Are you Growing Free or Getting Stuck? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
As we live, we either get more stuck or we get more free. Whatever the circumstances, those are the choices.This is one reason so many people in middle age, which covers a lot of ground, find themselves asking why their friends have suddenly gone crazy. Usually they are not so much crazy as a more extreme version of whatever they were before. As people get older, they can get more brittle. They double down on what they perceive as having worked for them. If they have been ignoring consequences t
What Breakthroughs are Made of (opens the original)
Read excerpt
If you are a parent or ever cared for young children, you know that feeling of picking your child up and having a perfectly dull conversation. “How did it go?” “Good.” “What was the most fun part?” “No fun.” It’s more like an interrogation.

We say, “I’m confused,” or “I don’t know,” when we are scared. Often, deep down, we know what we need to do, but we are afraid of that. We cannot bear what comes next. It is easier to pretend we don’t know, so we remain confused and we push off action and change for another day.Fear shrinks us. It turn
Self-Authority (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Self-AuthorityIt’s hard to say exactly what is the difference between a person who defers in matters where they need not, and a person who runs their own show. But you can feel it in an instant.People who defer await critique. They ask, they check in, they wonder aloud. They seem unsure. They second-guess themselves. Sometimes they give more away than the moment calls for, making jokes at their own expense as they hand off authority they never needed to hand off. All of it asks: can I be trusted
