For this hands off way of thinking, I highly recommend the Tao te Ching and the Book of Leadership and Strategy (Tao te Ching part 2), translated by Thomas Cleary. I am a big fan of Taoism and Zen Buddhism. Alan Watts is also a good resourc

Your ego and your conscious mind are the source of most of your problems. Meditate to delve deeper and find out who you truly are. (Or more accurately, who you are not.) If you can tap into and sync up with this inner self, your problems wi

You're just starting your path on computer science, and it's common to feel this way when you're approaching a mid-level engineer. But do realize that the entire industry is at its infancy compared to many others. Here are so

Let's forget about the tens of thousands of companies that thrived and hundreds of thousands of jobs created for Bill Gates' horrible ways. And the fact that they willingly paid because they thought having Microsoft products was b

I attempted uberman on two separate occasions and had to stop in fear that lack of sleep would permanently damage my brain. I was able to hit rem every nap after 2-3 weeks but never recovered on sleep within the 30 day transition period. I&

Yes. I am now 32 and realized how hard my personal life suffered from thinking I could accelerate my career by working as hard as I could starting around 2013. Sure, I got promoted around once a year and my salary jumped 10-15% per year wit

I don't even believe Trump was glorifying violence, but calling him out as if he did sure could rally the people who are actually starting the violence against innocent businesses and civilians. Too bad Twitter doesn't have to gov
