'Rich Habits: The Daily Success Habits of Wealthy Individuals,' by Thomas Corley

In "Rich Habits," Corley outlines his findings after studying the lives of both rich people (people with an annual income of $160,000 or more and a liquid net worth of $3.2 million or more) and poor people (people with an annual income of $35,000 or less and a liquid net worth of $5,000 or less) for five years.

He managed to segment out what he calls "rich habits" and "poverty habits,"meaning the tendencies of those who fit in each group. 

His 94-pager provides 10 principles to help you start developing the right habits and walk in the footsteps of the wealthy.

Before the dawn of Wal-Mart, Costco, and Home Depot, street markets were the center of commerce in cities around the globe.

Today, bazaars and flea markets are ideal destinations for tourists to sample local cuisine, test their language skills, people-watch — and of course, shop for unique souvenirs.

Check out these bucket list-worthy markets.

Pike Place Market, Seattle

Occupying Seattle’s waterfront for over a century, the Pike Place Market is one of the country’s oldest continuously operated farmers’ markets. What started as ten farmers with wagons full of goods to sell now stretches nine acres along Elliott Bay, including eighty restaurants and over two hundred owner-operated shops. Open 362 days a year, visitors will find locally-grown produce, one-of-a-kind fashion accessories and handmade home goods.

San Telmo Market, Buenos Aires

On Sunday, Plaza Dorrego — a relatively quiet, shady square lined with cafes — overflows with vendors selling antiques, homemade crafts and local cuisine from Buenos Aires. Find bargains on clothing, jewelry, handcrafted leather and artwork along adjacent avenues as far as the eye can see. Looking to splurge? Some of Evita’s favorite dressmakers are still available for purchase at the vintage shop Gil Antiguedades. At 5 p.m., stalls clear out to make room for tango performances.

Medina of Marrekesh, Morocco

Visitors can easily get lost wandering the Medina, or historic district of Morocco’s third largest city. Endless alleys are lined with souks (bazaars) carrying spices, tea pots, kaftans and more available for purchase. Haggling is expected here and if you run out of dirhams, locals are willing to exchange your dollars (don’t expect a rate as favorable as the official exchange.) In addition to shops, take time to admire the snake charmers and acrobats performing along the way.

Kristaps Porzingis, the New York Knicks' rookie big man, has been one of the brightest stars of this year's stacked new class.

Coming into the season, Porzingis was a giant unknown — a 7-foot-3, 20-year-old from Latvia who had the height and length of a center, the shooting ability of a guard, and the athleticism of a forward.

While the NBA world was high on him, Porzingis was deemed a project. He needed to put on weight, and on top of being new to the NBA, would need time to craft his unique array of skills into a workable blend.

Instead, Porzingis has played a big part on a surprisingly decent Knicks team, and has produced several impressive highlights just nine games into his NBA career.

Between his incredible size, surprising production, jaw-dropping potential, and overall mystique, here's why the NBA world is so enthralled with Porzingis.

Prior to the 2015 NBA Draft, most of the NBA world had little exposure to Kristaps Porzingis. Compared to known prospects like Karl-Anthony Towns or Jahlil Okafor, Porzingis was a mysterious, scrawny teenager loaded with potential, playing in Spain.

People had to rely on grainy YouTube footage of his highlights, showing a wiry but explosive athlete from Latvia.

In his lone pre-draft workout, Porzingis blew people away, showing his incredible athleticism and shooting touch for a player his size. One scout said he was the best player in the draft.

New York runs on coffee — barely drinkable office swill, fast coffee from carts and bodegas, utility lattes from mega-chains like Starbucks and Dunkin' Donuts, and the actual good stuff from local roasters and beloved cafés.

The latter is what really feeds our addiction, and at $5 a cup, drains our bank accounts.

Keep scrolling to check out some of Manhattan's most beloved coffee institutions, the places New Yorkers go to get their fix and even spend an entire Sunday afternoon.  

Stumptown

From Portland, Oregon, Stumptown is the OG craft coffee shop. It sources the best beans in the world straight from farmers and roasts them with the utmost care and precision. All of its baristas must graduate from a 12-week intensive training program. 

