For many of us, the workplace in recent years has been dominated by anxiety. How will we keep our people safe? How will we adjust and adapt to hybrid work? How will we continue to be productive and profitable? How will I prove myself indispensable in the age of AI and keep my job? In this high-stress and high-stakes environment, some of this worry is a positive motivator, encouraging us to anticipate and prepare for future challenges. But eventually, the worry becomes a distraction. The constant focus on future uncertainty makes us feel increasingly out of control. And when we…

Have you heard how young people suffer now? Scroll TikTok, Instagram, etc., you see the same message: “Young people today can’t get ahead!” One popular meme says when Baby Boomers like me were young, “a family could own a home, a car and send their kids to college, all on one income.” “That’s a fantasy,” says economist Norbert Michel. “We are much better off than we were.” On social media, many young people say things like, “Most people don’t live in houses because it’s too expensive.” Yes, homes cost more now, but Census data show more Americans own their homes…

Stephen R. Covey, author of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People (1989), was one of the first to define the difference between an abundance mindset and a scarcity mindset. A scarcity mindset assumes there’s a fixed amount of success, recognition, or resources in the world. In contrast, an abundance mindset believes there’s enough success and opportunity for everyone—collaboration and generosity create more for all. Years later, psychologist Carol Dweck explored similar ideas in her work on the “fixed vs. growth mindset” (Mindset, 2006), applying them to learning and personal development. Both frameworks point to the same truth: how we…

A short walk from the home where long-time Wall Street financier Howard Rubin lived with his wife and three children in Manhattan, he kept a second apartment. The $18,000 a month penthouse at Metropolitan Tower Condominium on 57th street, just below Central Park, has excellent views — but most of his visitors never got to see them. According to prosecutors Rubin converted the place into a seedy “built-in” sex dungeon where he allegedly tortured dozens of women with savage beatings, rape and even electrocutions. Rubin used the penthouse on the W 57th purely for sexual purposes as he lived in…

The Giants are now underdogs to the winless Saints despite defeating the Chargers in their last game. In perhaps a surprising move, the Giants opened as 1.5-point favorites to the New Orleans Saints, but have since moved off favorite status and fallen to +1.5 underdogs. This line movement may be related to Malik Nabers’ injury,…
