  And Get Your Freak On

  In our last +1, we talked about Trevor Moawad’s ideas behind “The Illusion of Choice.” We THINK we have a ton of choices. But, if we’re REALLY committed to actualizing our potential, we don’t. Period. (Right?) I mentioned the fact that we chatted about the EXACT same idea in the book I read rig...

  Limited Ideas Entertained That Wreak Havoc on Our Belief Systems

  In our last +1, we talked about baby elephants and you. Recall that a baby elephant is often tethered to a stake that it can’t pull out when it’s young.
