How do assemble your assets as you go through life? Start with deposits and house, then save enough for a portfolio that your adviser invests in an 'optimal asset allocation'? Or invest in own business? I've come up with a simple analogy as a way to think about wealth allocation. Let me know what you think. #assetallocation #portfolioconstruction #themoneyhans #themoneyhouse #financialeducation #behaviouralfinance #mentalaccounting Thanks to Natalie Barrass for producing this #LinkedInVideo - isn't the origami swan cute? …see more

Whenever you hear someone call an online product “addictive” or say that it is “hijacking your brain,” be cautious… they probably don’t know what they are talking about. Addiction is not quite so simple. We like to think that products are what cause addiction. That’s just not true. In fact, it’s actually a result of a combination of factors. Addiction is never just about the product. There’s always more to it! When we use the term “addiction” incorrectly, two bad things happen: - We don’t give the proper attention to people who actually have the pathology of addiction - We stave off responsibility for our own shortcomings Watch below and share your thoughts! 👇👇👇 Then, be sure to check out my article about the root causes of addiction at the link in the comments. #Indistractable #Addiction #HumanBehavior …see more

A Day in our Lives in 2045 - How Will Health and Wellbeing Change? 🧘 Healthcare’s been fundamentally changing: the use of health sensors, genomic data, artificial narrow intelligence, and other advanced technologies have become commonplace over the years. The same will happen to well-being. How are we going to wake up, consume our morning breakfast, exercise and arrive to work? Think food printers, food scanners, smart mirrors, microchips testing urine, etc. We’ll probably be taken care of without noticing it. Take a look at my recent paper to learn more about the future of wellbeing in the journal of IEEE. https://lnkd.in/edJmsJA #wellbeing #study #themedicalfuturist #digitalhealth #future #healthcare #medicine #technology …see more

I just kicked off the year with a keynote for Roche about the mindset pharma company leaders should have in 2020 to embrace patient empowerment, digital health technologies and the cultural transformation that's going on in healthcare. I loved every minute of it and tried to press ""patient design"" as hard as I could. Companies must involve patients at the highest level of decision-making. I still count on you all to share any good examples you see around! #themedicalfuturist #digitalhealth #future #healthcare #medicine #technology #fromchancetochoice #speaker #keynote #speakerlife #patientdesign #pharma …see more

Charts re revised OECD projections for growth. In addition to the headline on global growth as a whole--somewhat shallower dip in 2020 when compared to prior projections but, also, a slower recovery--greater individual country dispersion (e.g., Europe/Latin America/South Africa versus China). #economy #china #economics #markets #investing #gdp #oecd #europe #latinamerica #southafrica OECD - OCDE …see more

As regards the US, the update of Bloomberg Economics's weekly dashboard of higher frequency data shows, as you'd expect, the "increase in new Covid-19 cases is slowing the pace of the US economy’s recovery from the pandemic." Places more pressure on ongoing policy discussions in Congress. #economy #Bloomberg #covid …see more

Behind the horrific rise in unemployment (the weekly US jobless claims number comes out tomorrow) is significant pain and suffering for many families.

The Financial Times on exceptional policy actions being taken by central banks in emerging markets.

You don’t meet the love of your life until you’re lonely and looking. You don’t invent “hand washing” until you realize that people are dying in hospitals when doctors don’t wash their hands.

I want to home-college my kids. I know they have passions and interests. I want them to explore those instead of wasting time on useless things they will forget. Because there are skills that they need to learn that are specifically NOT taught in college... …see more
