These days, you hear more and more about parents and adult children being estranged from each other. Some individuals have even decided to go “no contact” with their parents; they don’t want anything to do with their mom and/or dad at all. To understand what’s behind this phenomenon, today I talk to Joshua Coleman, a psychologist who’s spent 40 yea…

Think about a hot loaf of bread fresh out of the oven. There’s a lot going on with that loaf. On one level, it’s a literal food that’s been created through chemical processes.

It’s not uncommon for former law enforcement officers and intelligence agents to write self-help books where they share how the lessons they learned in their professional careers can apply to people in any walk of life. What is rare is for one of these officers-turned-authors to publicly prove they know what they’re talking about and that their tip…

In 18th century America, this book was second in popularity only to the Bible. It was a favorite of many thinkers and leaders throughout history, including Emerson, Napoleon, Machiavelli, Nietzsche, and even President Truman. Yet, you probably haven’t read it.
