While forcing a person to act a certain way is not a bright idea, there are steps you can take to improve communication and maintain a healthy relationship. Trust me, I know the ins and outs of bipolar disorder. I was diagnosed with this crippling mental illness around the same time I decided to dedicate the rest of my life to the field of clinical psychology. Below I compiled three ways that can help stabilize your relationship with someone you love who’s suffering from bipolar disorder....

Black Holes (Infographic)

I read Bob Proctors landmark book some years ago, and I continue to see the message it contained proclaimed over and again by successful people (Sam Kalenuik, Grant Sylvester and many others). When I saw that the book was made available in December as a free PDF download at Insight of the Day I felt it was time to do a review. The book is by and large a road map designed to take you from where you are financially to where you would like to be....

Some may not reach goals they aspire to, yet this does not fall in the ‘boxed’ definition of failure. It is about being brave enough to counter the challenge. Women tend to focus on positions and careers that they know they will excel in, which limits their vision. That is an avoidance of risk or failure. Smile, play safe and get the straight As. Stay closeted in a safely defined zone....

There are many questions surrounding the correlation between money and happiness. To those who don’t have money, it seems like the ultimate tool for joy, excitement, and, of course, happiness. However, there are those with money who have no time to spend and enjoy their money, and some for whom it brings more problems and dishonest people into their lives. Fortunately, infographic extraordinaires at Happify have created a graphic which shows the impacts money and happiness have on one another....

Can music act as a performance enhancing drug?

Honesty, we say, is the best policy. And yet, it’s hardly news to anyone that in much of our lives, dishonesty rules. Salespeople lie about the benefits of one product over another, or about how useful those “extended service plans” really are. Partners lie about whether they liked dinner, or about what they did last night after work. Employees lie about the reason a project is overdue, or about how much money is in the register....

Damaged your car? How much will it cost to get it fixed? The team at WhoCanFixMyCar, the car repair and maintenance comparison site, have dug into the detail to find out just how much car repair and maintenance costs across the UK – as well as some interesting stuff about the habits of the UK motorist. The firm took a bucket of common car repairs – servicing, ‘under-the-bonnet’ work and brake and exhaust repairs – and divided the UK into regions and cities to get a full picture of the cost of car repair all over the country....

In March 2015, Price brought in a new pay policy. According to the New York Times, Price’s goal was to “raise the salary of every single person at the company to $70,000.” Even more unusual is the way that Price is funding the pay increase: he cut his pay to $70,000 from nearly $1 million a year. Price was inspired to implement the policy after learning about the emotional well-being and benefits of earning at least $70,000....

Still you keep going. Until you quickly realize that although your feet are moving, you are not. It’s as if everything and everyone else exists in a place where you cannot follow. And you’re stuck watching them like a reel of film. Just when time feels like it moved again, you fall. Hard, cold, exhausted. Do you usually wish that you could get up and leave everything behind? Well, not literally, of course....

1. Failing to Use a Grid When You Design a Page Yes, grids can be seen as “confining” at times, but without one, the page looks “off” to the visitor who may not appreciate artistic asymmetry. The vast majority of users need a visual experience that makes sense to them vertically and horizontally – it makes them feel like the company is organized and structured. Unstructured design is best left for framing and mounting on a wall....

Location When trying to find a suitable medical alert device, it is important to bear in mind where you will be residing and whether you still leave the home or not. Are you living in your own home? Are you fixed in one address, or do you move around? Are you homebound? This is a great starting point when asking questions, as the answer will greatly narrow down the suitable medical alert systems....

1. Use Hairspray To Smoothen Hair If you think hairspray should be applied after you have tied your hair into a ponytail then you’d be wrong. The right way is to spritz your hairspray onto a boar-bristle or a nylon hairbrush and use it to sweep your hair back into a ponytail. This way, frizzy curls and flyaways will lie flat without using too much hairspray that will weigh down the strands....

As part of my role as Lifehack’s manager, I am responsible for moderating the comments queue. Lifehack’s back-end has a “Pending” queue for comments that our spam-catching software thinks might be spam, a “Spam” queue for comments labeled “spam” either by the software or by me, and another queue for comments that have been approved, again either by the software or by me. As a general rule, I check that “Pending” queue several times a day, the “Approved” queue every day or so, and the “Spam” queue every week or so....
