At the same time, events of intimidation, violence and witch hunts increase. Lukianoff and Haidt take us on an evidence-based and carefully […]

Empathy: have we taken it too far?

Distorted and short-sighted or the solution for our lives and our planet? First, I recommend that you read both of these masterful books before you judge. Paul Bloom has put the cat amongst the pigeons with one book that stands against a wave of 1,500 plus books on empathy. We have gorged on empathy. We […]

Bold

One one hand, Bold could be dismissed as manic tech-bubble hyperbole. On the other, it is the single most thorough, well-researched, and current guide to building a good business I have read in 10 years (the last great being Blue Ocean Strategy). If you want to understand the foundations, strategy, tools and sequencing of entrepreneurship […]

Altruism

Ricard is a French biologist who trained as a Buddhist monk and now bridges the worlds of contemplative practice and neurobiology. He is famous as the monk in the brain scanner but is an exceptional intellect and gentle man who I had the pleasure of spending three days with last year. Altruism is a very […]
