We all have hard seasons. Stages where the ground on which we stand seems to crumble, nothing seems to be in our favor and the winter seems endless. To know pain, to endure suffering and to feel as though the trial will never end is to be fully human. And to become most intimate with life itself. “A bad day for the ego is a great day for the soul”, though. From what I can tell—and who truly knows the way the world works—that which appears to unmake us is the very season that rebuilds us. Our ...

I recently re-read Meditations by Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius [a book I often carry with me] and I recorded this episode about a paragraph that truly spoke to me, for you to consider—as you optimize your game and escalate your life. I'm truly super excited over the upcoming release of my new book The Robot and the Gardener: Being Fully Human in an Artificial Age (Penguin Random House). It's a parable and it's different (by far!) from any book I've ever written. You can join the list here if...

It's a parable and it's different (by far!) from any book I've ever written. You can join the lis...
Our culture has pushed and trained and brainwashed so many of us to chase money and watches and things so we become “rich.” It’s sad. Because people get hurt (by getting nice things and losing their soul along the way). And this brainwashing is designed to make us think that if we exhaust our energy and spend our lifeforce on this pursuit, we’ll get to a place where we wake up happy. It’ll never happen. Never. Ever. I’ve seen it time and time again with the...
Human beings are born into clarity yet programmed into fear. …we are taught to ignore our instincts and overindex on logic (which is simply what the majority tells us is possible). And yet your instinct is wiser than your intellect. The great symphonies, artworks and social movements were not made through cold, hard logic but via good-hearted intuition. The best moves I’ve made in my life have been made when I listened to the calls of intuition over the voices of reason — trusting the ...
