3 Ideas For Better Habits

The Humble Path to Greatness

Business consultant, Jim Collins, on the essence of great leadership.

"The good-to-great leaders never wanted to become larger-than-life heroes. They never aspired to be put on a pedestal or become unreachable icons. They were seemingly ordinary people quietly producing extraordinary results."

Finding Strength in Adversity

Author, Matt Haig, on discovering resilience.

"The best thing about rock bottom is the rock part. You discover the solid bit of you. The bit that can't be broken down further. The thing that you might sentimentally call a soul. At our lowest we find the solid ground of our foundation. And we can build ourselves anew."

The Essence of Empathy

Holocaust survivor and psychiatrist, Viktor Emil Frankl, on the importance of understanding.

"No man should judge unless he asks himself in absolute honesty whether in a similar situation he might not have done the same."