There are two locations in New York, one in Greenwich Village and one in The Ace Hotel. The former was once the home of the Eighth Street Bookshop, a haunt of Jack Kerouac and Allen Ginsberg. At the brew bar you can have your coffee made with a Chemex, AeroPress, and other gadgets. 

Abraço

This tiny coffee bar is inspired by similar stalls in Spain and Italy. There's a windowsill bar and a slim table and bench out front where you can quickly down your espresso and polish off a slice of proprietress Elizabeth Quijada's famous olive oil cake.

Quijada opened Abraço with her husband, Jamie, in 2007. With tight quarters and a loyal East Village clientele, it's a convivial little shoebox with music thumping at all hours. The couple roasts their own beans and are known for interesting blends such as Lil' Jeffy, which has notes of chocolate, strawberry, and "cigar box wood and papa's pipe tobacco." 

Blue Bottle Coffee

With seven locations in New York, California's Blue Bottle coffee shop has this writer's favorite iced coffee. Its New Orlean's style cold brew is made with chicory and a touch of cane sugar for a supremely decadent yet mellow flavor. 

They're also known for their pour-over coffee and a commitment to only using beans less than 48 hours out of the roaster. At the flagship NYC shop in Chelsea, single origin coffee selections change seasonally and public cuppings held every Saturday are open to the public. 

Antoine Geiger's photography might change how you see your cell phone.

Hardly a day goes by where a robot doesn't beat a human at things originally thought to be impossible to automate.

This year especially, artificial intelligence (AI) has had a renaissance — Tesla pushed their self-driving autopilot out to all eligible cars, and Google and Facebook have both announced large investments in AI research.

The latest human jobs to be taken by robots include video game playing and trading stocks. In the near future, robots might even become your best friend.

Where will these technologies take us next? Well to know that we should determine what's the best of the best now. Tech Insider talked to 18 AI researchers, roboticists, and computer scientists to see what real-life AI impresses them the most.

Subbarao Kambhapati is impressed by who quickly we've developed self-driving cars.

I think autonomous driving is most impressive to me. Autonomous driving first started in the Nevada deserts. It's harder to drive in the urban streets than in rough, almost nonexistent roads in the Nevada desert. Again, because the hardest thing is reasoning the intentions, to some extent, of other drivers on the road.

That has been quite impressive, that we went that far that quickly. I'm pretty much sure that some years down the line, none of us actually have to drive.

Commentary from Subbarao Kambhapati, a computer scientist at Arizona State University.

At this rate, cars will be driving themselves in no time, and Carlos Guestrin can't wait.

It took me a long time to really understand what the implications or impact of the self driving cars would be on our society. I don't like to drive now, so this is kind of a commodity for me.

The recent results that we're seeing with things such as self-driving cars, like an ability to significantly decrease traffic accidents— I think that's really exciting to think about.

I think about a world with no cars would be exciting to me but think about a world with automation of vehicles and the impact it will have on society. That's really exciting.

Commentary from Carlos Guestrin, the CEO and cofounder of Dato, a company that builds artificially intelligent systems to analyze data.

A program that learned to fly a model helicopter like a world-champion blew Peter Norvig away.

One of my favorite systems is Andrew Ng's system that learned to pilot a model helicopter from a few hours of observation, and was able to perform tricks at the level of world-champion pilots.

This was before the introduction of super-stable quadcopters — the copter used in this experiment was extremely challenging to control.

Commentary from Peter Norvig, director of research at Google.

Over the last few years, rents have been soaring in major cities across the country. In fact, rising rents have even outpaced home price growth in some markets, making homeownership a much cheaper deal than renting. That said, we realize that not everyone is ready to settle down and buy a house even if the math theoretically makes sense.

The trouble is, renting in some cities is prohibitively expensive. For instance, in the city of San Francisco, 78.1% of 1-bedroom homes are going for at least $2,500 a month. Meanwhile, 66.8% of 1-bedroom rentals in Boston were listed for $2,000 a month or more.

Now for renters who are no longer lone wolves and in the market for a 2-bedroom apartment, the odds of finding an affordable rental aren’t any better if you want to stay in the city center.

For example, nearly half of all the 2-bedroom homes in Manhattan were listed for more than $4,000 a month. But if renters are willing to venture out to one of the other boroughs, the savings can be significant.

