Beyoncé has been able to dominate airwaves and pop culture for years now, in no small part due to Jim Sabey, her marketing genius and manager.

But Sabey, who's the former head of worldwide marketing for Beyoncé's management company Parkwood Entertainment, looks to be moving on from at least one thing: his Tribeca co-op apartment. He's listed the two-bedroom for $3.5 million.

The chic, minimalist 1,600-square-foot corner apartment is filled with light and boasts some high-tech amenities. Bonus: some of Beyoncé's greatest hits were allegedly written here, establishing this apartment's own claim to fame.

It's listed with Deborah V. Hughes and Diane Dambrosio of Douglas Elliman Real Estate.

The Tribeca apartment, in a 1915 co-op with 14 units in total, has a spacious terrace for taking in some sun.

Inside, wide windows let in plenty of light. But there are also shades that can be brought down on every window with the use of an app.

The master bathroom has lighting designed by Mariah Carey's Grammy-winning stage lighting designer in the 2000s; the architecture itself is worth about $100,000, according to Sabey.

If you're craving some Lay's chips in London or a Burger King meal in Australia, you're in luck because those brands exist abroad.

The only problem is that you might never be able to find them.

Famous brands in the US often go by completely different names abroad. Sometimes the change makes sense, other times the changes are so small and random they seem pointless.

See if you can identify what famous brands are called outside the US.

When I finished high school, my parents bought me a brand-new desktop tower Windows PC, built to my exacting specifications, to take with me to college. 

That computer wasn't one hundred percent perfect, with the occasional hiccup. But it was mine, and I loved it unconditionally. And I kept it for many years as my most prized possession. 

The Microsoft Surface Book — the Redmond giant's first-ever laptop, released in late 2015— is the first computer that I've ever loved in the same way, in the years since. 

Surface Book commands an Apple-like price, starting at $1,499. But I like it better than any Apple MacBook I've ever used. And the Surface Book doubles as a full-blown tablet, making it a great iPad or Android tablet replacement, too. Seriously.

And while the Surface Book's launch was riddled with bugs, I'm pleased to report that Microsoft has stepped up with fixes and patches. 

I could hug this thing. Actually, I think I will, give me a second here. Oh yeah, that's good. 

Here's why I love the Microsoft Surface Book laptop so darn much.

The Surface Book starts at a hefty $1,499. It rocks Microsoft Windows 10, a 13.5-inch touch-sensitive screen, a very nice keyboard with solid clicky-clack action, a Surface Pen stylus, two USB ports, an SD card slot, and the best non-Apple mouse touchpad I've ever tried.

It's got a very Apple-y sense of design. Unlike Microsoft's Surface and Surface Pro tablet/laptop hybrids, the Surface Book is a real, honest-to-goodness laptop that can, indeed, sit in your lap.

This sounds obvious, but even the latest Microsoft Surface Pro 4 tablet/laptop hybrid (pictured here) is a pain in the butt to comfortably sit on your lap, since the screen doesn't stay up by itself.

Anyone looking to break into the healthcare industry will find there are plenty of careers to choose from. These types of jobs can lead to meaningful work, high job satisfaction, and great pay. 

Business Insider teamed up with PayScale, a compensation software and data company, to find the 50 best companies to work for in America— dream-job companies where a premium is placed on employee satisfaction. 

Healthcare companies were well-represented on the list — they accounted for 20% of it — so we decided to rank them separately. The industry ranks shuffled a bit from last year, with pharmaceutical company Bristol-Myers Squibb jumping up one spot to take first place and last year’s No. 1, Amgen, dropping down to No. 5. 

To create the list, PayScale ranked companies on the 2015 Fortune 500 list against its salary and survey database, homing in on six criteria: high job satisfaction, low job stress, ability to telecommute, high job meaning, experienced median pay (for employees with at least five years of experience), and whether a company pays above or below market price for their employees. Read a detailed breakdown of the methodology here.

