NowSecure can assess Android apps for privacy and security measures NowSecure can assess Android apps for privacy and security measures Data Safety is a new section in Play Store app listings. Announced last year, Google mandated it for all apps this month.

Peter Bregman, the article’s author and a strategic advisor to CEOs, compares his own multitasking pitfalls to the research around how multitasking impacts our ability to process information. And while we might think we’re being productive by accomplishing tasks simultaneously, the research seems to show that we’re actually just flitting from task to task. “Doing several things at once is a trick we play on ourselves, thinking we’re getting more done....

Each day, most of us think nothing about the fact that we wake up and don’t make a move until the sunlight or a light turned on in our room is there to guide us.

While we all know that dogs have a better sense of smell than we do, the same is true for most species on the planet, according to biologists such as E....

Now, two new research studies paint a different picture, suggesting that mindfulness may also help improve the well-being of others in our lives—in particular, our children—if we truly practice it. In one study, researchers at the University of Vermont surveyed over 600 parents of children ages 3-17 to see how mindfulness related to their children’s well-being.

Humans aren’t alone in having some ability to consider the future, a process that scientists call “prospection.” After all, your dog gets excited when they see you holding a leash because they anticipate a walk is imminent; your cat may show similar excitement at the sound of a can being opened. There’s even evidence that some animals—like bonobos and ravens—can choose and save tools that they plan to use in the future....
