New feature on amix.dk: things I find interesting. This is the first edition.

One secret to a healthy life (and a great presentation): "The Japanese have a great expression concerning healthy eating habits: Hara hachi bu. Hara hachi bu means “Eat until 80% full” (literally, stomach 80%)..."
Luck and the entrepreneur, part 1: The four kinds of luck: The philosophy/psychology of luck.
Bob Thurman on happiness and becoming Buddha: Interesting TED talk about Buddhism.

Fleeing free: "They forget that not everyone has Google’s search subsidies, Yahoo’s traffic, or Apple’s hardware revenues making up for their “free” bundled software.