In nearby Brooklyn, only 11% of 2-bedroom rentals are going for $4,000 a month or more as there are more rentals hovering near the $2,000 to $3,000 range.

Fortunately for renters, not every neighborhood in a city is prohibitively expensive. So, to help house hunters in the country’s priciest rental markets, we’ve mapped out where most of the 1-bedroom rental are likely to be priced at more than $3,000 month or more than $2,000 a month.

This is based on all the homes listed for rent on Trulia between Jan. 1, 2015 and Oct. 20, 2015, which includes single-family homes, apartments, condos, and townhouses. Only neighborhoods with a sizable sample size of rentals were included.

Rents are sky-high in San Francisco for one bedrooms.

Believe it or not, San Francisco is home to one of America’s most expensive rental markets. The median rent for a 1-bedroom rental in SF is currently at a whopping $3,200. The highest concentration of 1-bedroom rentals priced over $3,000 is in Fisherman’s Wharf (82.8%), followed by the Mission (78.8%), and Pacific Heights (73.8%).

In New York City, one bedrooms are pretty pricey.

The median rent for a 1-bedroom rental in Manhattan, currently at $3,250, is equally as high as in San Francisco. And, as can be expected, rents vary dramatically across the five boroughs. Manhattan is the priciest, with the highest concentration of pricey 1-bedroom rentals in Battery Park City (90.9%) and the Flatiron District (90.8%). You’ll find more affordable rentals in the other four boroughs, except in Vinegar Hill in Brooklyn where 94.7% of the 1-bedroom are going for at least $3,000 a month.

Same in Brooklyn.

Everyone's heard a thing or two about North Korea, the "hermit kingdom" that sits on the east coast of China.

North Korea frequently makes headlines as its government continues to tout its military hardware and make boisterous, but so far benign, nuclear threats.

The country has also been linked to several cyber-related incidents lately, but it denies involvement.

Still, the one thing that remains a bit of a mystery is what goes on inside the hermit kingdom, as data isn't readily available or reliable. But check out below some of the things we do know about what makes the country tick:

North Korea recently created its own time zone: Pyongyang Standard Time.

North Korea created its own time zone.

Starting August 15, the country now goes by Pyongyang Time, which will bring back the country to the time zone used on the Korean peninsula before Japanese rule.

It costs $8,000 to defect from North Korea.

Since Kim Jong Un took power, it has gotten more expensive to defect from the hermit kingdom.

It costs about $8,000 to get to China, which is way more than the average North Korean can afford, considering the GDP per capita is $1,800.

The late Kim Jong Il's annual cognac expense was 800 times the average North Korean's annual income.

Kim Jong Il, the father of Kim Jong Un, reportedly spent£700,000 on Hennessy each year. That's about $1.2 million.

The average annual income in North Korea is estimated to be between $1,000 and $2,000. We used $1,500 in our calculation.

Gwyneth Paltrow’s lifestyle website Goop has just released its holiday gift guide, and this year, it seemed surprisingly tame... at first.

With sections like For the Dudes and For the Entertainer, Paltrow and her team came up with a solid list of gifts. Sure there was a $260 corset unitard, a $1,000 silverware storage container, and $330 crystal fireplace logs. But Paltrow also had some more practical gift ideas this year and even included a section for under $50 gifts for offices parties.

But before you get disappointed, Paltrow knows what the public truly wants from her: laughably insane and expensive gift ideas. She delivered with her last guide for Ridiculous (and Awesome) Gifts.

From 18-karat gold dumbbells to something called a Darwin Tank for over $1,600, keep scrolling to see what Paltrow says you should get the person who has everything — in other words, herself.

Let's begin with this $1,500 vintage ball and chain from design store Blackman Cruz.

This Darwin jellyfish tank costs over $1,600. "No clue where you buy jellyfish though," says Paltrow.

While I doubt Paltrow has sat in stadium seating, she included this $70 heated seat cushion from Sky Mall. Who knew she loved Sky Mall?

In 2002, photographer Corey Arnold left behind a poor economy in San Francisco and headed up to Alaska to try his luck at his longtime passion of fishing.

Arnold, who had worked summers during college on a salmon boat in Alaska, signed on to the f/v Rollo, a crabbing boat that fishes in the dangerous Bering Sea.

