I really feel like knife skills - not just in the kitchen, but in life - are really critical.

For most people, life would be boring without meaningful work.

After decades of hauling telescopes around in the back of vans and going up to high altitude locations and so forth, I did finally build an observatory, here on Sonoma mountain.

I think willpower is very valuable.

Awareness, even at a subconscious level, beats fancy checklists without it, track or you will fail.

If only I had more money is the easiest way to postpone the intense self-examination and decision-making necessary to create a life of enjoyment - now and not later.

Nothing can match the wonderment that comes from staring up into the star-filled canopy above and realizing that you are a part of that creation.
