Be Water, My Friend “Empty your mind. Be formless, shapeless, like water. You put water into a cup; it becomes the cup. You put water into a teapot; it becomes the teapot. You put it into a bottle; it becomes the bottle. Water can flow or it can crash! Be water my friend” – Bruce…
Meditations “The human soul wrongs itself when it allows itself to be overpowered by pleasure or pain” – Marcus Aurelius For those who perhaps don’t know (or went to school long ago and forgot), Marcus Aurelius Antoninus was a Roman emperor in the period from 161 to 180 AD. He’s the last ruler from…
The Hard Thing About Hard Things “I ask my children: what is the difference between a hero and a coward? There is no difference. It’s only what they do that differs. They both feel the same. They’re both scared of losing their lives or getting seriously injured. The coward refuses to face the inevitable. The…
No Longer Human If you thought only Russian, English, and (occasional) French classics could delve into the theme of human soul despair, just wait until you see what Osamu Dazai and his “No Longer Human” will do to you in less than 120 pages! What all can fit on 120 pages? Well, let’s say, the…

Trillion Dollar Coach X (by the way, director of a smaller company): So, how do you see your “working with people/employees,” HR and company functioning? Me: (talking about my vision of situations and approaches to problem-solving broadly and passionately) X: (after a brief silence) You better go to “Silicon Valley” and make your way there….
The Ride of a Lifetime People apparently had high expectations for Robert “Bob” Iger and his business/CEO memoir “The Ride of a Lifetime.” I did too. I had some inexplicably good feeling about this book. And that’s why I made maximum effort to avoid reading any (both domestic and foreign) reviews of the book until…
Tribe of Mentors Uh, Tim Ferriss… to be honest, I’m not entirely sure what to think of him. I really don’t know. He’s one of those authors where I get the feeling that his blog and podcast are more interesting—and have more credibility—than his books. I’ve owned his bestseller The 4-Hour Workweek for ages, as…
