Its principles help leaders quiet fear, focus their energy, and make wiser, more human-centered decisions in a world increasingly shaped by technology. By cultivating these ancient practices, modern executives can achieve sharper insight, steadier performance, and a deeper sense of purpose in their work....

The MacBook Air is a killer laptop, but at least it has some decent competition from the Windows side. The MacBook Pro, though' A high-powered content-creation laptop that also gets incredible battery life' There's just nothing else out there like it. That's why I was excited to review the Lenovo Yoga Pro 9i 16, one of the few Windows laptops out there that at least attempts to rival the 16-inch MacBook Pro. With a powerful CPU and discrete RTX 5050 (or up to an RTX 5060), the Yoga Pro 9i 16 has the specs to compete as one of the best laptops, even if the lackluster battery life ultimately holds it back. The Yoga Pro 9i 16 sports the same design as previous years, but it's a handsome laptop. I like the soft, rounded edges, and the entire thing is built like a tank. The basic gray color Lenovo tends to use isn't the most flattering shade, though. It's a large laptop, made for high performance, and yet it's surprisingly portable. It's ever-so-slightly thicker and heavier than the 16-inch MacBook Pro and Samsung Galaxy Book4 Ultra but not enough to make a meaningful difference. These are very similar-size laptops, for all intents and purposes....

God help us, there are so, so many Lenovo Yoga laptops out there now. There's the Yoga 9i, the Yoga Pro 9i, the Yoga Book 9i, and now this new arrival'the Yoga Slim 9i. So much Yoga. So much 9i. If you can't keep them all straight, take comfort in the fact that I can't either. The need-to-know on the Slim 9i is that it's intended as the premiere offering in this lineup, including a hip design, Copilot+ PC features, and a feature that hides the webcam behind the LCD using what's called camera-under-display (CUD) technology. (This isn't the first time we've seen this'ZTE notably had a phone several years ago with a similarly hidden selfie camera.) Before I dig deeper into that camera trick, let's talk about the rest of the package. Though it's crafted mostly from aluminum, the cover of the 14-inch laptop is made from highly reflective shimmering glass in a hue of 'Tidal Teal.' It's eye-catching but may be too flashy for some, which is probably why glass lids went out of fashion a few years back....

When it comes to choosing a yoga mat, there's more to it than meets your third eye chakra. Sourcing a stylish design might look good in a yoga class, but a mat that feels easy to move on and offers essential grip is key to perfecting your poses. From dynamic moves such as dolphin plank or crow pose to a restorative savasana at the end of your practice, using a supportive and comfortable yoga mat can make all the difference. 'Grip is important to me when deciding which mat to use so that I won't slip when the yoga session gets sweaty,' says celebrity personal trainer Peter Maciver of PMac Fitness. 'Material that feels good underhand is also crucial as I want to be able to lie down and feel relaxed and balanced. Choosing a mat with durable materials that don't easily damage after frequent use and can be easily wiped clean will also help prolong the life of the mat.' Flexibility is also something to bear in mind when deciding which yoga mat to buy. A mat that travels well and isn't too heavy to carry to class might be an important factor in your decisionmaking. Or perhaps you're after a design that you can use for Pilates, body balance, and a body pump class too' If so, look out for a versatile mat that is built to cater to all forms of exercise, not just pigeon pose....
