Critical Thinking

How does Santa Claus get to all of those houses in one night? As a child, did that question ever cross your mind? Most likely, it did. This is an example of our early attempts to employ critical thinking in our lives. As we mature and become more cognitively proficient, we’re easily able to answer questions of this nature. The problem is sometimes we don’t like the answers, so we purposely avoid the proof, data and evidence that comprise the building blocks of critical thinking. In this clip, I explore why this occurs. #personaldevelopment #criticalthinking

Our habits determine our destiny, and our habits are under our control. Have you ever wondered why some people are so much more successful than others? Have you ever wondered why some people are so much happier than others? These staples of a life well lived are predictable and practiced by the most consciously aware people on the planet. Watch this short video about how to form the foundational habit of them all. #personaldevelopment

Over the past few years, millions of American’s have fallen into the trap of believing false claims surrounding everything from politics to the pandemic.

Subjective reality is seeing things through the lens of personal bias and emotion. Objective reality means seeing things the way they actually are. One leads to success, and the other, to failure. Watch this short 57-second video on this important subject. #personaldevelopment #criticalthinking

In the 1990’s, there was a popular book called “Do What You Love and the Money Will Follow”. Creative types loved it, while parents and pragmatics loathed it. After all, living your passion is wonderful, but you need money to survive. In the past few decades, this lofty (yet wise) philosophy seems to have shifted to “Go for the money”. I’ve interviewed self-made millionaires for 40 years, and in this short video, I reveal how you can have both.

When facing rejection, do you tend to react more like an adult, or a child? Children are addicted to the approval of other people due to their lack of brain development and emotional maturity, yet many adults suffer from the same addiction. The inability to process rejection relegates even the most gifted adults to lower levels of success and happiness in life. In this short video, I pose a critical thinking question for your consideration. #personaldevelopment #mentaltoughness #criticalthinking
