Cybersecurity is a broken industry. We rely on products that were designed to be sold, not used. And the incentives are completely screwed up.

I made this video about all of the ways things are bad, how we accidentally make it worse, and why new technology won't fix it.

Dear managers: Stop dumping extra tasks on people who love their jobs.

5 studies: Managers mistakenly assume that if you're intrinsically motivated, you'll happily do more without burning out or expecting more pay.

Joy shouldn't come at a cost. It's time to end the passion tax.

Anger Makes You Blind - In this short clip His Holiness the Dalai Lama shares a humorous story about his angry driver in Lhasa to illustrate a profound truth: when anger arises, the mind loses clarity. Without anger, we can respond to difficulties — and even to those who cause us harm — far more effectively. Video was originally recorded on June 4, 2009.

Women are offered lower pay than men for the same job.

Across >700k jobs, women were offered 5.5% less money than men, even after controlling for education, experience, employer, occupation, industry, and location.

The value of work shouldn’t depend on the gender of the worker.

Telling kids to sit still doesn’t build discipline. It stifles imagination.

Evidence: When students are given freedom to fidget and wiggle in their seats, they pay just as much attention—and generate more creative ideas.

Physical activity unlocks mental agility.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

Great sitting down with @BrianTylerCohen to talk about everything from the courage we saw in Minnesota, to how Democrats can be true to our values and get stuff done, to how we’re building a community of changemakers at the @ObamaFoundation. https://t.co/xyskxKbM8n

Our highest loyalty doesn’t belong to people or parties. It belongs to principles.

If you wouldn’t accept it from the “other side,” you shouldn’t accept it from yours.

Integrity is upholding your values even when your own group violates them.

[The Prince and Princess of Wales @KensingtonRoyal]

The Mother Nature series has been a deeply personal, creative reflection on how nature has helped me heal. But it is also a story about the power of nature and creativity in collective healing.

There is so much we can learn from mother nature, as we look to build a happier, healthier world. C

Success is not about finishing everything you start. It’s about knowing when to grit and when to quit.

235 studies: When people adjust their goals and plans in the face of challenges, they make more progress—and feel less depressed and anxious.

The ultimate flex is flexibility.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

Women aren't only underpaid because they end up in less lucrative careers than men.

Data on >25M people across 15 countries: Women make less than men in the same job—and that accounts for about half the overall gender pay gap.

Equal work deserves equal pay. Full stop.

“Einstein has made a universe and I can’t tell you how long that will last.” Literature laureate Bernard Shaw, born #OTD 1856, pays tribute to physics laureate @AlbertEinstein at the Savoy Hotel in London, England, 27 October 1930.

The biggest risk to young people's mental health is not screentime. It’s addictive behavior.

4-year study: The warning sign of serious issues isn’t hours on devices, but whether kids struggle to control their usage.

We should worry less about time than distress and compulsion.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

Dads are spending 3-4x as much time with their kids as their dads did with them.

When father figures are engaged, kids show better cognitive development, boys have fewer behavioral problems, and girls have fewer emotional problems.

Every child deserves strong parental bonds.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

Dear managers: If you’re not going to consider feedback, it’s better not to seek it at all.

Data: When people in power request input but then disregard it, they’re judged more negatively than if they hadn’t asked.

Bad leaders ignore. Good leaders listen. Great leaders act.

Trees are far more than the towering shapes we glimpse against the sky; they are dynamic networks of life, deeply entangled with the world around them.

If leaders are serious about ending war, women need a seat at the table.

International data, 1989-2011: When women are involved in agreements, peace is 35% more likely to last 15+ years.

Gender balance is especially important when the stakes are high and tempers run hot.

[Harvard Business Review @HarvardBiz]

"High potential" employees get noticed because they show they can do great work on an advanced level. Here's how. https://t.co/O1rXoOjrxN
