My Morning Routine for These Times
In these interesting times we inhabit, each of us bears the responsibility to do all we can to protect our strength and hope, right? I know this sentiment is unorthodox in a culture that encourages us to blame all outside of us for the way we think, feel and operate. It's ever so easy to blame the labor market and blame the economy and blame adversity for any challenges we face versus remembering that human beings have the power to rise above anything life decides to send us. As you know if y...

Be Unreasonable
The highest impact leaders all have one trait in common: they are extreme contrarians. They were seen by the majority as radicals, misfits and eccentrics. They saw what most see and thought what few think. They rejected the mass hypnosis and schooled brainwashing of society. That says that geniuses are cut from a different cloth, that your ethical ambitions should be suppressed and that your life needs to be reasonable. Makes me think of the words of George Bernard Shaw who wrote: “The reason...

Develop the Obsession of "Managed Perfectionism"
Tycoons are devoted to relentless optimization. If they are founders of a hotel chain, they just might delay the opening of a new property for two months if the marble they ordered for the restaurant is not the precise color. If they are a tech company founder, they’ll insist on getting the product to Mona-Lisa-level exquisiteness before it’s released (Steve Jobs wanted the icons on the iPhone to be so magical users would want to lick them). If they are entertainment titans they’ll be relentl...

Do THIS to Electrify Your Personal Joy
Science confirms that curiosity keeps the brain young, the heart open, and the spirit vibrant. The moment we stop learning, we begin to fade.

And we visit our aliveness when we learn and grow. My latest book “The Wealth Money Can’t Buy” is full of fresh ideas and original tools that I’m absolutely certain will cause...
