book, looking at the pictures, you make a step there, in a completely impossible world. Here frozen on the hind paws, a bear and looks into the lens, describing from horror and surprise.

And at all unprecedented unprecedented, one of the same diary records, through which the rustling of dry herbs, wind voice, smells of autumn: "The last four days was such a wind that you will not leave the hut.
