And that has made a world of difference. If yo...

There is a huge and gorgeous difference between peak work and useless toil. Get that difference deeply and you’re ahead of the pack (so terrifically caught up in the busyness of being very busy yet often not producing anything important and helpful).

Super fit + healthy performers are resilient, creative and excellent amid the stress of rocky times. Invest in a personal trainer (as you’ll never work out as hard alone as you will with a coach), calibrate your nutrition (more water, less sugar!), practice “news fasting” and deepen your sleep so you bring your A-Game to your craft and personal life. If you'd like to significantly increase your happiness via real-world habits and practices that I’ve previously only shared with many of the ...
