“The psychology behind a holiday that crosses borders.” ——- What is it about Halloween that captures our imagination, regardless of where we live?

“Why consistency beats motivation in business and fitness.” ——- Whether you’re building a business, working toward a fitness goal, or simply trying to improve your daily routine, there’s one ingredient that often matters more than enthusiasm…consistency! We’ve all experienced those mornings when motivation is nowhere to be found. The gym doesn’t sound appealing, the workday […]
“The surprising connection between self-control, independence and living life on your own terms.” ——- We tend to think of personal freedom as the ability to do whatever we want, whenever we want. But what if genuine freedom comes from having the discipline to occasionally say no? Whether it involves managing our finances, maintaining our health, […]

I’m looking forward to seeing people I haven’t seen in decades, swapping stories and undoubtedly discovering that some of our memories don’t match quite as well as […]

As young stockbrokers who were changing firms, we were required to travel to Wall Street for additional training. During off hours, like most visitors, we toured New […]
“When convenience feels like surveillance.” ——- Have you ever had your wife show you a nice shirt on her phone that she thought you might want to buy—and the next thing you know, that same shirt, or something remarkably similar, pops up on your Facebook feed? Well, it happened to me today. My first reaction […]
