There are only 2 rules among people who actually sell wine. Rule number 1: Drink what tastes good. The only way you know that a wine is pleasing to you is for you to try it. Rule number 2: Drink whatever you can afford. Both rules are very sensible.

No, the cover has nothing at all to do with
@Mike_Pence
and the last VP debate. The cover was designed 5 months before the debate. Just so happens the fly is the quintessential prototype for BS detection. Political leaders of all walks are BSers, just like everyone else.

It’s definitely not “wokeness” but rather critical thinking & synthesis of multiple sources of evidence. Few academics agree on anything/everything, even w/in their own fields, so the delusion that college students are being brainwashed to fit another narrative is not supported.

Why is it that people appear to think if they insert the word “science” anywhere in their argument—no matter how haphazardly used or misinformed—that it somehow uniformly legitimizes their argument? It doesn’t.

Problems usually don’t just go away until you take action to fix them.
You can make positives out of most any negative with humility & hard work. Problems are not setbacks, but challenges & opportunities to improve.

Organizational scholars define resilience as the maintenance of positive adjustment under challenging conditions.
Resilience isn’t about taking punches.
It’s the ability to bounce back from unfortunate events, & preserve or improve functioning despite the presence of adversity.

Proper personnel eval. improves the chances of having the right people in the right places.
i.e., optimal balance between values & goals of both personnel & the org.
It’s about increasing commit. from the perspective of the org. & development from the perspectives of employees.

Same here. But if that’s true for you SBK, why promote the Mark Mansons, Jordan Petersons, Brett Weinsteins and other Deepak Chopra guru wannabes on your podcast?
There is so much quack science out there, based on what people want to be true or what products people want to sell. I try to stick to peer-reviewed journal article data, not the confidence of the promoter or how fast they talk with fancy hand gestures in a YouTube video.

Organized journaling 15 min. 3-5 days/week is associated with enhanced physical & mental health & greater life satisfaction.
Its positive effect isn’t caused by emotional catharsis but by the highly structured act of writing itself.
Try for two weeks & call me in the morning.
