That's one of the real dangers of leader selection in many organizations: leaders are selected for overconfidence.

The evidence is unequivocal, there's a great deal more luck than skill in people getting very rich.

Nothing in life is quite as important as you think it is while you're thinking about it.

People like leaders who look like they are dominant, optimistic, friendly to their friends, and quick on the trigger when it comes to enemies. They like boldness and despise the appearance of timidity and protracted doubt.

If you're going to be unreligious, it's likely going to be due to reflecting on it and finding some things that are hard to believe.

The idea that the future is unpredictable is undermined every day by the ease with which the past is explained.

Each additional day together is a gift. The end of the day means the end of hostilities, the recognition that the underlying shared values and commitment to the relationship trump the need for one last dig or self-righteous justification.