While working long, strenuous hours on the Rollo, Arnold often stole away with the captain’s permission to grab his camera and photograph the crew and the ship. 

Arnold eventually put together "Fish Work: Bering Sea," a documentation of his seven adventurous and dicey crab seasons aboard the Rollo.

Arnold shared a selection of the photos with us here, and you can check out the rest in the book or on his website.

There are two annual crabbing seasons in the Bering Sea, King crab and Opilio crab. During each one- to two-month season, Arnold went on numerous trips crabbing. He went on one or two trips during King season, and three to five during Opilio season.

The Bering Sea, located between far east Russia and Alaska, has a unique interaction of strong currents, sea ice, and powerful weather patterns. It is one of the most dangerous places to fish in the world. Arnold calls the sea "a continuous storm."

The 107-foot f/v Rollo is equipped to handle tumultuous seas. Average seas in the Bering Sea have around 10- to 20-foot waves, but Arnold has witnessed massive 50-foot waves and the Rollo's captain, Eric Nyhammer, has witnessed 80-foot waves. Arnold rarely saw his captain get nervous, but when he does, the crew knows it's time to worry.

Circa 4 p.m., pretty much anything sounds better than staring at your office computer screen.

For instance, traveling the world — working when you feel like it, how you feel like it, and with a view to rival any Instagrammer's best shot. Or maybe even putting your job on hold (or leaving it altogether) to soak up experiences as you pass through.

If you ask the people below, that life is not only possible, but affordable. Here's how real people who spend their lives traveling from city to country to continent make it work without spending a fortune.

Matt Gibson runs a business from Ban Phe, Thailand.

In 2004, Gibson left his native British Columbia to move to Taiwan, in hopes of quickly paying off his student loans. 

Teaching English and working only 18 hours a week, he was able to eliminate them in a matter of months.

Today, he lives in Ban Phe, Thailand, where he says his living costs are about $1,000 a month. He earns $3,000-$5,000 through his website, Xpat Matt, and his marketing company for travel brands, Xpat Media.

"Like many travel bloggers, I live a pretty lean lifestyle," he told Business Insider. "In most places living abroad, it's not very expensive — $1,000 a month goes pretty far. I've been saving money pretty regularly for the past couple of years. My day-to-day is pretty inexpensive, but sometimes I'll splurge on trips."

When he isn't visiting places like Sri Lanka and Bhutan, Gibson works from home across the street from the beach, where he goes for a run or a swim nearly every day.

Arjen Ulrich spent six months walking from his hometown of Alkmaar, the Netherlands, to New York City.

After visiting New York City in 2013, Ulrich made a plan to walk 3,200 miles from the Netherlands back to New York, covering as much ground on foot as possible.

Walking a maximum of 25 miles a day might not sound like a dream, but on a budget of $24 a day, Ulrich was able to see Belgium, France, the UK, the Faroe Islands, Iceland, Greenland, Canada and the US on foot.

"Hitchhiking through the north of Iceland from Seyðisfjörður (east) to Reykjavik (west) resulted in one of the best experiences on this trip so far," he told Business Insider. "With still more than 350km to go I got a ride from a Canadian guy who was spending his three short days in Iceland by driving around the whole country, only to stop to take pictures or for a short nap in the car. I joined him through the night, saw the sunset and sunrise at 2:30am and slept outside on a piece of grass, finding the sun high up in the sky warming up my face as I woke up at 9am. That was freedom in near-perfect form!"

There are plenty of ways to turn people off.

In fact, most of them don't require much effort. All it takes is one look at your social media activity or a casual in-person introduction to make someone realize they just don't want to spend time with you.

We've rounded up some of the most common social turn-offs online and in person, as well as how to avoid them. Read on and see which ones you've been guilty of.

1. Sharing too many photos on Facebook

You might be eager to share snapshots of your honeymoon, cousin's graduation, and dog dressed in a Halloween costume, all within a 24-hour period.

But research has found that posting too many photos on Facebook can hurt your real-life relationships.

"This is because people, other than very close friends and relatives, don't seem to relate well to those who constantly share photos of themselves," lead study author David Houghton, PhD, said in a release.

Specifically, friends don't like it when you've got too many photos of family, and relatives don't like it when you've got too many photos of friends.

