Squaring Pareto
There's a famous principle used in business; you've probably heard it. The Pareto principle (aka the 80–20 rule), named after Italian economist Vilfredo Pareto, states: for many events, roughly 80% of effects come from 20% of causes. In business, it means that 80% of your profits come from 20% of your customers. Since its discovery, this principle has found broad and surprising applications far beyond the business world. Here are a few examples: • 80% of crimes are committed by 20% of the criminals • 80% of crop yields are produced by 20% of the plantsr

Probing The Power Of Myth 2013
Myths, metaphors and archetypes can be powerful tools in personal development. They spark your imagination and creativity. They add the textures of heart (sacredness, passion, dignity, inspiration, and self-love) to a process that can get stuck in your head (what your self-defeating beliefs are; what you need to do to change them). One of the most fascinating myths about personal growth is The Three Metamorphoses, described by the brilliant philosopher and cultural critic, Friedrich Nietzche.

Are You Bringing Your Legacy to Life?
The same thing that makes a diamond sparkle makes you sparkle, too: individuality! Everyone leaves their unique mark on the world. Your actions have an impact on the future of your family and friends; they’ll carry the memory of you as part of their life. How do you want to be remembered? Baby Boomers are increasingly thinking about their legacy. Traditionally, legacy has been about how much money the kids would inherit when you died, and/or making a big impact on future generations through civic engagement (uplifting the downtrodden) or moral teaching.

The Web You're Weaving
There's a fascinating relationship among Twitter, your brain and the world. Billions of tweets, texts, posts, emails, and phone calls have one thing in common: they're neural signals in the global brain. We've already seen how quickly and profoundly social networks have altered the global brain. Each tiny tweet, at a larger level, is shaping the next global identity, a “we” that everyone can have a powerful voice in.

Create Traditions that Sizzle, Not Fizzle
Has this ever happened to you? You're knee deep in the hustle and bustle of the holidays, when you have a flash of inspiration: you want to start a new tradition with your beloveds. But when you share your idea, you only get scowls in response. Your vision of an evening of hot cider and charades by the fire fizzles faster than you can say Jack Frost.

When the Servant Becomes the Master
The liver that you were born with will be essentially the same when you die. Not so for your brain. It's the only organ that evolves throughout your lifetime in ways that are unique to you, based on the thoughts you think. Your greatest challenge is to figure out how to master it, then use it as a tool for learning, growth and fulfillment. Your success in life depends on your brain, because you can't have experiences without it. Since your brain is the gateway to your future, it makes sense to invest the energy to make your brain as healthy, strong and smart as you can.

How is Breathing Like Thinking?
Your lungs and your brain have one thing in common: they both run on autopilot unless you take conscious control of their activity. Your breathing happens automatically. But if you decide to take a deep breath, the automation stops. As long as you're thinking about breathing, you'll have complete control of how often and how deeply you breathe. But when you stop thinking about it, your breathing instantly becomes automatic again.

Be As Smart As Einstein in 4 Simple Steps
When Albert Einstein died, there was much anticipation about what the autopsy of his brain would reveal. Scientists speculated that his brain was significantly larger or more dense that normal. So they were confused and disappointed to discover that Einstein's brain was actually slightly smaller than normal, with average density. Scientists were left to ponder what made Albert so smart. Since size didn't matter, the difference lies in how he used his gray matter.

Are You Making the Most of This Season?
Last week, I stood on my back porch, watching the snow fall. No matter how many times I see it, I'm always struck by how magical this act of nature feels. Peaceful. Quiet. Lovely. Winter is a sacred time of the year. Our modern culture has collapsed the introspective potential of winter into just New Year's eve. Then it's back to the rat race of nonstop work. For most of us, the seasons have no effect on our jobs.
