Being too thin can be deadlier than being overweight, Danish study reveals

It is possible to be "fat but fit," new research being presented at the annual meeting of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) in Vienna, Austria (September 15-19) suggests. The study of tens of thousands of people in Denmark found that those with a BMI in the overweight category - and even some of those living with obesity - were no more likely to die during the five years of follow-up than those with a BMI of 22.5-<25.0 kg/m 2, which is at the top end of the normal weight range.

Happiness Is the Wrong Objective in Life

Becoming rich also seems to be quite easy, but not quite as achievable as being happy. One has to be very gullible to really believe it possible to earn lots of money by working from home a couple of hours a day, as some promise, or even become a millionaire by simply ridding oneself of the constraints of self-doubt, as others claim.

What brain surgery taught me about the fragile gift of consciousness

We sat in our living room, on the off-white tweed couch. I ran my fingers along the seam, slowly, as if trying to memorize its texture. In that quiet room, dimly lit and strangely alive, I felt the shape of time itself. It wasn't abstract. It wasn't a number on a screen or the sweep of a clock's hand. It felt real - like a second skin, like air thickening into water. I wasn't counting the hours anymore; I was living inside them.
