  See You There!!

  A few +1s ago, we spent some time in your Genius Zone. Today I want to revisit that wonderful spot and talk a little more about how to spend more time there. But, first, let’s rename it. Genius Zone is, of course, very cool. That’s what the Romans would have called it. But, yo...

  Remember the Elephant’s Trunk

  In our last couple +1s, we’ve been having fun working with some tools for the mind—also known as mantras. Today I’d like to tap into another way we can think of the power of mantras. But first, if you’re up for it (and can do it safely!), close your eyes. We’re going to take ...
