Yvon Chouinard’s Valuable Insights in the Art of Living

What a mountain climber can teach us about pursuing excellence

Shawn Anchor shares the benefits of a positive psychology, tips for leaders, and great advice for anyone wanting to improve their outlook.

My favorites from the year's big stack of books, including celebrity auto-biographies, terrific fiction, and inspiring true stories.

Approach things lightly and with a playful attitude to add humor to your interactions. Sometimes just laughing more is enough.

Amazing inventions and great success, but James Dyson also struggled with many obstacles, challenges, and a few failures (the Ballbarrow?)

Actionable lessons on how to share information clearly so that it spreads - bring an idea to life through storytelling.

These are my favorite reads so far in 2021, including some fiction, a better way to practice, and using time more efficiently.

Talent is not what carries people to become top performer. Instead, deliberate practice leads the upper levels of performance.

Lots of actionable advice for learning a new language (or reviewing one), including research-based methods to improve memorization.
