You Must Relax - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: This is a tense world, as many of us well know. We talk about'tension' and we read about it. It is discussed in newspaperarticles, in magazines and in books. Evidently, there is growingpopular realisation of something excessive in our way of livingwhich can lead to disorder and malady. There is search for aremedy. Today doctors tell us to 'relax'.This was not always so. When the famous physician whoattended President Wilson wrote a book about rest, the word'relaxation' did not even appear in the index. People then did notdiscuss tension. The characters in films written in that epoch didnot tell each other to 'relax' as they do nowadays, for the wordhad not yet sunk into the popular mores. I know, because tenyears previously I had begun to develop the principles and thescientific study of tension and relaxation as we now know them.I felt the burden of responsibility deeply. On the one handI must test each advance in the field objectively, avoiding anyenthusiasm which could cloud my judgement. Yet in my coldanalysis as a scientist, I must not close my eyes to any lightwhich could guide mankind.

$700 Billion Bailout: The Emergency Economic Stabilization Act and What It Means to You, Your Money, Your Mortgage and Your Taxes - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: The book is an analysis of the controversial Emergency Economic Stabilization Act and explains in easy to understand language what the bailout bill means for individuals. $700 Billion Bailout answers questions such as:What does the bill say, exactly?Who is making decisions about how the $700 billion will be spent, and what does it mean now that the government is investing directly in our banks?Who’s footing the bill?What is the impact on homeowners, businesses, retirement, and taxes?Where do I put my money in the meantime?Veteran reporter Paul Muolo shows both the challenges and opportunities of the credit crisis and proposed bailout, including its impact on:Mortgages: While rates may be lower, there will be more fees imposed on mortgages. Lenders will be far more cautious in lending, and people who cannot meet their mortgages are likely to lose these homes. This may create a “contrarian” plays in foreclosures and vacation homes..Stocks and Other Investments: Is now the time to get into the stock market or is it safer to stick with CDs, bonds, and gold?Taxes: With the tax breaks, there will be less tax revenue leading to a huge shortfall to the government over the next few years.He will offer insight into these areas and many others, including how the structure of the bailout bill allows for unprecedented authority that has altered the financial landscape, perhaps permanently. Will the plan work, and how we can prevent this from happening again remains to be seen, but with $700 Billion Bailout Paul Muolo gives us a critical tool for deciphering perhaps the most sweeping piece of legislation since the Patriot Act.

Selfish Reasons to Have More Kids: Why Being a Great Parent is Less Work and More Fun Than You Think - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: DURING MY LIFETIME, THE AMERICAN FAMILY HAS DRASTICALLY downsized. Women in their forties are about twice as likely to haveone child—or none—as they were thirty years ago. Big families have all but disappeared. In 1976, 20 percent of women in their early fortieshad five or more kids; by 2006, less than 4 percent did.If you ask people to explain why we don’t have as many kids as we used to, the answers are all over the place. “People can’t afford bigfamilies anymore,” “Women have real careers now,” “We don’t need kids to help out with farm work,” “Women want to live like men,”“Americans have lost faith in God.” In Athens, the Greeks blame air pollution.If you make the question personal, however, the answers are very much alike. When asked, “Why don’t you have as many kids as weused to?” both men and women respond with groans. As best I can tell, the English translation of these groans is “Kids are a lot of work,” ormaybe “Imagine all the dirty diapers and sleepless nights,” or perhaps “Are you trying to kill me?”To be brutally honest, we’re reluctant to have more children because we think that the pain outweighs the gain. When people compare thegrief that another child would give them to the joy that the child would bring, they conclude that it’s just not worth it. As Bill Cosby put it, “Thereason we have five children is because we do not want six.”You could easily call this a very selfish outlook. How can you focus exclusively on whether another child would make you happier? Whatabout the child? Unless your baby is truly unlucky, he will almost certainly be happy to be alive. Aren’t you? This is your child we’re talkingabout. If you have to make yourself a little less happy in order to give a son or daughter the gift of life, shouldn’t you?The question is serious, but I’m going to dodge it. While I accept the natalist view that more births should be encouraged because theymake the world a better place, asking others to sacrifice their happiness for the good of the world seems futile. Preaching againstselfishness is usually about as productive as nagging a brick wall. When people weigh the costs and benefits of having another child, I’m notgoing to call them sinners for using a scale.The claim of this book, rather, is that current and prospective parents have accidentally tipped their scales against fertility. We may feelsure that the pursuit of happiness and kids (or at least more kids) are incompatible, but it is in the average person’s enlightened self-interestto have more kids. That’s right—people are not having enough children for their own good. Prospective parents need to take another lookbefore they decide not to leap. Current parents need to take another look before they decide not to leap again.My theory is not one-size-fits-all. The claim is not that everyone should have lots of kids, but that the average person should have morekids. More than what? More than they were otherwise planning to have. If you live in a tiny urban apartment and love fancy foreign vacations,this might mean one kid instead of zero. If you live in a suburban McMansion and love theme parks, this might mean five kids instead ofthree. I’m here to provide information, not run your life.There are many selfish reasons to have more kids, but there are four big reasons to put on the table right away:First, parents can sharply improve their lives without hurting their kids. Nature, not nurture, explains most family resemblance, soparents can safely cut themselves a lot of additional slack.Second, parents are much more worried than they ought to be. Despite the horror stories in the media, kids are much safertoday than they were in the “Idyllic Fifties.”Third, many of the benefits of children come later in life. Kids have high start-up costs, but wise parents weigh their initial sleepdeprivation against a lifetime of rewards—including future grandchildren.Last, self-interest and altruism point in the same direction. Parents who have another child make the world a better place, soyou can walk the path of enlightened selfishness with a clear conscience.
