Victims wish there was no change and complain it’s all so hard and blame conditions, giving away their power to make the future as they want in the process. Do not do this. Do not be like this. Don’t be around people, news, conversations, and mentalities like this. Step up. Now. Into. Your. LEADERSHIP. I'm truly super excited over the upcoming release of my new book The Robot and the Gardener: Being Fully Human in an Artificial Age (Penguin Random House). It's a parable and it's different (by far!) from any book I've ever written. You can join the list here if you'd like to be among the first to receive any updates.

Clean up your information diet. I want you to think about those words. Your information diet. Every piece of information that is populating your internal life is affecting your creativity, productivity, positivity, influence. So the people you follow on social media, you watch a post. At some level it's affecting you. It's either upgrading you or degrading you. The news, a video, a book. You read, a magazine you have a conversation. You engage in, an ad, you look at a place that you're at. Your environment is shaping your positivity. Your environment is codifying and assembling the influences that create the stained glass window. That's a term of Joseph Campbell, the mythologist. But all of that information and your entire environment shapes the way that you see the world. It shapes and creates a perceptual filter. And if it's negative and toxic, then you're going to see a toxic world, and you're going to see the worst in people. You're going to miss opportunities. You're not going to feel very good about yourself. You're going to tell yourself an internal psychological story about who you are, and it's not going to be very good. It's going to be negative because of all the negative influences you are consciously choosing to allow into your life. As you upgrade your information diet and you stop watching toxic influencers and you take a good hard look at the news you allow into your life, and you only read excellent books of excellent people, great information, and you start to look at your environments and you say, okay, I better work in a really inspiring workplace, and maybe you even buy a better apartment, or a better house, or drive abetter car, or travel first class versus economy. I don't know what your ideal environment looks like. All I know is the places you are at, the people you are around, and the information you allow into your inner life profoundly shapes the way you see the world. And positive psychologists like Heidi Grant Halverson will tell you
