Your life will improve if you commit to being honest at all times. This includes the little bullshit lies we tell to get out of things or make ourselves look better.

We live in an age of distraction. Data and our attention are the most valuable commodities on the planet and there are lots of things fighting for it.

The line between order and chaos is very thin. There is no avoiding chaos. In fact, the more you try to avoid it, the less prepared you will be when it comes.
