A society that normalizes bullying is no society at all. Yet in our grand age of progress, we’ve apparently decided that bullying suddenly isn’t that big of a problem.

Why Consistent Effort is Better Than Flash-in-the-Pan Success I’m going to drop a brutal truth right now: most of us will never be the winners of life. If you’re the sort of person who still holds onto dreams of grand success, allow me to rain on your parade — gently, of course. One of the…

The potency of the human mind is unparalleled, yet we resist truths that make us uncomfortable. Indeed, the incredible power of the human mind is often constrained by self-imposed boundaries and societal expectations.

In this glorious postmodern age, in which we enjoy more solutions than actual problems, we seem to be inventing problems just to keep ourselves entertained.
