An inquiry into: Who we are

feature: Delicatessen With Love // Riverboom - instituteartist.com

"Riverboom’s Gabriele Galimberti pays homage to all the grandmothers in the world and to their love for good cooking, starting from his own very Tuscan grandmother Marisa who, before the departure for his tour around the world by couchsurfing, took care to prepare her renowned “ravioli ripieni”. She was not so concerned about the possible risks or mishaps her grandson might face in his adventurous travelling worldwide, but her major concern was, “what will he eat”? That is because only at home you can eat well and healthily. And above all, only your Italian grandmother (and sometimes mum) knows what is best for you. With the taste of his grandma’s ravioli in his mouth, Gabriele travelled around the world and, next to thousands of other adventures, turned into a curious and hungry grandson for the grannies of all the countries he visited.

Mind - Research Upends Traditional Thinking on Study Habits - NYTimes.com

Take the notion that children have specific learning styles, that some are “visual learners” and others are auditory; some are “left-brain” students, others “right-brain.” In a recent review of the relevant research, published in the journal Psychological Science in the Public Interest, a team of psychologists found almost zero support for such ideas.

STEPHEN FRY: WHAT I WISH I'D KNOWN WHEN I WAS 18 on Vimeo

Sun, 06 Jun 2010 07:49:02 +0000

"Now in his 50s, British writer and actor Stephen Fry offers some pearls of wisdom for the young (but they’re no less valuable for those a bit longer in the tooth). Don’t set yourself goals. (They keep you from fulfilling who you really are.) Keep your ego in check. (You’ll be better liked, and more opportunities will come your way.) Have heroes. Get outside your comfort zone. The list goes on…" Open Culture review http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/OpenCulture/~3/F27UhFvNhC8/stephen_fry_what_i_wish_i_had_known_when_i_was_18.html
