Change is hard. We are creatures of habit.

Looking at things in a different way and confronting our own beliefs is something we rarely do.

Over time, these biases can turn into prejudice and reinforce negative stereotypes.

Time to challenge ourselves more often.

It’s just the perfect science fiction film and gets better with every viewing.

I asked my audience: "What is the best sports book you've ever read?" — and received more than 1,000 responses.

Here are the Top 10 👇

1) Open, an autobiography by Andre Agassi.

Everyone needs to read this, seriously.

@packyM I'd like to try one before I decide. A bit like reviewing a movie when you've only seen the trailer.

At the moment, I can't work out what problem it solves.

It's not web3 crypto, but I'm still not sure.

So, Johnson goes out whining like a stuck pig about Remainer dark forces and a witch hunt; not an ounce of contrition, self-reflection, or dignity. What a pathetic man-child he is.

It’s my birthday. I’m 37 and I have some things I’d like to share, in no particular order.

1. No one thinks about you more than you do. That thing from two years ago that keeps you up at night? No one else remembers. Honor the memory and let it go.

@dannypostma @NickSarafa Espresso machine needs the same cleaning, if not more.

For quick and clean go Aeropress with a good grinder.

[Nathan Baugh @nathanbaugh27]

JK Rowling uses outlines. Stephen King doesn’t.

Neil Gaiman writes every day. Franz Kafka didn’t.

Brandon Sanderson writes best at 11pm. William Faulkner at 9am.

My takeaway? Do you, but be consistent.

[Brooklin Nash @realBrookNash]

Call me crazy, but I don’t think anyone with less than five years of experience has any business being a coach.

@ibbitsc Cheers 😬

I know this is Star Trek, but it's a great case study in leadership.

Every boss eventually needs to have this talk with a senior employee at some point in their career.

Sometimes you have to remind people who is in charge.

THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK was released 43 years ago today. One of Hollywood’s most popular films and most acclaimed sequels, the making of story is as huge as you’d expect.

Humans doing the hard jobs on minimum wage while the robots write poetry and paint is not the future I wanted

[Austen Allred @Austen]

It blows my mind that people like to work at coffee shops.

Hey let’s go try to get some work done at a place with the absolute maximum number of distractions.

[Peter Kalmus @ClimateHuman]

1000% spot on

Focus is essential for a productive life.