Read on to find out the best healthcare companies to work for in America:

Allergan commits to environmental sustainability by using green materials, equipment, and technology whenever possible. The pharmaceutical company also coaches employees on sustainability practices through its Environmental Responsibility Program, aiming to help them improve their habits at work and at home.

10. Abbott Laboratories

Headquarters:Abbott Park, Illinois

Experienced median pay: $93,500

High job satisfaction: 73% of employees

9. St. Jude Medical

Headquarters:St. Paul, Minnesota

Experienced median pay: $85,700

High job satisfaction: 74% of employees

At the medical-devices manufacturing company, employees are encouraged to take advantage of the LiveWell Program, which lets them get on-site health screenings and free health assessments. PayScale notes that 18% of St. Jude Medical employees reported low job stress — one of the best scores for a company ranked in the top 50.

There are plenty of people who could take the seat next to Kelly Ripa on "Live."

For the second time in four years, the syndicated show is going to whittle down a pool of people to find the perfect morning sidekick. And with Michael Strahan leaving early amid what seems like behind-the-scenes drama for the daytime show, the clock is ticking.

The drill will be the same as before: Ripa will share the show with a revolving door of guest cohosts. It took months and about 60 contenders before "Live" landed on former NFL player Michael Strahan in 2012.

The stakes are high. "Live" is currently the No. 2 syndicated show in daytime TV. And all involved, from producer ABC to the local affiliates, don't want that to sink any lower.

Naturally, there will be repeat contenders from the last round and new people who express their desire to fill the role this time around (we see you, Bow Wow).

Here's a look at some strong potential candidates who could take the seat next to Ripa:

(Note: Since the show has always kept the duo to a male and a female, we're looking at only men for Ripa's sidekick.)

Anderson Cooper

CNN host Anderson Cooper is reportedly one of Kelly Ripa's top choices for the spot. They're good friends, so the chemistry would already be there. Plus, he's definitely proven on his show "Anderson Cooper 360" that he has a lot of opinions. And despite earlier statements to the contrary, and the fact that he has plenty to do as it is, it sounds like he's actually open to the idea.

"Look, I'm very happy at CNN,"Cooper told Andy Cohen on Bravo's "Watch What Happens Live.""It would be a dream to work with Kelly, but nobody's offering anything, so..."

Andy Cohen

Andy Cohen is reportedly Kelly Ripa's other top pick to replace Strahan. Again, they're very close friends, and Cohen clearly stays up on the news for his late-night show "Watch What Happens Live."

The problem is he may not want to do a late-night show and then wake up to do an early daytime show, too. And he's very entrenched in Bravo as an executive producer on the "Real Housewives" franchise and future projects, such as the upcoming pop-culture history show "Then & Now with Andy Cohen."

D. L. Hughley

Comedian D. L. Hughley would be a hilarious addition to "Live." But he also has some pretty good hosting chops, having fronted shows for BET, CNN, and shows on both New York radio and satellite radio. Like Strahan, Hughley was also in the cohost rotation in 2012 after Regis Philbin retired.

If you feel a twinge of jealousy each time you read about another successful person who wakes up at 4 a.m. to meditate, jog, read a novel, and eat two grapefruits, take heart.

You don't have to add three leisurely hours to your morning routine to be happy or productive.

In fact, plenty of the habits that can help you start your day take five minutes or less.

Several of those habits are listed under the Quora thread, "What can I do in 5 minutes in the morning to make my whole day better?"

Below, find some of the simplest routines to tackle your day feeling refreshed and ready to tackle whatever challenges come your way.

SEE ALSO: 7 things not to do when you first wake up

1. Write down three things you're grateful for

Quora user Nela Canovic suggests writing down three things you're grateful for every morning.

"Think about what you already have in your life," she writes. "Don't focus only on material things (such as a car or computer), but rather think in more simple or basic terms." For example, you might express gratitude for friends, family, or your education.

This strategy is similar to the "three good things" exercise recommended by Martin Seligman, a professor of psychology at the University of Pennsylvania and one of the founders of the positive psychology movement.

Seligman and colleagues advise people to take time each night to write down three positive developments that happened that day, along with an explanation for why they did. You can, however, easily adapt this exercise for the morning and think about three things you're grateful for in general.

