This topic came up because I was recently sitting at soccer practice. When the kids got a break, I immediately pulled out my phone and pretended that I was talking to someone. WHY? Well, I am trying to teach my son about INTRINSIC motivation. He is that kid — I think we all have one […]

It may seem weird to talk about willpower since we’re constantly saying that a successful journey cannot be solely an exercise in willpower. I stand by that — the goal is to get to a point when you don’t need willpower to live the life you’ve built. You live this way because you’ve grown to […]

Ever wondered what makes Olympians and other world-class athletes that way? How they get to the very top of human performance? What makes them different from regular Jane?
