I tried several personal wellness experiments, such as intermittent fasting, polyphasic sleeping, and cold plunges. I always assumed that doing better at work meant adding a better project, a bigger promotion, or a brilliant new job entirely. Focusing on the day-to-day problems at work helped me stay present in my life — better than any of my personal wellness experiments. AdvertisementAlthough I plateaued with the life hacks, tweaking how I work day-to-day has led to endless gains. I still work hard, but now I work better.

This is known as child-focused parenting, a style devised in the 90s that has become the norm in the last decade. Gaskins isn't the only psychology professional against child-focused parenting. Ironically, child-focused parenting teaches kids that it's normal to forego your identity and boundaries.

Related storiesThough Remi recruited people she knew, shadow stand-ins are often sourced from a complex online web of faceless providers. Facebook Groups are a popular forum for recruiting shadow stand-ins, providing a two-sided marketplace where workers and providers can connect to one another. The dustup highlighted a key drawback to shadow stand-ins: While alluring, things can go horribly wrong. "It required a lot of micromanaging," said a backend engineer in Pennsylvania who hired shadow stand-ins to help him juggle multiple jobs. Pay rates for shadow stand-ins are "definitely more than what people earn in their regular payday, that's for sure," he said.

Last summer, thousands of tie-dyed Burners and Patagonia-clad tech founders converged on the MAPS Psychedelic Science conference in Denver. The experience "broke the spell of this trauma, and she was able to rebuild her life," Doblin told The Guardian . The video team's job was to store recordings of every MDMA therapy session performed in the clinical trials. Grof believes in something called an "inner healing intelligence," an innate capacity for self-healing that psychedelic therapy helps unleash. Another time, a patient who had come to an MDMA therapy session later acknowledged they had been under the influence of LSD during treatment.

If you work for Reed Hastings, you'd better be ready to express your dissatisfaction. Good leaders seek out critical feedback whenever possible, the Netflix co-founder and chairman recently told entrepreneur Tim Ferriss' podcast, "The Tim Ferriss Show." "Because it's difficult, emotionally, in most companies to disagree with your manager, we call it farming for dissent," he added. "We have managers do things like [ask]: 'What are three things you would do differently if you were in my job?'" The strategies that didn't work served as learning opportunities, he added.

When it comes to taking risks, Netflix co-founder Reed Hastings has an important rule of thumb. "I try to take a lot of risks on things that are recoverable," Hastings said in a recent conversation on entrepreneur Tim Ferriss' podcast. A two-way door risk is easy to take because it's reversible, so "you can come back in and pick another door," Bezos said. But a one-way door risk probably can't be undone. In 2017, Hastings told CNBC he was actually pushing his content team to "take more risk" in that regard.

That most important person could be an amnesiac assassin fighting a mysterious government conspiracy, or some guy (or girl) seeking true love. They are the main character; everyone else is secondary. The goal of life is success and self-actualization as the main character of your own dream.

Warren Buffett , who has earned Berkshire Hathaway investors over 35,000% since 1978, once said that “the stock market is designed to transfer money from the active to the patient.” Now many younger investors who had been seeking shortcuts are coming around to his way of thinking. In 2008, just as the seeds of the recent tech boom were being sown in the ashes of the financial crisis, Tim Ferriss, bestselling author of “4-Hour Workweek,” which told readers how to “join the new rich,” snagged a coveted microphone at Berkshire Hathaway’s annual meeting.
