The Writers Workshop Learn How To Say It Well
The great business philosopher Jim Rohn said it best in his lecture about communication. He was talking about personal communication - not about advertising - but the principle holds true. He says to be a master communicator all you've got to do is follow this simple three-step process: first, have something good to say; second, say it well; third, say it often.

Legacy and Immortality
A philosopher/historian once said that the really great ideas have their own objective reality. That they have substance beyond just being wisps in the mind of the individual thinker.

Give Something Back
A great philosopher once said, whatever you want more of, give it away. The best way to ensure an ongoing flow of abundance into your life is to share with others the wealth you receive. I am a big believer in tithing -- giving away 10% of your income to your church and favorite charities. I believe that it does indeed come back multiplied. This has been demonstrated in my life and the lives of Chicken Soup for the Soul readers over and over again.

Lack of Seriousness - The Last Interview with Vonnegut
Kurt Vonnegut is one of my few idols, an elegantly simple poet-philosopher of the first class. I grew up near where he lived in Sag Harbor, and I’ve enjoyed his writing since I was in junior high, where I silently hoped to one day have the courage to visit him.

4 Ways of Defining Belief
By definition, belief refers to a psychological state in which a person holds to a premise, or an idea, that he or she discerns to be true. Belief is similar to knowledge, but differentiated by a level of stronger confidence and perhaps even of faith. One of Plato’s early works defined knowledge as a person’s “justified true belief”, and this understanding has continued through the ages. Simply put, you could say that belief is knowledge that has been proven true according to reason, plausibility, and evidence. Of course, one could argue that belief and knowledge are relative to the perception of one individual. This is a moot point though, because whatever a person wants to believe will be their reality - regardless if it is true or not.
Cultivating Intuition
Ralph Waldo Emerson, the American philosopher said "The primary wisdom is intuition." It is not just a theory; it is part of who we are. Without training we can happen upon it occasionally and we usually like the results when we follow our intuition.
How to Use Philosophy as a Personal Operating System: From Seneca to Musashi
The following interview is a slightly modified version of an interview that just appeared on BoingBoing. It explores philosophical systems as personal operating systems (for better decision-making), the value of college and MBAs, and the bridge between business and military strategy, among other things. Avi first reached out to discuss my practical obsession with the philosopher Lucius Seneca, so that’s where we start…

Common and Uncommon Sense
I have long been intrigued by people who have become known as universal men and women. These are people who have succeeded at the highest level in more than one field of endeavor. The person who probably most embodies the concept of a universal man is Benjamin Franklin. Franklin was a statesman, inventor, scientist, publisher, and philosopher just to name a few of his areas of accomplishment.

Preservation of Modern Day Philosopher Videos
Primeau Productions feels it is important to preserve our modern day philosopher’s messages on video whenever possible.
Cheer Leaders Inspire Others
It has been said that there are only two types of people who thrive on being recognized for their achievements: men and woman. (I guess that covers most of us!) Reflecting on a life of pioneering work, 19th-century American philosopher and psychologist William James said, "I now perceive one immense omission in my psychology - the deepest principle of human nature is the craving to be appreciated."
