The Philosopher
It was a heavy and wet morning when the trees let out quiet sighs, aching from the fresh weight of the evening’s frost. A man sat in his study watching exhausted leaves tremble and fall, spilling light with each pirouette. It was a morning not unlike any other for this man. He rose at seven, as was his custom. Washed his face with cool water and prepared for the morning’s conversation and walk with Mr. Wellington.

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…

The Missing Piece That Can Hold You Back
If you want to create a result and you’re being held back in some way, a revealing question to ask is, “What’s the payoff I’m getting from staying where I am NOW?” This article is about how understanding the answer can set you free.

Resist the Interpretation Addiction
Sometimes we adopt a story and unknowingly our emotions get swept up in it. And 99% of the time we don’t really question or inquire into the story we create. We treat our story as what actually happened. The problem, of course, is that the story influences, in part, the action you take in subsequent events. This article is about identifying the stories you may have created, working around them and managing them.

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.

Lead by Example – Do the Important Things Better
Modern management practices are often imposed by the forces which require short term results. Back in the 1980s, W.

We now remember Deming as the philosopher of the “quality movement".

Cultivating Intuition

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.

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!)
