Don’t get me wrong. I am fully committed to defeating Donald Trump in his bid to be President of the United States. Given the terrifying possibility that he might get the nuclear codes, there is probably nothing more important for us to do right now. Fortunately, the farther he wanders beyond reason and decency, the

When the stock market drops suddenly, as it did on Monday, and again on Tuesday, most people probably think first about their own financial position. They pore over the prognostications of experts.

When hundreds of billions of dollars disappeared from the world’s stock markets on Monday, I had to wonder just how much of that “value” was real. For if this much value can disappear so quickly, as if in a puff of smoke, what exactly was it? Value, even economic value, exists primarily in the human

Only by being in the moment will you notice the next opportunity for innovation. Many people believe that a visionary is someone who can see the big picture instantly. They imagine a genius who, almost magically, grasps a perfectly formed vision of the future. But this kind of visionary ability is rare, and as a model,

Creative problem solving? It happens only when you’re in the moment. After spending a long time struggling with a problem, you may experience a moment in which the solution just lands in your head, suddenly, as if from nowhere. An odd thing about these “Aha” moments is that, once they appear, people are astonished. They say things

Every moment gives you the chance to bounce back with resilience … better than before. Life can sometimes seem like a school of hard knocks. And the more you want out of life — in short, the more you are willing to risk — the more of these knocks you may encounter. But not everyone who gets
