Making Lemonade

by Lane Wallace

Sometimes, change is something we bring upon ourselves voluntarily. We make a leap from the old path to the new (see my last post for more on this). But sometimes, change happens to us, against our will. The good news in those circumstances is, we don’t have to agonize over whether to change or not. [...]

Leaping into the New Year

by Lane Wallace

A recent New York Times article told the stories of four people who were starting the new year with big-leap changes in their lives. One was a woman whose leg had been mangled in a car accident two years ago. After two years bedridden and 16 unsuccessful surgeries, she finally decided in December to have [...]

On Happiness, Light, and the Eyes of a Child

by Lane Wallace

In the last couple of posts, we’ve shared a variety of thoughts and research results on what makes a human being happy. And still, we’ve only scratched the surface of the subject. But if so many people have written books and articles and conducted research on the subject, it’s probably because “happiness” is something we [...]

What Makes Us Happy? (continued)

by Lane Wallace

In the “Question of the Day” posted a few days ago, I left out one of the best sources I have come across on the subject. Ironic, because it ran in The Atlantic, where I contribute a twice-weekly online column. It’s also embarrassing, because I read the article this past summer with rapt attention. Not [...]

We’ve gotten a few comments and emails from readers asking about this subject. One reader specifically suggested a Question of the Day about whether it was better to be happy, or good.

My New Book: Unforgettable Adventures

by Lane Wallace

News flash: I have a new book out! It’s called Unforgettable, and it chronicles 10 of my most memorable flying adventures.

Keeping the Edge, Even When You’re a Billionaire

by Lane Wallace

Anyone who’s ever found themselves in the middle of a true-life personal, physical or professional adventure, where the outcome is uncertain and the edge of the cliff is disconcertingly close at hand, might wonder how anyone would envy their tenuous position. Most of the people who say they envy adventurers haven’t spent too much time [...]

Thanksgiving: Realizing We’re Okay Right Now

by Lane Wallace

In my e-book Surviving Uncertainty, one of the tips I offer for getting through challenging times or circumstances is to stop, take a deep breath, and ask yourself, “Am I okay right now?” I wish I could claim credit for that piece of wisdom (which has come in handy on more than one flying or [...]

On Time Leadership

by Mike Singer

I love epiphanies, and I had a big one a few weeks ago.
I was watching some very insightful videos on time management by Paul Lemberg, one of the most highly-regarded business coaches in the world. Lemberg has worked with hundreds of companies, ranging from solo ventures to Fortune 500 corporations. Along the way, he’s learned [...]
