By the Taylor and Francis Group People with an obsessive urge to constantly check the news are more likely to suffer from stress, anxiety, as well as physical ill health, finds a new study published in the peer-reviewed journal Health Communication.

By Evelyn Blackwell Sadhguru, the yoga master turned social media celebrity with over 8.6 million Instagram followers, says his philosophy is to always feel “blissed out” — adding that adopting this mindset might change your feelings about needing a luxurious lifestyle. “If you misunderstand your lifestyle for life you will always suffer because someone else...
By Lee Harrison I’ve spoken with lots of potential expats who are trying to choose between Cuenca, Ecuador, and Medellín, Colombia, even though these two cities are actually very different in key ways.
