Read The PostEvery day of our lives includes cognitive peaks and valleys. The timing may be a little different for everyone, but they exist. And rather than fight it—rather than trying to “push through” the valleys—we can learn to work with them. We can schedule our days to work with our natural cycles. We can plan things around human nature.
Timing may not be everything, but it’s something. If we can figure out our timing, we can use it to our advantage and get the most out of our days.

Read The PostActual thinking is a lost art. Our modern brains are distracted by social media, loud advertising, and other engineered distractions.
This book highlights these problems and teaches us how to ignore them. It offers ideas for how to think before making decisions or forming opinions. And it’s summed up best in one short quote: “Give it five minutes.” In other words, don’t make snap decisions. Take a few minutes to step back and think first.

Read The PostAs humans, we think we’re logical and rational. We think we’re in complete control of the things we do.
But we’re not. We let emotions drive our actions all the time–even when we think we’re being rational. It’s human nature. And it’s not random – it’s predictable.
This book is filled with examples and studies that will make you question everything you do. It’s a must-read.

Read The PostIn this short, swift-kick-in-the-pants call to action, Steven Pressfield gives advice on how to beat down The Resistance.
The Resistance is that voice inside us that talks us out of doing things. It tells us we aren’t quite ready. We’re not good enough. We might fail, so it’s better to play it safe. People may even laugh at us.
This short read gives actionable steps to quiet that inner voice and make a leap.
