You should only break up with someone via text if you're in the beginning stages, says Post Senning, who works for the Emily Post Institute, a longtime publisher of etiquette guides. Читать дальше...

If that’s not discouraging enough, financial planners say Americans are making plenty of other retirement missteps. Here are 19 other mistakes you could be making while planning for retirement. Читать дальше...

It's not that our intentions are bad. Our attention is just in the wrong place: on ourselves rather than the other person.

It turns out, a little empathy is all you need to fix nearly any situation.

During Hitler's nine-month imprisonment for trying to overthrow the German government in 1923, he wrote the book that would become the basis of his fortune — "Mein Kampf," or "My Struggle."

Initially sales of Hitler's anti-Semitic diatribe didn't capture Germany's attention.

"They sold, so-so," Dr. Pascal Trees, a research associate at the Institute for Contemporary History, said in the Smithsonian documentary "Hitler's Riches."
