No Plan B! Why?

The beauty of modern life is that we do have options. We have choices. We have the availability and opportunity to explore alternate paths in life. This gives us greater security in life. It helps to reduce stress, anxiety and depression in hard times. (more…)

Outsmarting An Economist

Steven Landsburg is an acclaimed author and professor of economics who in this interview dares us to try to outsmart an economist? He wrote his new book, Can You Outsmart an Economist? to inspire and show readers how to do just that by expanding the way you think about decision making and problem-solving.

We discuss the “why” behind economics which he suggests is all about exploring the hidden why or motives behind our behaviours and decisions in daily life. He shares several puzzles from his book aimed to exercise our brain, using logic and problem-solving ability to view things from unique perspectives. It is an enjoyable and entertaining view through the lens of an economist – challenging us to think differently about the decisions we make and what we do. (more…)

Atomic Habits

Written by Leigh Martinuzzi

James Clear in on a mission to assist others to make gradual, 1%, improvements, every day. His belief is that one does not rise to the level of their goals but rather falls to the level of their systems.

As a travelling photographer, professional weightlifter and now a respected expert on habit formation James says that many of us are more likely to admit defeat and succumb to self-blame when what they truly desire to achieve in life just isn’t happening.

Akimbo with Seth Godin

Written by Leigh Martinuzzi 

Seth Godin is a bit of a genius in the marketing and entrepreneurial space. He even has his own Wikipedia page which, surprisingly enough, was a topic of conversation from season three, episode one – The Deletionists. He has primarily been involved in start-up businesses including his work for Yoyodyne, a very successful marketing company that helps companies promote their products and services in unique ways.

He is also a prolific blogger and author. According to his Wikipedia page, he has published 18 books, and let’s assume this is accurate. I’ve read a couple and have his latest one on the desk ready to read. His new book is This Is Marketing. As I said, he is a bit of a marketing genius. The first book I read of his was Purple Cow – a book that teaches businesses and entrepreneurs how to stand out from the crowd and how to gain attention in an unobtrusive manner. It’s well worth a read. (more…)

 Keep Moving Forward

“If everyone is moving forward together, then success takes care of itself.” Henry Ford

Life is not meant to be easy. We will face challenges. Perfection is a state of desire and if we have this level of expectation then we may just find the down times or times of adversity that much more hard-hitting.

We will fall. We will fail. We will at times feel defeated. It is important however to keep moving forward. Progression and growth are fundamental human needs. Without them, we will find a lacking of freedom, fulfilment and happiness. (more…)
