How The Toy Industry Is Teaching Innovation By Fusing Positive Psychology And Technology.
For all that we hear about technology causing greater disconnection in society today, a growing movement of “makers” is offering a different twist on this narrative, instead using technology to unite people around making the world a better place. Makers might be teachers, professionals, students, parents, DIY hobbyists or just tinkerers; whatever their professional background, makers share a personal fascination with creating, often using technology. When you hear the term “maker,” you might think of self-made individuals like Elon Musk who taught himself computing at the age of 12 or Steve Jobs who created Apple in a garage. However, the maker movement […]
Are You Emotionally Healthy?
Possessing emotional health has nothing to do with how intelligent or attractive or rich you are. In fact it is possible that high achievers are the least likely to be emotionally healthy, of any group. Many emotionally healthy people have relatively low paid, low status jobs and focus more on their home than their work lives. Most of us are born emotionally healthy. A baby knows exactly who he or she is. Most toddlers know who they are, and when they feel safe, are spontaneously joyful. It is usually when children go to school , especially from ages seven to […]
Your Status Anxiety Is Killing Your Business: Lessons from Tim Cook
About 2 years ago, I had an issue with my iMac. It stopped working during a presentation. I had been using Macs since 1997 and I never had any issues.

Overgeneralizing the Generations
As workplaces become increasingly age-diverse, psychologists are working to help people of all ages work together. Conventional wisdom says if you’re a Millennial, born after 1980, you leave work at 5:01, won’t work weekends and prefer texting to face-to-face meetings. In fact, you probably just sent a text to five friends about how lame your 30-something supervisor is. If you’re a Baby Boomer, born between 1946 and 1964, you live to work, can’t text and can’t tolerate change. But like most stereotypes, those blanket assumptions are often wrong, say psychologists who study age diversity in the workplace. In fact, such […]

We know that it takes a lot of dedication, and that it requires an endless thirst for learning, even when everyone else […]
