MOOD SHIFT. We all know that feeling, the deadline’s looming, your plans are unraveling, and life seems to be whispering, “Not today.” When fate feels like it’s out to get you, it’s natural to want to throw your hands up in exasperation. But here’s the truth: you can outsmart chaos and come out cool, composed, and maybe even smiling. All you need is a few mindset flips and, yes, something sweet.

1. Pre-Mortem: Plan Like Murphy’s Watching
Murphy’s Law reminds us that anything that can go wrong might just do that. So why not beat it to the punch? A pre-mortem mindset means walking through potential missteps before they happen. Think of it like crisis rehearsal: if this goes wrong, what’s my Plan B? Backups and foresight turn breakdowns into brief detours—not full-on disasters.

MUST READ. Despite our best intentions, we often make financial choices that defy logic. From impulse spending to ignoring long-term goals, these decisions aren’t just bad habits—they’re rooted in how our brains are wired. That’s where behavioral economics comes in.

Behavioral economics combines psychology and economics to explain how emotions, cognitive biases, and mental shortcuts affect financial decisions. Unlike traditional economics, which assumes people are rational actors, this field acknowledges the messy, human side of money.

CINEMA PICKS. The long wait is over. Marvel Studios’ iconic first family is finally landing in the Marvel Cinematic Universe—and in Philippine cinemas this July 23. “The Fantastic Four: First Steps” promises to redefine what it means to be a superhero by spotlighting the bonds of family, the burden of power, and the beauty of rediscovery.

Set in a retro-futuristic world inspired by the 1960s, the film unfolds in vibrant, cosmic detail, exploring how four ordinary people grapple with extraordinary powers after a life-changing space mission. More than just origin stories, it’s about navigating relationships, identity, and purpose while facing one of the MCU’s most powerful cosmic threats: Galactus, Devourer of Worlds, and his ominous Herald, the Silver Surfer.

MUST READ. In an era of screen fatigue and sedentary workdays, the idea of swapping boardroom tables for open walkways is gaining momentum. Enter the walking meeting—an increasingly popular method that does more than promote physical health. It might just be a secret weapon for sharper thinking and better decisions.

Studies from Stanford and other institutions suggest that walking boosts creative output by up to 60%. Physical activity increases blood flow to the brain, which in turn enhances cognitive functions like memory, focus, and problem-solving.

UNVEILED. Samsung Electronics has once again redefined compact sophistication with the unveiling of the Galaxy Z Flip7, a sleek and intelligent smartphone designed for life on the go. Combining iconic style with cutting-edge multimodal AI features, the Flip7 is not just a phone—it’s your pocket-sized partner in productivity, creativity and everyday convenience.

Compact Yet Commanding
Designed to slip effortlessly into the tightest of spaces—from handbags to shirt pockets—the Flip7 proves that intelligence doesn’t need to be oversized. Featuring Samsung’s slimmest silhouette yet, the device folds down to just 13.7mm, and weighs only 188 grams, making it the most portable Flip to date. But don’t let the size fool you: this tiny titan packs in a 4,300mAh battery, a 3nm processor, and—new this generation—a PC-like experience via Samsung DeX.
