The Secret of Happiness
Happiness has become a hot scientific topic over the last two decades. Recently the BBC presented a six part series called The Happiness Formula. This series covered topics such as: 1. Think yourself happy 2. The politics of happiness 3. The power of happiness 4. The happiness recipe The scientific tests supporting the series suffered, to some extent, because happiness relies upon the subjective self assessment by an individual of their own happiness rather than an objective measure. However, that suggests that happiness is something that can be objectively measured and that may not be so. Perhaps each of us have our own definition of happiness that are all equally valid.

It's Never As Bad As You Expect
Our minds play tricks on us, and one of the tricks they play is imagining that something will be absolutely horrible. This turns out to be a useful trick, because in fact things are rarely, if ever, as bad as we expect, and we are always able to deal with them more easily because of that.
I'll Be Happy When...
We seem to spend a lot of time predicting what will make us happy (we call it daydreaming) and what will make us unhappy (we call it worrying). What we're really doing is wanting. We "know" what we want and don't want, and what will make us happy and not happy.

Changing Your Ideas about Employee Motivation
Most managers believe that the best way to motivate employees is with external rewards-money, perks, and other dangling carrots to get people enthusiastic about their job. But according to Daniel Pink in his new book “Drive: The Surprising Truth about What Motivates US” motivation is created internally not externally and depends on peoples ability to make decisions about their own lives, to learn and create new things, and to better themselves.
Storytelling for High Concept and High Touch
After hearing Daniel Pink speak about his book A Whole New Mind: Moving from the Information Age to the Conceptual Age for the fourth time, I finally read it cover to cover (less than a day). I finally got what he was talking about when he said jobs that are high touch are here to stay. That is, jobs that build relationships between business and client whether it's B2B or B2C.

Monthly Dinner With My Brother
Last night I had dinner with my brother Daniel, one of the partners at Slice of Lime, a Boulder-based web design and development firm. He and I were at TechStars at the end of the day where I gave a talk on “How To Be A CEO.” Afterwards, we had a nice dinner together at The Cheesecake Factory (his choice – I don’t think I’d been there in a decade – and it was surprisingly good), a great talk, and dynamite brother hang out time.