2. Think about what would make today great

Canovic recommends another, more prospective exercise: "Write one sentence about something that, if it were to happen, would make you feel like today will be a positive, productive, unique day."

It can be something as simple as going to bed before midnight or spending an hour doing something you love, she says.

Once you figure out exactly what would make you feel happy and accomplished, you can go about making it happen.

3. Meditate

Science suggests meditation has myriad benefits, from helping you deal with stress and negative emotions, to boosting your memory, to strengthening your immune system.

But meditation doesn't necessarily mean sitting in silence for hours on end. As Ariel Banayan points out, "sitting for five minutes to detach from the thoughts of your mind will have a profound impact on your day."

If you're unsure how to get started, the UCLA Mindful Awareness Research Center offers some free guided meditations, some of them five minutes or shorter.

If you've been waiting for American automakers to step-up their game and start producing truly incredible vehicles, wait no longer.

If you weren't aware, right now, America has some of the most impressive performance vehicles in the world.

It's time to take advantage of them. 

If you could drive the Ford Mustang GT350R with your eyes closed, you would have no idea that it's a Mustang.

It handles incredibly well and has engineering that some top-line European sports cars don't even have. Its power is inviting yet sinister, and it's even better than its American competition.

Best of all, at just around $61,000, it's not horrifically overpriced. 

The Ford GT350R is one heck of a car.

Enthusiasts were waiting for the new Ford Focus RS for years. When it was finally shown off to the world, no one was disappointed.

Does a hatchback with 350 horsepower and something called 'Drift Mode' sound cool to you?

Because it should.

Even though the new Focus RS will actually be built in Saarlouis, Germany, it still ranks as one of the most impressive cars that an American automaker has marketed in recent time. 

It's exciting, handles impressively, can be used every day, and it actually looks good.

For about $36,000, this the hatchback to buy.

Unless the VW Golf R is more your style. 

If you can't swing the Focus RS money, Ford's Fiesta ST amazing as well.

The Ford Fiesta ST comes in at right around $21,000. For that, you get a quick, nimble, and practical little hatchback that will absolutely blow your mind.

You don't really understand how capable the Fiesta ST is until you drive it.

From the outside, it looks like a tall but still small, little European-looking hatchback. It doesn't look like anything that anyone could have fun with on a country backroad or that could be driven successfully around a race track. But it can and it is.

It's not too much car. There isn't too much power. It's not luxurious or built with awfully-low quality. It's just a good, fun all-around car.

The illegal wildlife trade is one of the largest criminal enterprises on the planet.

In fact, the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime ranks wildlife trafficking alongside the drug trade, arms dealing, and human trafficking in terms of illicit profits, which are estimated to be between $8 and $10 billion a year.

Animals are sold as pets, consumed as delicacies, and used to create traditional medicines all around the globe.

Trafficking serves as one of the biggest sources of funding for organized crime.

Google may have done away with its notoriously impossible brainteaser interview questions, but doesn't mean you can expect an interview there to be a breeze.

In fact, people who have interviewed with the No. 1 employer in America rate the process as one of the most difficult out there, scoring it's level of difficulty a 3.4 out of 5 on Glassdoor. This is more difficult than otherbest companies to work for like Facebook, Microsoft, and Salesforce.

Less than half of states in the US require that students at public high schools take a personal finance class before they graduate.

At the end of the day, many of us are never taught money basics — we simply learn through trial and error upon entering the "real world."

Here are 15 essential money concepts to grasp that may have slipped through the cracks in grade, middle, and high school.

How to pay for college

"We spend tons of time helping kids write essays on why they want to go to college — we teach them how to apply and get into college, but we never teach them how to pay for it," says Jean Wilczynski,financial adviser at Exencial Wealth Advisors. "It's just a black box of financial aid."

In 2013, a full 70% of college students graduated with debt, averaging $30,000 in student loans each — and a shocking number of students are completely unaware that they have loan debt.

