What leads us to ignore experts isn't their knowledge. It's their arrogance.

Evidence: Scientists are more credible when they admit what they don't know, acknowledge what they got wrong, and update their views.

Trust is earned by expressing humility, not by asserting authority.

[Daniel Pink @DanielPink]

Chasing the illusion of doing everything leaves us empty.

True meaning comes from choosing a few things that truly matter—and giving them our full attention.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

Generosity rarely starts with an offer of help. It often begins with a question about what others need.

Even those close to us face invisible hardships. The best way to give is to ask about their challenges.

We don't always have a solution, but we can always make them feel seen.

A timely reminder that in the end productivity is everything. All else passes. The trend is not automatic. Each step is hard-won. To non-economists: Covid was not great for productivity and we should all get sick. Less productive workers were fired. Beautiful composition effect.

Thursday wisdom:

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

The most common response to adversity is not chronic stress. It’s resilience.

54 studies of potentially traumatic events:
• 11% of people had extended difficulties
• 21% had acute symptoms that dissipated
• 66% sustained healthy functioning

Humans are less fragile than we realize.

MIT economists Daron Acemoglu and Simon Johnson say good jobs and the equitable deployment of technology can help restore people’s faith in democratic institutions. @DAcemogluMIT @baselinescene https://t.co/Nu43xXTyYk

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

The attitude that helps most with intense stress is not mindfulness. It’s hope.

In hard times, it’s overwhelming to live only in the present. What brings strength is anticipating a brighter future.

Resilience lies in remembering that today's burdens may be lighter tomorrow.

[Harvard Business Review @HarvardBiz]

People make decisions that defy economic logic because the mental relief of completing a goal outweighs financial gains. https://t.co/KU0sAczQc3

Algorithms are biased. But humans are a lot more biased. https://t.co/wgzxXEf1n5

[Yuval Noah Harari @harari_yuval]

There is no amendment mechanism in the Ten Commandments. So does the Bible still technically endorse slavery? Watch the full conversation with Fran Lebowitz and @ianbremmer on @RealTimers with @billmaher.

Kris, may you rest in the peace you offered so many.

[Prof. Feynman @ProfFeynman]

Simplicity isn't the lack of complexity; it's the clarity of understanding.

[Daniel Pink @DanielPink]

Fundamental beats instrumental!

[Tim Ferriss @tferriss]

“There’s no difference between a pessimist who says, ‘Oh, it’s hopeless, so don’t bother doing anything,’ and an optimist who says, ‘Don’t bother doing anything, it’s going to turn out fine anyway.’ Either way, nothing happens.”
​— Yvon Chouinard

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

Bad partners pursue their interests at your expense. They'll hurt you if it helps them.

Good partners value your interests as much as theirs. They strive for win-win.

Great partners internalize your interests as theirs. They take pride in your success and joy in your happiness.

[Harvard Business Review @HarvardBiz]

People who feel respected are more satisfied with their jobs and are more loyal to their companies. https://t.co/v9RgDuSgyH
