Article: Human judgement can be subjective, frail, and spiteful. One recent study found that parents who were given corrected information about the safety of vaccines were less likely to have their children vaccinated. Why? The hypothesis is that parents given this information accept that the information is true, but push back people it damages their self-esteem — something that is very important to most people. Understanding what your biases are and where they may affect how you deal with information. Don't just think one or two steps ahead. Think several. Imagine you're a chess grandmaster who's dueling with someone with the capacity to think dozens of moves ahead, with hundreds of permutations. You have to match wits with him. Try to imagine the possible futures the problem you're working on may take on. Jeff Bezos, CEO of Amazon.com, famously understood the benefits of thinking several steps ahead. He tired Wired Magazine in 2011: "If everything you do needs to work on a three-year time horizon, then you’re competing against a lot of people. But if you’re willing to invest on a seven-year time horizon, you’re now competing against a fraction of those people, because very few companies are willing to do that." When the Kindle first hit stores in 2007 it was more than three years in development, at a time when e-readers were on nobody's radar. . Nothing beats the transformation of a great book. Whether it's Moby Dick or Philip K. Dick, great writing has the power to frame debate (literature), enlighten (nonfiction), or unleash emotion (poetry). And reading isn't only for bookworms. Elon Musk, the tech giant, said he mastered rocket science by pretty much "reading and asking questions." Empathy can also help you develop your critical thinking skills. Whether it's improving your negotiation tactics or understanding literature better, putting yourself in the shoes of others will help you imagine their motivations, aspirations, and turmoils. You can use this information to get leverage, be persuasive, or just plain be a better person. Empathy doesn't need to be heartless. Carve out 30 minutes in your busy day to make your brain more sleek and powerful. There are dozens of ways that you can do this. Here are just a few ideas:  Solve a problem a day.

Problem: Article: Most western medical treatments of hot flashes require a prescription. Visit your doctor to discuss the best treatment plan for you. You can see a primary care doctor or your gynecologist. HRT can be the most effective treatment for some women. Because of its side effects and potential risks, however, you and your doctor should carefully consider if it is the best treatment for you. To start HRT, you may be given estrogen or progesterone as a pill, patch, cream, gel, or vaginal ring.  If your hot flashes are frequent or severe, if you have low bone density, or if you have had early menopause (before the age of 40), HRT may be the best treatment for you.  Side effects and risks of HRT can include stroke, blood clots, heart disease, heart attacks, dementia, loss of urinary control (also known as urinary incontinence), gallbladder disease and an increased risk of breast cancer. Do not go on HRT if you have a history of breast cancer, ovarian cancer, endometrial cancer, blood clots, or stroke. Gabapentin is typically used to treat seizures, but it can also reduce moderately hot flashes in women. If you are nervous about the risks of hormone replacement therapy, talk to your doctor to see if  gabapentin will help instead. Side effects of gabapentin include dizziness, drowsiness, disorientation, and headaches. Even if you do not have depression, a low dosage of an anti-depressant such as paroxetine (such as Brisdelle or Paxil), venlafaxine (Effexor XR or Pristiq), or fluoxetine (Prozac or Sarafem) may improve your hot flashes. Side effects of anti-depressants can include nausea, dizziness, weight gain, dry mouth, or problems with sexual arousal. Clonidine may be able to reduce the number of severe hot flashes that you experience. To take it, you will apply a patch to your skin daily. Side effects include dry mouth, constipation, drowsiness, and skin irritation.
Summary: Visit a doctor to get a prescription. Undergo hormone replacement therapy (HRT). Use gabapentin to reduce the severity of hot flashes. Take an anti-depressant. Try a clonidine patch to lower the frequency of hot flashes.

Claims that you can learn shorthand in a few hours should be taken with a dose of skepticism. The time it will take you depends on how often you practice, the difficulty of the system, and your goal speed. It may take as long as a year of hard work to really master a useful shorthand. You need to fully absorb the word-building principles first; speed comes from them. Try for at least 45 minutes to an hour, if you can. Remember, though, that even daily short sessions are better than one or two longer ones per week. Start with the alphabet, filling each line of a piece of notebook paper with one letter. Next, you'll move on to words, doing the same thing. When you're ready, you'll move on to common groups of words. Saying the words aloud as you write them helps your brain make the connection between the phonemic sound and the symbol. Shorthand dictations come in different speeds (words per minute), so you can work your way to an increasingly rapid pace.  Practice each speed (30, 40, 50, 60, etc.) until you're comfortable, then move on. If you want to practice as much as possible, put dictations on your MP3 player and practice whenever you have a few extra minutes.

Start off with realistic expectations. Prioritize mastery over speed. Practice every day. Drill in stages. Increase speed with dictation exercises.
