Imagine you are sitting on the couch watching your favorite television show after an exceptionally hard day at work. You have your favorite snack planted right next to you on the couch and despite your best efforts, you cannot bring yourself to stop munching on this delicious delicacy.

When you think about the sheer amount of “stuff” that we do every single day, it is astounding that we only sleep once in a typical 24 hour cycle. We make three meals a day (and maybe even more if we are being honest to our occasional midnight snacking), we walk the dog, we go to class or our job, we write our dissertation, drive the kids to school, and the list goes on.

When I met Pete Mickartz, Senior Director of Sales at Beyond Pricing, he was speaking on a panel for how to hire great sales talent in the very competitive Bay Area. I remember being so impressed with how he described his role. It wasn’t about how he could get the most out of his people. Rather, it was about what he could give. His role was to help his team succeeded, “to get you to where you want to be.”

Millennials are now the largest generation of workers in the U.S. labor force, and I’ve seen firsthand how we change corporate culture. Today’s employees expect workplaces to care more about our well-being than in years past. Workplace wellness programs are becoming the third pillar of expected employee benefits.
At LIFE Intelligence, we surveyed a broad range of respondents. 80% said they would be more interested in working for a company that offered digital employee wellness and development training like ours. To an employee, it says, “We’re taking a proactive approach to develop you as a leader because we care about you and your success here.” That feels good.

You are the hero of your own story. Stories aren't just for kids. In fact, they're critical in many forms of adult therapy, from Narrative Therapy to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. One of the top therapy apps, LIFE Intelligence covers 9 topics, or Missions, for holistic self, career, and relationship development. The second Mission is about developing self-awareness and understanding where you are in your LIFE story. Only in first understanding the status quo can you then determine where to go next. It focuses on the Hero's Journey, a common narrative arc in epic films or books. The Hero's Journey is really a story of personal growth. It's the journey of how we develop as humans and how we rise to the challenge when we're down. Read on to understand how.

COVID-19 has created a massive exodus of people moving away from cities like San Francisco and New York. Mental health needs amid Coronavirus quarantine have also spiked. Could there be a connection? Working from home means people can finally live in rural locations. Why are we finding this such a boon? We've previously written about managing stress and anxiety. But city living brings about added struggles: even more elevated stress, social comparisons, constant stimuli, uncertainty, and anxiety. Perhaps one answer to managing mental health and stress is simply leaving the city.

Persuasion is incredibly hard, especially when people have different perspectives, worldviews, mindsets, and values in life. Our brains are faster at processing opinions we agree with than those we disagree with. It is often difficult, and may even seem pointless at times, to try to convince someone to even listen to our point of view, let alone agree to it. It's no wonder, then, that researchers have long wanted to understand the art of persuasion. Is it really possible to persuade others, or is it just a fruitless endeavor? Here are four scientific models on the process of persuasion to hone your communication skills and soft skills.

Irritated? Are your colleagues or family members driving you crazy? Here are some tips from LIFE Intelligence, on coping and communicating when annoyed.
Sometimes it feels as if it is the most miniscule annoyances that bother us the most. We deal with annoying things and people every day. If you live in the city, you are constantly bombarded with that low roar of city traffic or subways going over the tracks. If you live with a partner or spouse, it may be the fact that they do not close the toothpaste after they use it that really grates on your nerves. Sometimes just the fact that someone types too loudly may cause us to practically lose our minds. However hard we try, we cannot eliminate these pesky occurrences from our lives. Oftentimes, it is the very small things that get us the most annoyed.