It's crucial to understand what your debt repayment schedule is going to look like and how long you'll be paying back loans after college, Wilczynski tells Business Insider: "Think about that in terms of what you think your salary is going to be. If you're taking on debt to go to college to pursue a particular career, does that amount of debt make sense for what the actual income is going to be for that career field? If not, think about other options of doing work at a lower-cost school. There are other choices besides student loans that we don't teach."

Your salary isn't your take-home pay

Don't forget to factor in taxes.

"People don't realize that their salary isn't their take-home pay," Wilczynski tells Business Insider. "You have all of these taxes and it can be sticker shock when you get your first paycheck. People make the mistake of thinking, 'Oh I'm making $50,000, so I should get this amount each paycheck,' but it's not even close to that!"

What a credit score is and how to build good credit

Your credit score, which you can check as often as you want through free sites like Credit Karma, Credit.com, or Credit Sesame, is a three-digit number between 301 and 850 based on how you've used credit in the past.

Generally, you don't want your credit score to dip below 650, as potential creditors in the future will consider you less trustworthy and less deserving of the best rates.

While often overlooked or forgotten about, building good credit early on is essential. It will allow you to make big purchases in the future, such as insurance, a car, or a home. Start by selecting a good credit card and then focus on establishing smart credit card habits. 

Venezuela has already earned the dubious title of "world's most miserable country," and while that moniker is based strictly on economic conditions, as measured by the Cato Institute, recent weeks have seen the country shriveled by drought and inundated by flooding, proving that both working and living in Venezuela are increasingly difficult tasks.

While Venezuela has seen shortages of a variety of basic consumer goods and medical products, recent drought-related shortages of water and electricity have added a level of severity to the country's economic and social crises.

Persistent drought conditions have forced down the water level at Guri dam, a massive facility in eastern Venezuela that supplies 60% of the country's energy and most of the energy used in Caracas, the nation's capital. Venezuela, which has the largest oil reserves in the world, is heavily reliant on hydropower for domestic energy.

When the final part of was finished in 1986, the Guri dam was the largest hydroelectrical station in the world, according to The Washington Post. It was build as part of an effort to diversify the country's energy consumption, relying on hydroelectric at home and shipping the country's vast oil wealth abroad.

Churning out over 10 gigawatts of power, the Guri dam puts out five times the power produced by the Hoover Dam, according to The Post.

“Guri dam provides 75% of the power generation for Caracas, so the capital — previously shielded from issues such as outages and rationing due to its political importance — is extremely vulnerable,” the Eurasia Group, a global research and consultancy firm, said in a March 21 report.

High job satisfaction: 85% of employees

Employees at green-energy company NRG can take advantage of benefits like college scholarships, rewards for outstanding work, and discounts on appliances and services to make their homes more sustainable, such as solar-panel installation, smart thermostats, and electric vehicles. The company's Houston campus is LEED-certified, and the Princeton headquarters will receive a number of upgrades to make it more environmentally friendly.

48. New York Life Insurance

Headquarters:New York, New York

Experienced median pay: $76,000

High job satisfaction: 76% of employees

New York Life Insurance, one of the largest insurance firms in the world, offers a number of programs to support diversity within the company. It has seven employment-resource groups created to promote inclusion and "a sense of collaboration in the community," including The Women's Initiative, which fosters career development for the company's female employees, who comprise 57% of the company.

In 2013, my article "13 Things Mentally Strong People Don't Do" went viral. It attracted more than 20 million views on Forbes.com and and Business Insider alone.

My list was also featured on other websites, like Success, Psychology Today, and The Huffington Post, making it impossible to know exactly how many people read those 600 words.

As a psychotherapist and college psychology instructor, I'd spent over a decade teaching people about mental strength.

It's also a topic I feel passionate about on a personal level (watch my TEDx talk to hear what inspired me to write the article).

Creating a mega-viral article was a dream come true — and being able to turn it into a best-selling book was definitely the highlight. It's led to a lot of other opportunities too — the Mental Strength e-course, speaking engagements, and a second book deal with a major publisher.