As Ben Marder, PhD, another author on the study, put it: "Be cautious when sharing and think how it will be perceived by all the others who may see it. Although sharing is a great way to better relationships, it can also damage them."

2. Having too many or too few Facebook friends

In one study, researchers asked college students to look at fictional Facebook profiles and decide how much they liked the profiles' owners. The study took place in 2008, and the students had about 300 friends each.

Results showed that the "sweet spot" for likability was about 300 friends. Likability ratings were lowest when a profile owner had only about 100 friends, and almost as low when they had more than 300 friends.

As for why 300-plus friends could be a turn-off, the study authors write, "Individuals with too many friends may appear to be focusing too much on Facebook, friending out of desperation rather than popularity."

On the other hand, the researchers acknowledge that if you look at a population where the most common number of Facebook friends is 1,000, the sweet spot for likability could be 1,000.

Keep in mind, though, that one survey found that the average number of Facebook friends among adult users was 338 in 2014.

Interestingly, the study also found that participants weren't consciously aware that they liked people less when they had too many or too few Facebook friends.

3. Disclosing something extremely personal early on in a relationship

In general, people like each other more after they've traded confidences. In fact, self-disclosure is one of the best ways to make friends as an adult.

But psychologists say that disclosing something too intimate— say, the fact that your sister is having an extramarital affair — while you're still getting to know someone can make you seem insecure and decrease your likability.

The key is to get personal without getting overly personal. As one study led by Susan Sprecher at Illinois State University suggests, simply sharing details about your hobbies and your favorite childhood memories can make you seem warmer and more likable.

Videos comparing the most popular styles from the past 100 years have been making the rounds online lately, whether they deal with women's beauty looks or men's hairstyles.

But now a new video is being passed around, with a twist: this one is showing not only the most glamorous women of each time period, but also what the typical woman would have looked like.

It's a departure from Cut Video's typical "100 Years of Beauty" videos, which show the ideal woman from each decade. Read on to see how the videos compare.

Lio Malca is a renowned art collector, gallery owner, and hotelier with properties in New York City, Ibiza, and Tulum.

He recently hoisted his full-floor SoHo loft onto the market for a steep $6 million. The two-bedroom loft is chock-full of famous art, including pieces by Andy Warhol, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Keith Haring, and KAWS. He's constantly rotating the pieces that are on display in his apartment, making it an endlessly fresh art experience. 

Oren and Tal Alexander and Ian Slater of Douglas Elliman have the listing. They recently invited us to a private listing event so that we could check out Malca's pad for ourselves. We were blown away by what we saw.

You secured the interview, brought your A game, and landed the job. Now comes the hard part: negotiating your salary. 

"Salary negotiations are like any other type of negotiations — except the words you use can be extremely powerful, since there is a personal aspect to the discussion," says HR expert Steve Kane. "The negotiation is not over the worth and price of an inanimate object, but rather the value of you to some enterprise."

Here are 16 words and phrases that may hurt more than they'll help in a salary negotiation:

'I accept [the first offer].'

Remember: This is a negotiation, so be careful not to end it before it has even had a chance to start, says Ryan Kahn, a career coach, founder of The Hired Group, and author of "Hired! The Guide for the Recent Grad."  

'I'm looking for X.'

Never throw out the first number. "You want to leave room for discussion," says Lynn Taylor, author of "Tame Your Terrible Office Tyrant: How to Manage Childish Boss Behavior and Thrive in Your Job."

Kahn agrees. "A good negotiation strategy is to let the employer offer the first number. That puts you in a position to see the number they are offering and gives you the opportunity to negotiate it up from there."

'That's all you're offering me?'

Never say this, or anything else that will offend the employer — even if you think the salary they're offering is laughable. 

The 1.7 million people who use Slack on a daily basis primarily know it as the app they use to communicate with their coworkers. But Slack has a greater ambition: it wants to be the command center for all the other apps and services people rely on each day.

Slack recently announced partnerships with Lyft, Foursquare, and a couple of other services that will let you do things like request a car ride and find a place to eat after work — all without leaving Slack.

The new commands can be easily added using the "Add to Slack" button within a team's settings. And they're all accessed with the Slash Command — typing a slash followed by the name of the app or service, just like you do when you insert a GIF with the /giphy [text] command.

