In the rush to feel whole, people will often add more and more goals to their plate when in reality what people often need is to add more simplicity and minimalism to their lives so they can energetically put their entire being into deepening something that is already meaningful.

When people come to us for advice, they’re rarely looking for answers. They usually want to make sure they're asking the right questions. Our job isn't to steer them in a direction. It's to help them weigh their options against their values. #MondayMotivation

Here is Rev. Wintley Phipps performing one of the most beautiful versions of Amazing Grace I have ever heard at the ceremony honoring civil rights icon and Congressman John Lewis in the U.S. Capitol Rotunda.

If at first you don’t succeed, you're in luck. Effortless excellence is a lousy teacher and a fickle friend. The achievements we savor most start with a struggle and end with hard-earned mastery. Success is sweeter—and more repeatable—if it's the product of deliberate practice.

C’mon man...Drucker and Maslow in communication with one another??? That’s some straight up Yoda meets Dumbledore action right there. #rolemodels

Thanks for the guidance and support my brother Prof. Scott Barry Kaufman ⛵. A decade ago I set out to share the science of well-being in ways that were engaging, practical, responsible, and helped make the world a better place — I’m honored to be included with these amazing exemplars! ❤️❤️❤️

Don't become so radicalized that you interpret every call for equality and fairness as "pandering to the woke mob". Don't become so radicalized that you interpret every critique of critical race theory as an act of racism. Open your mind. Open your heart. Think for yourself.

The purpose of a university is not to train skills. It's to promote the pursuit of knowledge. Higher education exists to stoke curiosity, fuel discovery, foster debate, encourage critical thinking, and develop the next generation into more sophisticated learners.

Sometimes all a person needs to hear is "I hear you". No debate, no critique, no nuance, just raw compassion. There's a time and place for intellectualism and then there's a time and place to give a fellow human who is suffering a hug, a smile, and a warm embrace.

Tokyo Olympics chief: "with a lot of women, the board meetings take so much time." Data: it's usually men who won't shut up. (1) Men tend to talk more in meetings—even if more women are there (2) Power leads men but not women to talk more (3) Men interrupt more intrusively

Perfection isn’t just impossible. It’s a counterproductive goal. Perfectionists are more likely to burn out and less likely to embrace new challenges. Success depends on high standards, not being flawless. The target is not perfection—it's excellence. tedtalks.social/WLAdam

Feeling incredibly grateful for a job I love and the amazing opportunities it brings. Inspired this week by the brilliant Dan Lerner, and Anson Dorrance as we explored the science of success and happiness.