Since my article went viral, many other writers have created similar headlines. And while some of their articles offer valuable and accurate insight into mental strength and mental toughness, others miss the mark.

Decades of research have gone into studying the way people can grow stronger by changing the way they think, feel, and behave. So I wanted to take the opportunity to clear up some of the biggest misconceptions some writers are spreading about mental strength.

Here are five truths about mental strength:

SEE ALSO: After training with a Navy Seal, an entrepreneur explains why everyone should have a 'f--- it list'

1. Mentally strong people are OK saying they can't do something.

Mental strength doesn't come with super powers. There are plenty of things mentally strong people can't do — and they're not afraid to admit it. But sadly, I see a lot of articles that claim "Mentally strong people never say, 'I can't.'"

In reality, mentally strong people are happy to acknowledge their weaknesses. When it makes sense to work on them, they do. When it's something they aren't particularly motivated to change, they don't worry about it.

2. Developing mental strength doesn't mean you can't give up.

Lots of articles claim mentally strong people never give up. But just like everyone else, mentally strong people's goals change.

When the cost of working toward something starts to outweigh the benefit, they give up and move on. They're strong enough to do that.

They don't waste time working to solve a problem that doesn't have a solution. And they aren't so prideful that they have to keep going, no matter the cost. That's because they're mentally strong — not just acting tough.

3. There aren't any specific diets that will help you build mental strength.

There are lots of cringeworthy recommendations about what you should consume to build mental strength. But mentally strong people are just as diverse in their diets as any other group.

Some drink coffee. Some are vegetarians. Some like cereal for breakfast. So don't believe any articles that say you have to consume certain foods if you want to build mental strength.

While there is a clear connection between maintaining a healthy body and a healthy mind, there's more than one way to stay healthy. What mentally strong people eat for breakfast is far less important than their daily health habits. Just like there are a lot of different diets that help people grow physical muscle, there are a lot of different ways to build mental muscle.

The Republican and Democratic presidential primaries are heading into the home stretch of some of the lengthiest battles in both parties' recent histories.

There are signals on both sides that the race could drag on until the final primary day of June 7, when California votes. And for Republicans, at least, the fight could go to the convention floor in July.

Five candidates officially remain in the race — though only two have mathematically realistic chances of claiming their parties' respective nominations before their conventions.

Two of the three remaining GOP candidates — Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas and Gov. John Kasich of Ohio — have mathematically impossible odds of obtaining enough delegates before the convention.

On the Democratic side, Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont needs a seemingly improbable turn of events, given Democratic primary rules that give more of an edge to the frontrunner at this point.

Nevertheless, they are all powering on, looking to stop frontrunners Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton.

With all that in mind, we take another look at who has the best chance of making it to the White House to succeed President Barack Obama.

Our rankings are based on the Real Clear Politics averages of national polls and those in states voting in coming contests (Pennsylvania, Maryland, Connecticut, and Indiana). We also factored in the candidates' delegate counts and their relative paths to the nomination, as well as their momentum (or lack thereof) over the past few weeks.

Here's a look at where all the candidates stand.

All poll results as of Monday.

SEE ALSO: Meet the average people who could determine whether Donald Trump wins the GOP nomination

5. John Kasich, Republican, Ohio governor

Kasich picked up momentum last month with a win in his home state's primary.

But the road before, and since, has been virtually empty for the Ohio governor. He has no chance to accumulate enough delegates to clinch the nomination before the convention, so he's banking that he can win a floor fight.

Kasich's rivals have seemed to grow increasingly frustrated with his presence in the race — Trump said he would "automatically win" if Kasich were to drop out of the race. Cruz, meanwhile, has shifted his stance on Kasich's presence in the race, teaming up with the Ohio governor in a last-ditch effort to stop Trump.

Those who talk up Kasich say he is a successful governor of a swing state with a record to point to and clear bipartisan appeal. He also has abundant experience from nearly two decades in Congress, including foreign-policy areas and his time as chair of the US House budget committee.

But that same bipartisan brand has hurt Kasich with the GOP base. He is to the left of most GOP candidates on immigration reform, and he expanded the federal Medicaid program under the Affordable Care Act — two issues that could doom him with hard-line conservatives.

