Tackling Uncertainty for Personal Growth
“Hey Google, what’s the weather forecast?” “Alexa, check the traffic on my route to work.” “Siri, read my list of appointments for the day.” Human beings are hardwired to crave certainty.

Why Short Getaways Might Be Exactly What You Need
Sometimes planning the break that you need from work just feels like ... more work. How are you going to find time to compare flights, book hotel rooms, and schedule visits to attractions when you're already busy managing your job, running the kids to practices, cooking meals, and helping with homework? And even if you could get away, what about the pile of work – and above-average credit card bills – that will be waiting for you when you come home? Maybe planning a lon
