We've got a youth mental health epidemic.

Part of the reason? Without being aware of it, adults are training kids to have hypersensitive threat alarms, without the tools or resources to handle any sort of challenge.

The consequences are dire:

Everyone who cares about health, performance, and longevity should be required to read this piece from @sweatscience.

There is an entire industry selling you quick fixes and the illusion of control. Be careful and try to focus on what actually matters.

An absolute master class by @BStulberg in ‘change’ and how we navigate a world where everything is changing including us. Love the analogy of a path (versus a road) and the concept of ‘rugged flexibility’ - being tough and durable but are open to new possibilities 🌱🌳🌄🦋

"Do your job.
Sweat the details.
Put the team first.
Be attentive.
Ignore the noise.
Speak for yourself."

“Suspend judgment, be curious about the larger context, and stay open to seeing the whole person.” —Robin Steinberg

A compelling read with implications well beyond the courtroom …

[Mark Anthony Steacy @steacym]

@edbatista A wonderful story - best of luck Ed, Amy, Buster and the lovely newcomer! 🐕🐕🐾

"If someone admits they made a mistake, have the grace to let it go.

Holding it over them ensures they won’t be quick to admit they were wrong in the future.

Outcome over ego."

@debrakidd I keep going back to this at the end of the book:

“But I know that this writing is not going to be widely read. What is its contribution? In its embodiment in my (and your) future actions and practices, it is a carrier.”

It’s so critical that we continue planting seeds 🌱🌱🌱

[Mark Anthony Steacy @steacym]

Reread Becoming Mobius, a truly excellent book by @debrakidd this week - a timely reminder of the importance of improvisation, optimism and becomings: “Hope is always in the process of becoming.”

Consistency over intensity:

A tiny thought from our newsletter:

"Action creates progress. Progress creates momentum. Momentum creates motivation."

When goal setting, think less about the outcome and more about the process:

“Reaching the peak of a mountain is thrilling, but 99.9999 percent of the journey is spent on the sides, doing the actual climbing.” —@BStulberg

27 principles for getting on, and staying on, the path to mastery and sustainable excellence in 2023

[Brad Stulberg @BStulberg]

The peak of a mountain is only as strong as its base.

We are the same.

People focus on hustle culture and bright and shiny objects—until they burnout.

You've got to be grounded if you want to soar.

Here, the keys to building a foundation for sustainable excellence in 2023:

“To travel is better than to arrive.” —Robert Pirsig

[Brad Stulberg @BStulberg]

@steacym

[Steve Magness @stevemagness]

The longer your in this game called life, the more you understand that people are people.

Doesn't matter age, experience or expertise.

It's why you can read Montaigne from 500 years ago or Seneca from 2k years ago, and they're debating the same human issues that we are today.

[Mark Anthony Steacy @steacym]

@BStulberg Thanks Brad - that’s a wonderful illustration!

@shaneparrish My favourite book in 2022 was @stevemagness‘s Doing Hard Things.

Biggest lesson: Inner World > Outer World i.e. focus on enacting core values
