There's something about the idea of being able to survive in the wilderness that's thrilling. We glorify it with TV shows like "Survivor" and "Man vs. Wild." 

But survival in the harsh conditions of nature is no simple affair, and most lessons can't be learned from television. In fact, some of the "survival advice" that we've picked up over the years is totally wrong, often dangerously so.

That's because the first of the 108 Boeing 737 MAX 8 airliners Norwegian Air ordered to operate those flights won't be ready for delivery until 2017. Читать дальше...

Twenty years ago, on the streets of Las Vegas, groundbreaking rapper Tupac Shakur was gunned down as he drove away from a Mike Tyson boxing match. The crime remains unsolved. Appropriately enough, the upcoming movie detailing Tupac's troubled career, and his untimely death, dropped its first trailer and it is incendiary.

The science of persuasion — how other people get you to do what they want — can sound simple.

Case in point: If you've got a likable salesperson, you're more likely to buy their product. If that salesperson tells you there's only one of that product left, you're even more likely to wind up purchasing it.

Yet if these are really such duh ideas, why can't we apply them in our daily lives? As in, why can't we resist the nice salesperson's pitch, because... Читать дальше...

There are a lot of misconceptions regarding introverts.

Some people look at those they consider introverted and toss out all kinds of hyperbole, such as, "They are so shy they would not be able to deliver a speech in a public," or "She is so shy and introverted she does not like people all."

After all, introverts have been responsible for some of the greatest achievements in the history of mankind... Читать дальше...

Deb Hatcher knows wine like she knows the alphabet.

For over 14 years, she and a few friends have run Oregon's largest winery, A to Z Wineworks.

According to Hatcher, blended wines make up... Читать дальше...

In 2014, Container Store CEO Kip Tindell said one of the most important things a leader can have is high emotional intelligence.

"Emotional intelligence is the key to being really successful," he told Business Insider.