4. Bernie Sanders, Democrat, senator from Vermont

Sanders had perhaps the best single day of his campaign late last month, romping to landslide victories in Alaska, Hawaii, and Washington. But he got tripped up in New York, with a bigger-than-expected loss to Clinton in her adopted home state.

And he faces challenging odds — he needs to win about 71% of the remaining pledged delegates to overtake Clinton in the pledged-delegate count, according to NBC.

Moving forward, the map doesn't look especially favorable. In a system in which delegates are allocated proportionally, it will be hard for him to make up real ground in large states like California, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Maryland.

3. Ted Cruz, Republican, senator from Texas

Cruz always had favorable ground in Wisconsin. After that, the map was supposed to get more challenging — and it has.

Late April has overwhelmingly featured Northeast and mid-Atlantic contests more favorable to Trump — including delegate-rich New York, which Trump won with more than 60% of the vote. With more states from the regions on the map to come, Indiana's May 3 primary is looking more and more like a must-win for the Texas senator.

Still, Cruz inspires a flood of enthusiasm among the GOP base, and he may be the best-positioned candidate from within the political sphere to back up the notion that he's not a typical politician, that he is the outsider the base wants despite his day job in Washington.

Just because we get older doesn't mean the life lessons we learn from children's books are any less important. 

We asked Louise Lareau, the managing librarian at the Children's Center at the New York Public Library, to recommend the books that every adult should read again.

Here are 19 of the most compelling. You can see more recommendations at the New York Public Library's website here.

"Anne of Green Gables" by L.M. Montgomery

"Anne of Green Gables" is a bestseller for good reason. The fiery, independent red-haired orphan captures the adventurous spirit of childhood.

The book makes you see the magic of the world around us in nature, friends, and neighbors through Anne’s eyes.

"Charlotte’s Web" by E.B. White

Who doesn’t remember the story of Wilbur, the tiny runt piglet, and Charlotte, the wise old spider?

Charlotte’s beautiful webs with words save Wilbur from slaughter and thrust him into the limelight of the county fair. The witty, compassionate book teaches adults and children alike about friendship and loss.

"The Giver" by Lois Lowry

This haunting 1994 Newbery Medal winner is worth a reread to revisit the utopian society of The Community. Everything is in black and white — except for the Giver’s memories.

Gradually, the reader learns about the price of conformity. "The ending of this story still has people arguing over 20 years later," Lareau says.

In a note Friday, Lee highlighted six of his strategies and calls that are beating the market right now.

"6 of 6 of our strategies are outperforming the S&P 500 quarter to date, by 170bp-510bp," he wrote to clients.

Meanwhile, the stock market is trapped in a tight range, and has been for a while now. 

Of course, Lee is one of the biggest bulls on Wall Street, and thinks stocks will reach all-time highs by the summer. But he says these six strategies are market-agnostic, meaning they will do well even if stocks keep going nowhere or fall.

However, they would benefit more from a broader rally. Lee included the average second-quarter performance of these strategies on an absolute and relative basis. 

Through Friday, the S&P 500 was up 1% year-to-date. 

Here are Lee's strategies:

Laggards become Leaders

Explanation: Last September, Lee pointed out that the worst-performing stocks heading into the August sell-off outperform in the post-correction period. Sectors included energy, materials, industrials and technology. 

Execution of strategy: Long leisure products, trucking, healthcare services, life science tools. Avoid gold stocks and utilities. 

Examples of representative companies: Amerco (parent company of U-Haul), Bio-Rad Laboratories

Absolute performance: 4%

Relative performance: 3.3%

Quality spread rally (BB vs CCC)

Explanation:  "As credit conditions ease, the quality spread is similarly narrowing—the spread between CCC (speculative grade) and BB (higher end HY) bonds," Lee wrote in a note. "This has been historically correlated with improved relative performance of small-cap (vs large)"

Execution of strategy: Buy small-caps over large-caps. 

Examples of representative companies: Russell 2000 companies over S&P 500. 

