There’s an old fable about Christopher Columbus that I like…

In 1493, upon return from his first voyage to the Americas (which he mistakenly identified as the East Indies), a group of Spanish nobles gathered for a celebratory dinner with Christopher Columbus.

The nobles diminished his accomplishment, saying, “Anyone could have sailed west and found land. You just happened to get there first.”

Columbus smiled, reached for a boiled egg, and issued a wager...

Robert Caro is widely considered to be one of the greatest biographers of our time. His list of accolades is long and includes two Pulitzer Prizes for Biography, two National Book Awards (one for Lifetime Achievement), and many more.

But the critical acclaim is no accident.

His work is revered for its meticulous research and intense dedication to its subjects.

Robert Caro didn't set out to write "good enough" biographies. He set out to produce definitive, world-changing ones—the kind that shape our understanding of human nature, power, and the people who wield it.

The origin of that ethos was a simple conversation with his boss, Alan Hathaway, when he began a role as an investigative reporter at Newsday...

In 1789, philosopher Jeremy Bentham mused on the two forces that control our lives:

His argument, in simple terms, is that human behavior is driven by the pursuit of pleasure and the avoidance of pain.

This general idea is the basis for the most useful productivity framework you've probably never heard of:

It's called Skinner's Law..

I have a close friend—we'll call him Ben.

Ben is very successful. He's in his 30s, sold a company for $100 million, and earns over $10 million per year in his current role.

I was recently out on a walk with Ben when he admitted something interesting:

He hates his current job. He finds no fulfillment in the work and dreams of leaving to start something new. Something that would bring him alive again.

So, naturally, I told him to quit. I mean, he has enough money for many, many lifetimes, and that affords him the freedom to do so.

My logic was basically ​this classic​ from Bobby Axelrod on Billions:

Well, as it turns out, he can't quit. He's trapped. Perhaps not in a literal sense, but in an even more damning psychological one.

Today, I want to talk about this fascinating trap, how success and freedom can find themselves at odds, and how to design your life to avoid that fate...

I recently came across a quote that hit me hard:

Every meaningful path in life is lined with obstacles.

If you've ever pursued something grand or ambitious...

• Building a business
• Raising a family
• Changing careers
• Reaching an athletic milestone
• or anything in between

...you know the path is never smooth.

Roadblocks, bumps, thorns. They are the norm.

But here's a question worth asking yourself...

Want the key to success? As crazy as it sounds, I might actually be able to give it to you in the next 3 minutes...

You see, I spend a lot of time thinking about common threads across the lives of the people I admire. These are all people who are winning in their chosen worlds, whether that be a CEO in the boardroom, an artist in the symphony hall, an athlete on the field, a mom or dad in the home, or anything in between.

It's difficult to identify a common set of specific tactics.

As it turns out, there are a million different ways to achieve success. There's no magic routine. No perfect productivity system. No success equation.

But if you zoom out, there is one mindset that I have observed across every single one of these people...

When life gets hard, most people retreat to one of two worlds:

1. Naive Optimism: This is the world of pure positivity. It is marked by an unwillingness to confront the harsh facts, but also by a steadfast belief in the ability to navigate through to the other side.
2. Hopeless Realism: This is the world of pure negativity. It is marked by a desire to face the facts, but also by a loss of hope for the ability to navigate through to the other side.

But the people who survive the hard—the ones who grow stronger through the involuntary struggle—don’t operate at either extreme.

Instead, they live at the collision of those two worlds, blending Naive Optimism and Hopeless Realism into a perfect harmony.

As it turns out, this mindset has a name...

It’s commencement speech season.

I recently shared ​a series of powerful lessons​ from David Foster Wallace’s This Is Water commencement speech on its 20th anniversary.

Well, as it turns out, 2005 was a legendary year for wisdom from the commencement stage.

Just a few weeks after Foster Wallace’s brilliance, on June 12, 2005, Steve Jobs stepped to the podium to deliver the annual commencement address at Stanford University.

The speech has impacted my life in deep and lasting ways—shaping how I view purpose, ambition, creativity, and mortality.

In honor of its 20th anniversary, I want to share seven timeless lessons from that day (which we can all apply to our lives).

According to a famous legend, the ancient land of Phrygia (in what is now modern-day Turkey) was without a king. An oracle proclaimed that the next man to enter the city in an oxcart would become its king.

Soon after, a man named Gordius rolled into Phrygia on an oxcart with his wife and son and was swiftly proclaimed king of the land...
