If you are active or work out like I do, you know how important it is to get high quality natural protein in your diet, not only to maintain your muscle but to build more muscle. Supplements are fine but I tend to believe that our bodies know how to deal with natural proteins better than manmade.

One of the most sought-after qualities in most people is having a high level of Self Confidence? Why is that? The simple answer is that the world responds differently to confident people and leads to much higher levels of success.

In modern times we have a similar group that the world responds to in a different way.

You are smarter than you think. In fact, your subconscious holds the same mental powers as some of the greatest minds in history. Mind development pioneer Dr. Win Wenger noticed a clear pattern. He found that geniuses are little more than ordinary people who have stumbled upon some knack or technique for widening their channels of attention. New research suggests that the superior achievements of famous thinkers may have been more the result of mental conditioning than genetic superiority. Now, with The Einstein Factor, you can learn to condition your mind in the same way.

Harvard professor Amy Edmondson and journalist Susan Salter Reynolds explore how to bring into being systems that transform human experience and make the world more livable and sustainable.