Absolute performance: 2.3%

Relative performance: 1.7%

USD outright weakens

Explanation: "The notion that the U.S. dollar (USD) will continue to appreciate is a widely held consensus view, based on sound economic theory — interest rate differentials suggest higher rate currency appreciates," Lee wrote. "However, there are several reasons to believe this is not enough to sustain USD gains and the USD could be flatter than market expectations in 2016 (and even outright decline)."

Execution of strategy: Buy stocks with an inverse correlation to the dollar, found in the energy, materials, and telecoms sectors. 

Examples of representative companies: Fossil, Caterpillar, Dover, Exxon Mobil

Absolute performance: 3.4%

Relative performance: 2.8%

Happiness. Such a simple word. Such an important word. Happiness matters for everyone, even if what it means varies from person to person.

Despite the differences in what defines happiness for each person, there is consistency in actions you can take to increase your happiness.

In the guest post below from my friend and colleague Neil Pasricha, he shares 5 simple but powerful actions you can take to get started right now.

Neil is the New York Times best selling author of "The Book of Awesome," and what follows is a sampling from his exciting new book, "The Happiness Equation: Want Nothing + Do Anything = Have Everything."

Not only does Neil incorporate scientific research in an easy to read manner, he began this inspirational journey based on his own process of self-discovery (see more in his powerful TED talk that has been viewed nearly 3 million times). Enjoy!

As I travel around the US on tour for my new book "The Happiness Equation," I can't help but notice how happiness is really lacking right now.

When I studied the US Declaration of Independence back in high school, I remember being really struck by the phrase:

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness."

I remember thinking that it was interesting the rights being promised weren't life, liberty, and happiness. They were life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. It was the pursuit itself, not necessarily the achievement that was being held up as worth protecting at all costs.

But how do we get there?

Well, research by positive psychology leaders such as Sonja Lyubimorsky show that happiness really is a choice. Our intentional activities have four times the effect on our happiness as what happens to us. Put another way? If your candidate doesn't win the election, a great percentage of your happiness can still come from within.

But if you're staying put then let me leave you with five simple exercises that can help you be happier. They're all scientifically proven and any of these can be done in less than twenty minutes a day. Do it for a few weeks and you'll quickly develop a new happiness habit:

1. Three walks a week

Researchers found that the more physically active people are, the greater their general feelings of excitement and enthusiasm. Just a half an hour of brisk walking three times a week improves happiness.

Another recent study showed how three thirty-minute brisk walks or jogs can even improve recovery from clinical depression. Yes, clinical depression. Results were stronger than studies using medication or studies using exercise and medication combined.

2. The 20-minute replay

Writing for twenty minutes about a positive experience dramatically improves happiness. Why? Because you actually relive the experience as you're writing it and then relive it every time you read it.

Your brain sends you back. In a University of Texas study called "How Do I Love Thee? Let Me Count the Words," researchers had one member of a couple write about their relationship for twenty minutes three times a day. Compared to the test group, the couple was more likely to engage in intimate dialogue afterward, and the relationship was more likely to last.

3. Five random acts of kindness

 Carrying out five random acts of kindness a week dramatically improves your happiness. We don't naturally think about paying for someone's coffee, mowing our neighbor's lawn, or writing a thank-you note to our apartment building security guard at Christmas. But Sonja Lyubomirsky did a study asking Stanford students to perform five random acts of kindness over a week.

Not surprisingly, they reported much higher happiness levels than the test group. Why? They felt good about themselves! People appreciated them. In his book "Flourish," Professor Martin Seligman says that "we scientists have found that doing a kindness produces the single most reliable momentary increase in well-being of any exercise we have tested

Apple is one of the most prestigious companies in the world, so it's not surprising to learn that getting a job there isn't easy.

Like many other tech companies, Apple asks both technical interview questions based on your past work experience and some mind-boggling puzzles.

We combed through posts on Glassdoor to find some of the toughest interview questions candidates have been asked.

Some require solving tricky math problems, while others are simple but vague enough to keep you on your toes.
