To be silent the whole day long, see no newspaper, hear no radio, listen to no gossip, be thoroughly and completely lazy, thoroughly and completely indifferent to the fate of the world is the finest medicine a man can give himself. ~Henry Miller, The Colossus of Maroussi

Marvin Bower built McKinsey & Company through words. With memos, letters, speeches, and books that brought clarity to complex ideas and aligned people around shared values. I never had the privilege to meet him before he passed away. But his presence continues to be felt

When I joined McKinsey 28 years ago, one name that quickly became familiar was Barbara Minto—along with the Pyramid Principle she created to help consultants structure their communications for greater impact. Minto discovered something powerful while editing reports at McKinsey

After 28 years at McKinsey, I’ve seen one thing consistently set great work apart: the ability to solve hard problems. And here’s something I realized early on —writing is problem-solving too. Every time you write, you’re taking disorganized, half-formed ideas and turning them

This week, two of the seven laureates of the Queen Elizabeth Prize for Engineering stood out for their incredible accomplishments and similarly compelling back stories—Dr. Fei-Fei Li and Jensen Huang. First, both are Chinese: Fei-Fei was born in Beijing; Jensen was born in

A decade ago, researchers at Princeton found that students who took notes by hand remembered and understood more than those who typed on laptops. Why? Writing forces us to slow down, distill ideas, and engage with them rather than simply transcribe words. Now, scientists in

Some of my best ideas arrive while I’m walking. Not at a desk, not facing a screen—just walking. Movement propels thought. When you walk, blood flows faster, oxygen floods in, and the brain’s neural networks fire up. Research confirms this isn’t just feel-good wisdom—it’s

If Elon Musk can bring sight to the blind, it will outdo every one of his near-miraculous achievements to date. With all of the ‘bad news’ that circulates to drive your attention, it is important to be reminded that we have so much more to be optimistic about.
