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...

In 1968, an ecologist named Garrett Hardin published ​an essay​ that described the perils of individual short-term thinking on shared resources:

This so-called Tragedy of the Commons is a situation in which individual actors, acting in their own rational self-interest, destroy a valuable shared resource.

As I see it today, this mental model from 1968 is a useful lens through which to consider the modern situation we’re facing with AI...

I recently came across a quote I can't stop thinking about:

We live in a world that celebrates consistency.

You're reading a newsletter that ​celebrates consistency​.

We're taught that success is found on the other side of consistent action. That showing up, repeating our actions, day after day, is the only surefire way to earn the things we want in life.

And there's truth in that: Consistency is indeed a powerful force for good.

But, like most things, the dose makes the poison...

Last week, I went on my first “Think Week” retreat.

Three days. Limited connectivity. No meetings. Just reading, deep conversations, journaling, and thinking.

I typically try to take a “Think Day” about once a month—but with the utter chaos of my book launch and tour over the last 12 months, I hadn’t been able to create the space necessary to zoom out and properly engage in this ritual.

If I’m being completely honest, I’d grown increasingly overwhelmed during that period. I'd felt the steady buildup of stress, anxiety, and tension that thrives in a reactive environment of constant stimulus and response.

So when my business partner proposed a “Think Week” retreat at his home in Cabo, I blocked my calendar and eagerly awaited its arrival...

One of my favorite quotes comes from ​Siddhartha​ by Hermann Hesse:

It highlights a story that plays out over and over again in our lives:

You’re doing the work. You’re showing up. You’re taking action. But the rewards you expected are nowhere to be seen.

And that’s exactly when the self-doubt starts creeping in. Slowly at first, then all at once...
