Leena Palande - Raise DHEA Levels Naturally

• Enjoy outdoor activities, leisurely walk, etc. at list for an hour every day. Join a laughter club. Laughing out loudly helps lower the stress. It promotes release of essential hormones. Enjoying sex also helps raise the levels of the master hormone.
• Lack of physical activity and DHEA deficiency go hand in hand. Regular exercise plays an important role in increasing DHEA production in the body. Exercise has other benefits as well.
• Low calorie diet helps increase the levels of DHEA. Such diet also plays an important role in maintaining the weight. It promotes longer life expectancy.
• Diet that is rich in animal fat can lower DHEA levels. Those who are obese are likely to suffer from scarcity of DHEA. It has been observed that restricted intake of carbohydrates and fats helps raise blood DHEA. You should include complex carbs (fruits and vegetables) and good fat (lean chicken, fish, olive oil, canola oil, etc.) in your diet. A diet rich in omega 3 fatty acids can increase the levels of this hormone significantly.
• Since stress suppresses DHEA levels, it is necessary to lead a stress-free life. Practicing yoga and meditation helps relieve stress.
• Sufficient rest or sufficient sleep is necessary for proper functioning of the adrenal glands that produce DHEA. Overwork or late nights can cause dysfunction of adrenal glands.

Lessons from Michael Dobbs

If you're creating a know-it-all sleuth, what better character to start with than Beverly Hofstadter.

You have to remember - television is a monologue - you're being sold. Sure, it's entertaining and that's why you watch. But, sorry, no questions.

To enjoy Sherlock, it helps to believe that anywhere in modern-day Britain, a bully can carry a bag into a tall building and assemble a high-powered rifle and blow away anyone without a care. Sure, that's easy enough. That's how Michael Dobbs put his masterpiece together that we all love as much as NFLX who coughed up 200 mousas for it.

Succeeding as an Entrepreneur

According to Alyson Shontell's material (which I'm not sure how you get ) :

Be a serial entrepreneurs - duh, keep doing it you'll eventually figure out how to do it well.
If you're going to a VC - your chances of getting the cash from him are higher if you failed with her money once
Be good at market timing - know which industry is going to take off and get in there..
Be funded by top-tier VC's
Get good ideas while you have a steady paycheck with a dinosaur:)

Book Reviews

Recent reads (sorry, no reviews) :

Up From Slaver (super book. Read it! Again and again and again! It's all about starting from rags and right definition of riches. While I was in the other hemisphere, I saw some goffiti (government sponsored graffiti) : Education is the kindling of a flame, not the filling of a vessel - Socrates)
-- Booker Taliaferro Washington

Think Without Ink by Venkat - so, so - might up your game a little bit depending what you do - but, mostly, given that we've moved from the information age to the conceptual age, I'd say he can do with a rewrite - and so can the designers of India's CAT.

Oh, BTW, today I meets someone who works in the Sherrif's office and asks him if he's heard of David Lieberman's book "Now You Can Read Anyone", and he says yes. Said he made a lot of money working as a security consultant for companies in his spare time. Nice.

The Deadly P's

Stacy Kaiser's definitions (love em) :

Good pride :

good pride :

care about your work, results, reputation
look and perform at your highest level
keep from being abused and taken advantage of

bad pride :

I'm too good for this
I'm not giving this to you, because you don't give it to me
You did this, so I'm doing that
I'd rather win than give in

Bad power :

Winning is more important than peace
I don't have to listen to you
What I say should go. Period.
I don't care what you want as long as I get what I want.

I think people should read this chapter from Stacy's book once every couple of months..