Lyft can get you a ride in Slack and show the ETA for when a car can pick you up.

Lyft’s Slash Command gives you what you'd find in the Lyft app on your phone, like the ETA for when you will be picked up, the estimated cost to drive between two places, and saved address shortcuts for "home" and "work."

Foursquare will show you places you might want to visit for food or a drink nearby.

Type the /foursquare command in Slack followed by something like "lunch near Madison Square Park" and Foursquare will post three suggestions.

Planning the team lunch outing just got a lot easier.

Dribble will give you design inspiration.

The popular design site Dribble has a new Slash Command that can bring up images hosted on its site by keyword — similar to how Slack's integration with Giphy works.

The Royal NYC

The place has 43 flat screen TVs — to miss a play at The Royal would be 1) understandably frustrating and 2) downright miraculous.

“What we are trying to convey every day, what we work really hard to do,” says owner Daniel Rieger, “is to be just a really fun place where no one ever feels uncomfortable. The whole point with our DJs and our staff, even the decorations, is to have a really good, fun, relaxed time.”

Straddling the vibrant Gramercy and Union Square neighborhoods in Manhattan and still managing to be entirely unpretentious, The Royal splays the good cheer across 2400 square feet. Patrons can pony up to the bar, camp out in a booth, lord over the crowd on high-top stools, or ring a table while enjoying the Super Bowl-ready finger-food — we recommend the Grilled Wings — whipped up by Executive Chef Daniel Parilla.

Grey Bar

This isn’t your dad’s old fashioned sports dive. Grey Bar has beautiful wood decor, sleek countertops and a long bar as you enter separated by an equally as long communal seating area and, in understated yet strategic fashion, a dozen flat-screen TVs. As for cuisine, Grey Bar features an adventurous array of bar food including shrimp-and-andouille thin-crust pizza, barley risotto and diver scallops. For lighter fare, order the the seared Ahi Tuna – sliced rare with sesame cucumber noodles, ginger soy vinaigrette and avocado.

Manhattan Proper

So what’s so great about this newest face in TriBeCa Manhattan Proper?

“Oo! Well, I’ll start with our staff, first and foremost,” beams Star Putnik, the effervescent Sales and Events Coordinator. We have a great staff, and when you come here, it’s kind of like a ‘Cheers’ bar; you’ve got familiar faces, great drink specials, great food, great atmosphere. It’s just a really great place to hang out on a lazy Sunday and watch the game.”

There’s a good chance the World Series or Super Bowl Sunday for that matter will be anything but “lazy,” and Putnik and Co. are more than ready. Of course, the five 70-inch flat screen TVs and the 80-incher in the back will probably go a long way in keeping the fans in their seats, but the locally-sourced menu, dashed with such trendy entries like Sriracha Shrimp and Truffle Burgers, is guaranteed to put even the most ardent fan into a contented food coma.

In the NFL, lots of players sign big contracts. But unlike other sports, those players rarely see the end of those deals or all of the money.

Thanks to contracts that are not guaranteed, sometimes players are cut or deals are restructured when their production declines or their salary-cap number gets too big.

But a select few have gone on to make big money in their careers, with 18 players making at least $100 million.

Not surprisingly, many of those players are quarterbacks, as 11 of the 14 highest-paid of all time throw the ball for a living.

Using contract data obtained by Spotrac.com, here are the 25 highest-paid players in NFL history.

1. Peyton Manning, QB — $244.7 million

2. Eli Manning, QB — $187.8 million

Seasons: 12

Highest single-season earnings: $37 million (2015; includes $31 million signing bonus)

Championships: 2

Pro Bowls: 3

First-team All-Pro: 0

One thing to know: Manning will pull in a cool $37 million this season alone as part of his new $84 million contract, which included a $31 million signing bonus.

3. Tom Brady, QB — $162.8 million

Seasons: 16

Highest single-season earnings: $33 million (2013; includes $30 million signing bonus)

Championships: 4

Pro Bowls: 10

First-team All-Pro: 2

One thing to know: Brady has consistently sacrificed money during his career for the sake of the team. He is in the first year of a three-year, $27 million extension. Six players in the NFL will make more than $27 million this year.
