Every Day Genius

February 15, 2026 [122] Self-Regulation A VIA Strength
The most cited study on self-regulation is about children set up in a room with the temptation of a marshmallow. Those who resisted the longest were found to be the most successful years later. What most articles and books that cite this study seem to imply is that either we have self-regulation or we don't. Today I explore this strength, and with the help of author Susan Fowler, we discover that there's more to self-regulation than mere temptation.

February 14, 2026 [121] Do You Want Love or Reason?
Happy Valentine's Day. On this day of love, I ask you, do you choose love? It is a choice, one that reason truly has not part in. This is the deep, unconditional love we all crave, and yes, it is a choice.
Frederic Keeling asks in The First Step in Mastery, "Which would you rather live with, a person who would reason with you, or one who would love you?"

February 13, 2026 [120] Living the Wooded Wilds
Brendon Burchard talks about the Wooded Wilds of living in the introduction to his book The Charge. Building on yesterday's episode, specifically regarding Emerson's challenge to us to live instead of merely getting ready to live, I explore briefly Burchards Wooded Wilds. Challenging? Yes. Exhilarating and worth it? DEFINITELY!!

February 12, 2026 [119] Still Getting Ready for Living?
Ralph Waldo Emerson makes an observational statement that sounds very matter of fact, but the matter is a challenge to us. Are we truly living or merely getting ready to live?

February 11, 2026 [118] The Power of Choice
In a prelude to topics covered in the following two episodes [119] and [120], I explore the etymological root of the word "choice," how I think it is related to the word "zest," our first VIA Strength of the year (See episode [78], link below), and also how choice is at the very foundation of our human experience.

February 09, 2026 [116] The Pursuit of Interesting with Angie Dixon
Joseph Campbell says, "Follow your Bliss." While Campbell meant something quite profound, his words are often erringly simplified to mean "just do what's fun." Angie Dixon of Profound Creativity says we fare much better if we follow what's interesting. That way when things aren't fun, and they aren't always fun, we can sustain activity and push through some of the less exciting moments.

February 08, 2026 [115] The Signal and the Noise
Expanding on yesterday's episode, today I focus more on what it means to be in tune, to be aligned. We must learn to embrace the paradoxical nature of action and inaction. We must actively "retreat" in order to tune in to the signal. What is perceived as inaction is intentional and purposeful, unlike an inaction that has no grounding in being and becoming but is instead an avoidance of those very things.

February 07, 2026 [114] Extravagant and In Tune
In Fate and Destiny, author and mythologist Michael Meade implies in an inspiring quote that more of us need to be extravagant enough to wander where our souls would lead us, but also a need to be "in tune" with our own ideas for our lives. In this episode I explore the words extravagant and tune/signal in the context of leading soul-fulfilled lives.
