Манай дэлхийн хамгийн завгүй, чухал албыг хашдаг байсан Ерөнхийлөгч Барак Обама яагаад өдөрт нэг…
So earlier this week, as I’m walking to the grocery store, a homeless man shyly asked me if…
In my post “The Zen of Work: Making Each Moment Count,” I looked at the way that effectiveness within episodes of solo work…
Choosing is hard, because choosing means saying no.
Around 6–8 years ago I was obsessed by what experts in my field had to say about how to work. In fact sometimes I still can’t resist the urge to dabble in a conference talk or a smartly written book in the false belief it holds all…
This is a hard lesson to teach, because it usually goes in one ear and out the other. So, I’ll just start with how I…
A story for those who feel disconnected to their spirit, & want to call it home.
“You engage fanaticism with love, first, for your own sake. If you succumb to the natural temptation to greet this anger with your own anger, you’ll just spend your days consumed by bitterness and revenge. You’ll be a worse person…
If there is one thing that irritates critical thinkers, it is an over-simplified platitude which attempts to boil down the entire totality of a concept into one simple phrase. Such is the case with the so-called Golden Rule as it relates to interpersonal relationships.
“Never wish life were easier, wish that you were better.” — Jim Rohn
The entrepreneurial world we live in today often frowns on sleep as a waste of time and…
I knew a pastor who started every sermon with “This is hard.” Ouch, I was counting on him to help make some sense of life…
Stories Manifest Reality
Stories mediate conscious experience and form the basis of reality as we know it.
It’s difficult to wrap the mind around what this means exactly, and see it’s far reaching implications. It is difficult because, our minds are embedded in narratives, embedded within stories…
I think another reason is that people are becoming aware consciously or unconsciously of the impact of deliberate practice.
To govern men, you must either excel them in their accomplishments, or despise them.~ Benjamin Disraeli
No one is as good as you, even if you consent.I hope that makes sense for aspiring leaders.
I recently quit my six figure job to focus on myself. On purpose.
It took a lot of thought over a long time, conversations with my partner and family (and myself). It’s scary as hell but it is also absolutely…
Today is a beautiful day! Thinking positively takes work, but over time, it becomes second nature. There are…
Some people make complex professional systems. Others build hard web applications or high-end industrial production systems. All of these sound entirely different.
As advanced as the world has become, we’ve taken gigantic leaps back in terms of the value we…
It pays to pay attention. It pays to ask questions. It pays to take notes. It pays to communicate. It pays to apply.
You are missing the slam-dunk analogy.
How much do people pay a month to go to the gym so they look real good when they are nekkid?
So how much are they willing to pay per month to exercise their mind so it works real good when it’s nekkid?
We are not perfect. Nor are we ever going to be. This life is meant for learning, growing, striving to be better. A continuous…
On my 30th birthday, I was still shadow-boxing, battling to discover the answer to the question, “Why am I here?” I thought I was…
I’m fed up with not really going anywhere.
I’m lovingly calling you out.
This was really great!
In a previous job I experienced bullying at work which affected my mental health. At my…
Wow what an amazing article ! Your content is so well put together ! Great job!
For me birthdays often provide an opportunity to reflect on my life, goals, and feelings. I honestly think of my birthday as the beginning of a new year instead of January 1st. On birthdays we reflect on the year we had, goals we set, if we met them or fell…
If your confidence cracks when you’re feeling down or when you don’t know which way to go, then it’s not confidence.
Before we go forward, sometimes we need to go way back.
I’m not sentimental for the past; life for me has always been about moving forward, looking ahead, anticipating the next.
Very nice! I love it when people incorporate actual psychological science into their advice (in this case, I assume you’re referring to Gollwitzer’s implementation intentions). If I may, I would also suggest a technique called WOOP for strengthening the implementation intention and dealing with the inevitable obstacles in one’s path.
GO somewhere different and CREATE a new base. I got the push I needed this morning so now I’m giving it to you :) Shouts to the Orange Theory fam for SPECTAC workouts and shouts to my guy Jesse Itzler for his…
Kris, great insight. Simple. Basic. Yet incredibly powerful. Thank you.

My feet are cold. I have a slight ache in the middle of my back. My heart seems to be tightening. Is it anxiety? Caffeine? High Blood pressure. I notice I don’t want to take my blood pressure and get on that roller coaster again. But I know I…
The greatest investment that any individual can make while on earth is that which revolves around developing and improving themselves. It is evident that communities, institutions and nations around us are shaped by individuals who posses skills, the know…
Have you ever thought about sailing around the world solo, walking across America, traveling to every country in the world, learning a new language in 6 months by total immersion, or get a rejection a day for 100 days? Or do you have your own crazy dream? Maybe a quest is in your future.
Speak it. Believe it. Live it. It’s time to step into our best selves. You in? Let’s rock. #LIFEPARTY
