Take your 7 hours of sleep as crucial as the same hours of work (esp. after 50)!
As I always talk about the importance of sleep all years, some people get tired of listening to me. But as you get older, the more important the quality of good night sleep becomes. This research is one of them to prove it. Sure, the sleep habit is one of the areas where you can
“Well-being” is no longer a “soft slogan”
(source: https://www.hhs.gov/surgeongeneral/priorities/workplace-well-being/index.html) It’s been a buzz word, but the world started to giving a serious attention to this old and new concept of “well-being” especially since the outbreak of the Covid-19 epidemic. We saw our lifestyle change drastically, witnessed bad hikes of suicide and mental problems among adults and kids alike, and now we all
Cybersecurity not just for financial sectors but for healthcare ones
Cybersecurity for the web 3.0 world, of course they are talking about that all the time, but for financial sectors as well, that’s the most talk-about topic and the greatest concern all along. Singapore, as the definitely No.1 financial center in Asia, aims to invest more financial and human resources to this domain. How about
【salon】第32回「仏教と科学のサロン」のテーマは「他力を知る」で開催されました。
今回のテーマは、浄土教ではど真ん中の難しいテーマ「他力」でした。実は数日前に、最近「ガンダムUC」を一気に見て興奮冷めやらぬ私（平原）が、「ガンダムオタク」として鳴らすご門主に、「順序は逆になってしまったが、次は何を見るべきか？」という質問をしていたのですが、それを受けての彼の「いきなり感満載」な枕話で唐突に幕を開けました。
Why Sleep-Deprived People Are More Selfish and Lonely

A few days ago Meta, or more specifically, Oculus, released their new product of cool VR headset.

Keep growing with your own experience
A good article. Most of our “learning” occurs when we “experience.” Much more so than what we read or listen to lectures. However, to actually “learn” from what we experience is rather difficult. As the article puts it, “most of us are not good at “wringing meaning.” We often don’t learn from experiences because we’re
Google Pixel Watch in Japan w/ good Suica power
Google is smart as we thought. To dive into Japanese e-wallet market, getting along with Suica, the e-wallet giant in japan, which is operated by Japan Railway East, is a must. If you have a good Suica-compatibility on your mobile device, you have much bigger chance to carry it around, thus you’ll automatically use it
Does Mindfulness Get in the Way of Making Amends?
As you may well know, research on the effect of mindfulness meditation on our body and mind has been steadily growing. The below is one of the interesting studies I’ve encountered recently. “The result? While both meditations led to similar increases in mindfulness, only the loving-kindness meditation increased participants’ overall feelings of love, reduced their
