One of my guilty pleasures is reading Dan Brown novels.
I love the startling plot twists, the cliffhangers, and the adrenaline rush produced by his over-the-top plots.
Life Lessons
Overwhelmed? Try this.
As I write this, I’m on a flight to Las Vegas to give a keynote at a Salesforce/Tableau conference with 8,000 attendees.
It’s one of 6 events I’m doing in less than 7 days.
In moments like this, it’s easy to get frazzled and lose myself in overwhelm.
There’s a practice I follow to ground myself that I’m going to share with you. It comes from an unlikely place: bullfighting. (For our purposes, I’m going to set aside the cruelty of the “sport” and instead focus on the idea).
It’s called querencia.
The game-changing trick for facing uncertainty
Growing up, I was a big gamer.
This was the 90s. I’d sit in my tiny room in Istanbul and play Doom, Duke Nukem, Quake, and Civilization.
One of life’s hardest questions
What do you want? What do you really want?
Those questions stump most people. Deciding what you want can be the hardest thing.
