A few years ago, as part of the research for my first book , I asked a group of centenarians for the advice they'd most like to give to their younger selves. One of them offered this piece of wisdom: "The most damning
In 2004, a Finnish-American photographer named Arno Minkkinen gave the commencement speech at the New England School of Photography. In the speech, he offered a powerful thought experiment: Imagine for a moment that you
In 1918, German theoretical physicist Max Planck won the Nobel Prize for his discovery of energy quanta. After winning the prize, he went on a tour, giving lectures at universities and institutions around the country on
"No unforced errors." At a recent speaking event, I was asked by an audience member to share one piece of advice I wish I could tell my younger self. Specifically, they asked for the non-obvious advice I've found most di
Most people end the day exhausted but can't point to a single thing they meaningfully moved forward. The problem isn't how much you're working -- it's the type of work filling your hours. In this piece, I break down a si
105.5. That's how many laps you have to run around the first lane of a regulation outdoor track to cover the 26.2 miles of a marathon. And, when I arrived at my local high school track last Friday at 4:45am, that was exa
"Just be consistent." By now, you've undoubtedly heard this advice countless times. So much so that it may even induce an eye roll or sigh. Yes, it’s true, consistency is the difference maker. The common thread behind ev
In 1966, a University of Texas psychologist named Elliot Aronson ran an experiment to examine the role of imperfection on human connection. Aronson recruited 48 college students and had them listen to an audio recording
A few days ago, I was reminded by a reader that May 14 was the five year anniversary of my first Curiosity Chronicle newsletter. Sending that first newsletter, which went out to a few thousand people who had been receivi
In 2002, Harvard psychologists Daniel Gilbert and Jane Ebert designed a series of studies to test the role of optionality on happiness and human satisfaction. In the first study, the students in a Harvard photography cla
A razor is a rule of thumb that simplifies decision making. The term comes from philosophy. A principle that let you quickly cut away unlikely explanations or unnecessary steps was called a razor. Razors aren't perfect.
In 1902, a 19-year-old cadet in an Austrian military academy was silently becoming a bystander in his own life. Franz Xaver Kappus felt trapped. On the track for a life as a military officer, but unsure if he wanted it i
My son turns four years old this week. And if I'm being honest, I don't know where the time went. Everyone says this, and I spent most of my life rolling my eyes at it, but my goodness, it goes by fast. With parenting, p
Last weekend, I had the joy of catching up for a quiet dinner in Omaha with a mentor and friend, Apple CEO Tim Cook. He recently announced that he would be transitioning out of the CEO role at the company after a 15 year
Over the weekend, I made what has become an annual pilgrimage to Omaha, Nebraska to attend the Berkshire Hathaway Annual Meeting. The event, which is nominally a business update on Warren Buffett's famed holding company,
We all fall into the same trap: measuring what's easy instead of what's meaningful, clinging to routines we know instead of adapting ones that work, and asking the questions we can answer instead of the ones we're avoidi
When I was 12 years old, I tried out for a baseball all-star team in our area. I really wanted to make this team. The tryouts were my first adventure beyond the confines of my small town. An opportunity to see how I stac
The most famous sculpture in history was almost never created… In 1464, the Opera del Duomo—the committee overseeing the cathedral in Florence—commissioned a massive statue to adorn the cathedral’s roofline. They sourced
A few weeks ago, I had the unique opportunity to attend a small author’s retreat hosted by Atomic Habits author James Clear. To be honest, it was a bit of a ”pinch-me” moment. I was in a room with a group of 15 authors I
