Skin Deep (opens the original)
Read excerpt
You’re probably familiar with the saying, “Beauty is skin deep.” It’s meant to be a cautionary warning not to read too much into a person’s looks. And while that’s generally good advice, it’s good to be aware the saying dates back to the 1600’s. Today we know that a healthy complexion can indeed be an indicator of a healthy body. And, conversely, not taking care of your skin can lead to adverse, and sometimes very serious, health challenges. As our interest in skincare has grown, so has the skin
You Are Here Now (opens the original)
Read excerpt
If you’re going to get anywhere in business, you’ll need have some idea of how you’re going to get there. You might call that a strategic plan, maybe a business model. Whatever you call it, it’s basically a map: a sketch of the possible paths from A to B. Maps are pretty useful. The business of making them — cartography — has gotten pretty sophisticated.

Read excerpt

"Your body is a temple." It’s a scriptural metaphor we hear so often we almost stop listening to it. But think about what that actually means: maintenance. Upkeep. Care. It’s hard work. Not everyone wants to do it, even if everyone ought to. And that’s because it can be really inconvenient. You work an eight-hour shift that starts after you get the kids to school. And if you’re lucky enough to squeeze in an hour at the gym, you don’t know where to start. But what if you thought of the gym as mor

Read excerpt
We all know business, at least at the point of sale, has gotten pretty impersonal. Even at the grocery store, you can avoid other people altogether. Just pop in your earbuds and use the self-checkout line. The name of the game here is efficiency. Retailers and service companies are betting that most customers prefer speed and convenience at the cost of human contact and oversight. An age-old lesson in business: It pays to zig when your competitor zags. Some people still value trust and reliabili
