Shout out to Philip DeFranco aka "sxephil" for starting a book club and inspiring me to do one of my own. John Green, notorious feels giver and feels taker, wrote this book about self-discovery and the meaning of the impact one's life leaves on another. It's actually a very touching and frank story that I feel truly encapsulates the feelings that teenagers have when very dramatic things happen in their lives. Be warned, though. If you do, in fact, read this book, you better be ready for some TLC because all you're gonna know are waterfalls. From your tear ducts. Buy your copy of "You Don't Love Me Yet" for next week's book club here: amzn.to Check out Philip DeFranco's Book Club: bit.ly FOLLOW ME: Tumblr: zacheser.tumblr.com Twitter twitter.com DJ Eser Bunny: facebook.com Fashion blog: chubbyguyswag.tumblr.com

Looking at the 'Dark Side' of Creativity
Looking at the 'Dark Side' of Creativity Tube. Duration : 3.98 Mins.
This is the VOA Special English Health Report, from voaspecialenglish.com | http Not all cheaters are creative. But apparently enough creative people cheat to interest researchers like Francesca Gino. Professor Gino is a behavioral economist at the Harvard Business School in Massachusetts. "There are actually a lot of examples in the literature, novels, movies, comic books about this idea of the evil genius, but really no empirical evidence for this relationship." Behavioral economists use ideas from psychology to study how people make economic choices. Professor Gino tested volunteers to see how creative they were. Then she tested them in situations involving small amounts of money, where they could earn extra by cheating. For example, they took a test and had to copy their answers onto another paper. But on that other paper the correct answers were already lightly marked, supposedly by mistake. The test-takers knew they would earn more for correct answers. They were led to believe they could cheat without getting caught. The results showed that the more creative people were more likely to cheat. By comparison, people who were more intelligent but less creative were not more likely to cheat. Professor Gino says creative people are better at creating excuses to justify their actions to themselves. "What we find is that that creativity leads people to be more morally flexible, so they are much more able to come up with justification for the behavior that they're about to ...
