Because if I start to fall for him, if I start to rely on him, it'll hurt even worse when he inevitably decides to dump me just like everybody else does.

We’ve been looking at perfectionism all wrong. As psychotherapist and former on-site therapist at Google Katherine Morgan Schafler argues in The Perfectionist's Guide to Losing Control, you don’t have to stop being a perfectionist to be healthy. For women who are sick of being given the generic advice to “find balance,” a new approach has arrived.

We all wish we had more control. When our relationships are strained, when our bodies refuse to cooperate, when the future is uncertain, control promises security and peace. If only I were in charge, we dream. And this illusion seems more attainable than ever. Technology, science, medicine, and the internet all promise us ever-increasing mastery over our world. The problem is, control is a "devil's deal." The more we seek it, the more it betrays us. In place of predictability, it gives us anxiety. In place of certainty, it creates more complexity.

Das redet sich die erfolgreiche Personalchefin Heather Moore immer wieder ein. Der charismatische Cole McAllister passt mit seinem ungezwungenen Lebensstil nicht in ihre geordnete Welt, in der alles seinen festen Platz hat und einem strikten Ablauf folgt.

As a flight director in NASA's Mission Control, Kranz witnessed firsthand the making of history.

He endured the disastrous first years when rockets blew up and the United States seemed to fall further behind the Soviet Union in the space race.

The inscription on the Oracle of Delphi says: 'Nothing in excess.' C.S. Lewis described temperance as going to the 'right length but no further.' Easy to say, hard to practice—and if it was tough in 300 BCE, or in the 1940s, it feels all but impossible today. Yet it's the most empowering and important virtue any of us can learn. Drawing on ancient Stoic wisdom and examples across history and around the world, Ryan Holiday shows why self-control is so vital, and how to cultivate it in our own lives.

In Zimmer 217 ist etwas aufgewacht. Etwas Böses. Brady Hartsfield, verantwortlich für das Mercedes-Killer-Massaker, liegt seit fünf Jahren in einer Klinik für Neurotraumatologie im Wachkoma.

Things I expect after a one-night-stand: breakfast, small talk, maybe even another O before the awkward walk of shame in last night's clothes. I don't expect to open the door to his house and find a kid surrounded by all his earthly possessions. Fired from my job, homeless, and the perpetual screw-up of my family... How can I even think about caring for someone else's child when I'm incapable of looking after myself?

Marc's Safe Zone, and his network of interconnected Safe Zones, has been upgraded to an Industrial Technology level.

Now railways, lighter than air travel, primitive firearms, and more are available, once the requirements for their tech chains are satisfied.

For a century, the Panama Canal has served as the path between the seas. Control of this vital waterway is the difference between free trade and chaos in world markets. So when Panamanian President Rafael Botero asks for a show of support against the socialist opposition, his old friend President Jack Ryan can’t turn down an invitation to visit the country, but what seems like an ordinary opportunity to preach the values of democracy quickly turns into a nightmare when a full-blown coup d’état erupts.

Die Welt ist nur ein Spiel - das Überleben der Menschheit der Preis. Ein DAEMON hat die digitale Welt erobert, und wer das Internet beherrscht, beherrscht auch den Planeten. Die Menschen, die sich ihm unterordnen, erleben die Realität wie ein Computerspiel und werden mit ungeheuren Kräften ausgestattet. So gewinnt der DAEMON nach und nach immer mehr Macht jenseits der Datenströme. Und staunend erkennt die Menschheit: Vielleicht ist das die Rettung der Zivilisation.

In elegant and accessible prose, and with abundant use of anecdotes and case-studies, she examines the ethical problems involved in carrying out the required experiments on humans, the limitations of animal models, and the frightening implications of such research.

Instead we learn the skills to harness our unique gifts productively.
