The subject of this post might seem a bit strange to you: Aren’t the best apples to eat out of hand just the ones you like the taste of? While that’s true, if you’re looking to branch out of your regular rotation of apples, here’s a list of other delicious varieties you can try!

I always gravitate toward the cheese platter at buffets or cocktail parties. Who doesn’t like cheese, sweet grapes, and maybe a few slices of prosciutto or salami? While there’s zero cooking involved in a putting together a cheese platter, here’s one tiny tip about the best way to serve that big cluster of grapes that makes a big difference.

Selective with relationships. Selective with experiences. Selective with purchases. Selective with information. Selective with messages (whether they come from a title=”The Definitive Guide to Conventional Wisdom” href=”http://www.marksdailyapple.com/the-definitive-guide-to-conventional-wisdom/” target=”_blank”outside sources/a or, on occasion, a title=”The Stories We Tell Ourselves” href=”http://www.marksdailyapple.com/the-stories-we-tell-ourselves/” target=”_blank”my own head/a).

We #8220;feel good#8221; sitting on the grass. #8220;It#8217;s nice#8221; to take a walk along a forest path. The office #8220;doesn#8217;t feel right#8221; without a potted plant on the desk. Those sorts of benefits are great on a subjective level for the people experiencing them, but they aren#8217;t very persuasive to others.
