If you want to learn faster you have to experiment with different 'modes' of reading and learning. One of my favorites is the 'gulping' approach, where you bounce around between 4 or 5 books all in one sitting. This takes advantage of what Steven Johnson in his book, "Where Good Ideas Come From," calls "negative quarter-power scaling." This means reading twice the books doesn't just give you twice...

Americans spend 520 billion minutes a year online. That begs the billion dollar question - are these social networks bad for you? Today's Book-of-the-Day, "The Village Effect" by Susan Pinker, tries to answer that question using a fairly new scientific field called 'social neuroscience.' There is a power to face-to-face contact. It's fascinating, “Research shows that playing cards once a week or m...

Is violence ever justified? It’s a hard question.  I just saw the movie “American Sniper”. Some people are saying it’s military propaganda, while others say it’s the story of a true American hero. When I’m confronted with hard questions like these I look to people with more expertise than me. I go straight to the top. I’m fortunate enough to be friends with Dr. David Buss and he sent me the fifth...

There’s only one way for you to rise up out of the ashes in any area of your life. And it’s to combat a disease, a mindset that has poisoned the minds of millions. If there’s one thing that’s sure to kill your dreams and goals in life, it’s learned helplessness. If there is one ounce of this in your brain, dig it out. Because if you don’t get rid of it it’ll grow and become a poison that stops you...

I’m not really into materialism but I have to admit fast cars are pretty fun. In business and in life it’s important to have a mix of selfish and unselfish goals. Why is capitalism so successful? It’s based around the first cognitive bias – the reward bias. Adam Smith says that you have a reward mechanism built into your mind in terms of what you want to buy and what you want to consume. But more...

I am not really religious but it's the holiday season.   So I decided for today's Book Of The Day I would read the Bible, specifically the Book of Proverbs.   The wise man says in Proverbs 22:7, "...the borrower is the slave of the lender."   How true this is.    Throughout history, the lender has always been the master over the borrower.   The average person in the USA is $225,238 in debt.   They...

When I was seven years old I remember listening to some country western song on the radio and asking my mom, "Why do people always sing about love?"(At that age, I would have rather listened to songs about video games instead of how some guy misses his ex-wife).My mom answered, "Because love is important and complicated."It turns out mom was right. How we relate to other humans in love and friends...

You must innovate if you want to change your life, your bank account, and the world.   Innovation is easier said than done.   In “Zero To One” the author, Peter Thiel, opens by saying that if you are merely following and 100% mimicking other people, you will always be one step behind.

People say that to be happy you have to be unselfish.   But are they right?   Because we all know selfish and greedy people, who seem to have it all.   We have all been betrayed by someone who went on to live a seemingly perfect life.   Who went on with seemingly no consequences...   So there has to be something more to this - a more elegant explanation of the conflicts of life.   A root explation...

For today's book of the day, I chose "Man Alone with Himself" by Friedrich Nietzsche. He says that everybody aspires to be set apart from the crowd. What do you have to do to become great, to not be just another blip on the radar? In the book, Nietzsche says, "Convictions are more dangerous enemies of truth than lies." Too many people create strong convictions and stick with them without ever chal...
