My household had a flock of chickens (both for eggs and for eating), the freezers were stocked full of meat, steaks were cooked rare, and there were even real animal heads decorating the walls (not that I ever liked the heads). … So, as I’m sure you can imagine, switching to veganism was a BIG change for me.” Sam Turnbull’s second cookbook, Fast Easy Cheap Vegan, makes the case that an animal-free vegan diet doesn’t have to be time-consum...

New Yorker staff writer John Colapinto is the author of five books and numerous science-linked articles. This is the Voice begins with a story about how he blew out his own voice singing in a band.

Our voices can be calibrated to reach one other person or thousands. One of his many research stops is up the Amazon to meet the Piraha, a reclusive tribe whose speaking sounds lik...

Verborgen Angst en Stress ontdekken en bevrijden
De bron van verborgen stress en angst wordt al snel een ondergrondse stroom die niet te stoppen is. Een stroom waaraan je gewend raakt dat die er is. Maar dat is niet je natuurlijke staat. Van nature mag je ontspannen zijn en je veilig en geliefd voelen. Een zeer korte uitleg: Mensen zijn erg lang afhankelijk van hun opvoeders en hebben veel behoefte aan affectie, in alle vormen. We hebben er veel voor over om dat veilig te stellen met als gevolg dat je inlevert aan je authentieke zelf en aan je onderbuik gevoel. Door...
