The "Rules" That Hold You Back In Life

Curiosity Chronicle ·

2025/11/03

There is a concept in cognitive science called the Illusory Truth Effect:It's the tendency to believe false information after consistent, repeated exposures. In other words, if you're told something over and over again, it takes root in your mind as a truth.This is how suggestions slowly, silently start to feel like rules...•••Mel Robbins called my first book "a powerful wake-up call that will push you to rethink everything about how you’re spending your time."

You're going to see your parents 15 more times before they die.In 2021, that simple statement, which later became the opening line of my book, changed my life.My wife and I were living in California at the time, 3,000 miles away from our parents.

Curiosity Chronicle ·

2025/10/24

There’s an old Danish fairy tale about an emperor who loved fine clothes.Two swindlers promised him a suit so magnificent that it would be invisible to anyone unfit for their position or hopelessly foolish. They dress him in the invisible garments, and the emperor steps out into the city streets for a grand parade—completely naked. The townspeople, afraid to appear unfit or foolish, cheer for the outfit that isn't there. Only a small child told the truth: “But he’s completely naked!”It’s a

In Homer’s epic poem The Odyssey, Odysseus and his men faced a long, arduous journey home to Ithaca after the Trojan War.Early in the voyage, a series of fierce storms blow them off course and land them on a mysterious, sunlit island. It seemed peaceful, with gentle winds, calm seas, and fertile land. The inhabitants were friendly and welcoming.

I stumbled across a great post recently:When fisherman cannot go to sea, they repair nets. When the sea is too rough to sail, the smart ones don’t wait—they get to work. They mend their nets, sharpen their tools, and prepare for the moment the storm breaks. Because even in stillness, there’s progress.It reminded me of a story from the American Revolution in Ron Chernow’s Pulitzer Prize-winning biography of George Washington...•••Apple CEO Tim Cook called my first book "a powerful call to

Last week, I had a beautiful conversation with a young mother who reached out wanting to talk to me about her son.The young boy, just four years old, has shown signs of being neurodivergent.

What Are You Tolerating That’s Holding You Back?

Curiosity Chronicle ·

2025/09/15

I've often mused that there are (broadly) two ways to improve your life:Add a Positive: A good habit, behavior, person, etc.Remove a Negative: A bad habit, behavior, person, etc.An important observation: Most of us automatically default to the former and ignore the latter.We're conditioned to believe that progress means doing more. New habits. New routines. New mindsets. New people. New goals.But here's the truth: The simplest, fastest path to progress isn’t addition. It’s

2025/09/10

Here’s something I find myself thinking about a lot lately:Your life is not a singular, static experience.Your life has seasons.These seasons create a natural flow to your journey.

Money is a funny thing.It consumes an enormous amount of our energy and attention in adulthood, but very few of us learn anything about it in childhood or adolescence.If we're lucky, our parents teach us a few of the basics (and maybe we get a boring course or two on it in school).But we're pretty much left on our own when it comes to one of the most influential elements in our lives.I'm 34 years old and I've spent a lot of time thinking about money over the last few years.

The Ancient Greeks had two different words for time:Chronos was the idea of chronological, linear, quantitative time. That all time is equal.Kairos was a bit different. That there are certain moments or windows that have more meaning. More texture. More importance. More weight.We’ve all experienced Kairos time.
