@chrisbrogan Failure.

@sbkaufman The population in LA is a little skewed towards the desire to “look good.” People desire to “act good” elsewhere - and they do - but no one really notices.

Question: Why is our society so obsessed with *looking good* (e.g., gym memberships sell like hotcakes, everyone here in California is obsessed with fitness) but there really isn't much of an obsession with *acting good*? Thoughts?

@skgreen Nerds unite!

Today’s grateful list: 1. My fellow nerds 2. Homemade pizza 3. Baby’s first words (“uh oh” and “woof”)

@penguinrandom Twitter. So…fiction.

What genre are you reading right now?

@skgreen An editor is an unsung hero. The editing process doesn’t scare me. Publishing does. Being finished does.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but writing is really hard. As an editor, I tip my hat to all of you who are staring at a blank page, trying to fill it, and then sending the result to someone like me who is going to rip it apart again. That takes a certain kind of courage.

@sbkaufman Been obsessed with this idea since Robert Rosenthals research.

I think people need more of a best-self bias and less of a worst-self bias about people. Most human interactions are ambiguous. People are primed these days to assume the worst about a person, thereby unwittingly actually bringing out the very outcome in the person they expected.

@sbkaufman Hit the Magic Castle yet?

@jonathansfrakes Outside. 😬

@sbkaufman Has no one noticed that the answer is in the question? @sbkaufman blatantly called it an “IQ test.” Soooooo…IQ. Final answer.

IQ test: Which one does not belong and why: grit, optimism, resilience, IQ

@chrisbrogan You’ve just described my 2022.

It's not your job to fix a toxic workplace from the bottom. If leaders at the top aren't committed to change, the best way to stay sane is to shield yourself and support your team. Your responsibility is to protect your well-being, your career, and the people you care about.

Don't you hate it when your company has one of those "bring yourselves to work" days? #WorkFromHome

The most underrated tool of persuasion is curiosity. A natural response to disagreement is to attack what people think. A more inviting alternative is to be genuinely fascinated by how they think. Curiosity is contagious. When advocacy closes minds, inquiry can open them.

I need a pick me up. My last few days have been incredibly rough. This is normally where you’d hear “send me a funny video,” or “send me puppy pics,” but I’ll let you decide. I just know I need a shot of humanity and/or levity right now.

@sbkaufman Yes! I guess I'm not a pure contrarian if I agree with this. I often connect deeply with humans via heated debate.

I am disagreeable intellectually but very agreeable interpersonally. I think the Big Five personality model needs to make this distinction clearer. I revel in my rebellion against the standard idea, but also revel in my desire to connect with another human. Anyone relate?

Got a cool out-of-nowhere surprise from @gretchenrubin today!! #outerorderinnercalm #daymade instagram.com/p/CTxMpj6J7Fw/…
