I wish I had this human tech decades ago. It would have made my life experience so much better. In so many ways I’ve lived such a blessed life, and we all have so much to be thankful for, but there were plenty of years where it didn’t feel enough this way. All those years …
Have you wondered why someone with so little can be so happy? While someone with so much can feel so poor? Why one person can be content with what they have? While many others achieving more, more, more will never be fulfilled? What’s going on here? Two lives It might be obvious to you. But …
A late forties executive, he shook his head and laughed. That’s a gift and curse of FaceTime. For most years we’ve worked together I couldn’t see his responses. I’d just told him the name of a song that has been playing in my head recently. It’s old, from 1984, I doubt I’ve even heard it …
Jeff Bezos did something crazy. Years before the Internet was mainstream he decided to go after it. Unlike a college kid with nothing to lose, he had a lot to lose. He had a good, stable job on Wall Street. Recently married with a new home, he had reasons to be risk averse. But imagining …
Gratitude is an important practice, right? You know this because you’re often told it! But why? Why is it important to be grateful? This seems obvious, doesn’t it?

You know something strange I’ve discovered? It’s that we’re NEVER really seeking what we think we want. Not saying you don’t actually want it. I’m saying that behind that “thing” is MERELY a feeling.

Yes, I know that phrase might now have political connotations from the Obama campaign. Maybe to you that’s a good thing. Politics ISN’T my thing.

Have you wondered why someone can have so much and still feel lack? Why an attractive man or woman can feel ugly? A rich person can feel financially insecure? Someone who’s achieved enormously can fail to feel like they’ve “made it?” I’m betting like me you know plenty of these people. Maybe you are one …
I know I’m fc’g this up. A top marketer of personal development told me directly. “You’ve gotta make it seem easy,” he said. “But even that’s not enough. Effortless. That’s more like it.” The point being… Few people like to workout Many people avoid it. Others, with a more important goal, “force” themselves to show …

How are you doing? I want to share with you something real simple I’ve been deep in this week. It’s for getting yourself feeling your absolute best. You might see this as a valid goal in itself. Coz, let’s face it, if you can feel 7 out of 10, or 10 out of 10, how …
Do you know how coffee works? How about what it does to spiders as you see on the chart above? Of course most of us know how it works in you. You drink it, feel more energized for some time, then it wears off like booze. Or if you’ve habituated to it, perhaps you don’t …
This is a crucial question for a lot of people right now. Many people will be laid off and forced to get back to work.
