I'm happy to give up some of my privacy in exchange for a longer and healthier life. I'm happy to use sensors, have genetic tests and share my data with professionals to learn how I can make better decisions. I just can't accept that my life and the lives of my loved ones depend on pure luck. I want them to depend on decisions more. So if you could choose between the white pill (more luck marks your health than your decisions) or the red pill (your decisions shape your faith by becoming proactive), what would you choose? http://bit.ly/2Q1CFgr #fromchancetochoice #technology #health #healthcare #digitalhealth …see more

Your life now depends on a massive amount of luck. If you get sick, you get treatments if you feel a symptom in the right time, get access to care in time, get the right tests done in a reliable way, your doctor makes the best decision for you out of the millions of medical papers out there, and you comply with the therapy properly. Plus, environmental effects and lifestyle choices have a huge impact on your quality of life. Can you count how many different parameters these are? Do you know how many can you influence? I dare you to challenge me if you disagree. Until then, check out the campaigns we do for patients, physicians or policy makers on our site to shift from chance to choice. https://lnkd.in/eXrF72S #fromchancetochoice #digitalhealth …see more

Re the last two posts, I've been asked why economists have continued to lag the damaging realities on the ground. I tried to answer this in last week's Financial Times (link below). And unlike some stock investors, economists can't (very, if not overly) optimistically hope for central bank purchases of stocks, https://lnkd.in/eUSh6VA #economy #financeandeconomy #stocks #markets #economists #ft #investors #investing …see more

Who's your nemesis? We all have (at least) one--that person who really gets under your skin. Sometimes they throw passive-aggressive digs your way, other times they attack you directly. Different method, same result: You can't stand them. But how do you react? There's a smart way to handle these types of people. It's the emotionally intelligent approach. So, how do you use emotional intelligence to guide you when you're being provoked? Try doing the following: 1. Approach the person directly. 2. Use the "green-light" approach.

Starbucks is smarter than you think. Over the years, the company has invested heavily into its mobile app. Customers grew to love the user-friendly experience. They loved the customization features. And most of all, they loved the rewards. But I recently discovered a very unique strategy Starbucks is using to pull even more value from its mobile customers... By using those customers as a very generous lending partner. Here's how Starbucks' plan works.
