Truth Bomb Tuesday: We’re here for a good time, not a long time. If it’s one thing I’ve learnt it’s that life is short. So short. It’s one of the great tragedies of life is that you just don’t appreciate how short life is until you’re most the way through it. When I was young, […]
T-Bomb: You only have one job
Truth Bomb Tuesday: It’s as simple and as difficult as that. There is only one thing you have to do. You only have one job. To be successful, to live a fantastic life, it all hinges on one simple task. I know that sounds strange. To most people success feels like building a massive sandcastle […]
T-Bomb: There are no adults
Truth Bomb Tuesday: This is not universal, but it’s common. Having worked with tens of thousands of students over the years, there is really one fact that’s jumped out at me. No two people are the same. Our psyches are as unique as fingerprints. But that doesn’t really help me much if my mission is […]
T-Bomb: Read this before you quit your job
Truth Bomb Tuesday: Jobs suck. Let’s not pretend otherwise. What can you do if you hate your day job?

T-Bomb: How to capitalise on the market for talents
Truth Bomb Tuesday: Just because it’s easy, doesn’t mean it’s not valuable. There’s a paradox in economics. It is the idea that value of something is connected to how scarce it is, not how useful it is. Take water for example. Water is about the most useful thing on the planet. Without it, we are […]
T-Bomb: Yoda was wrong.
Truth Bomb Tuesday: Yoda was a product of his time. I rewatched The Empire Strikes Back the other day, and I think I know what’s wrong with the world. (It’s amazing how well that film holds up. Classic.) Anyway, there’s a point where Luke is deciding to rush off and help Hans and Leia, while […]
T-Bomb: How to be truly free
Truth Bomb Tuesday: Our operating system is outdated. Don’t let it rule your life. Imagine a simple, old-school computer game. In it, there are objects to avoid, and objects to move towards. You move towards the good things and away from the bad things. You get points if you get the good things. You lose […]
T-Bomb: Why these words make me angry
Truth Bomb Tuesday: Why does some criticism make you angry? Imagine two scenarios. In the first, I’m out doing the grocery shopping. Some random person comes running up to me and says, “You should learn more about boat building in ancient Greece!” I’d be like, “Whatever random guy. What are you even talking about?” and […]
