Chilling:
-In 65-75% of rape cases, investigators never even interviewed the victim
-In many cases, the suspects were never questioned
-Thousands of rape kits went untested, letting countless serial rapists go free
Suspend disbelief. Serve justice.

Unconscious bias training won't solve your diversity problems.
But you can improve it by running experiments to A/B test different approaches.
Don't stop at what checks the legal box. Study what changes attitudes and actions.

What’s the worst career advice you’ve ever received?
Mine:
(1) Don’t waste your time helping others
(2) Drop 90% of your projects, because you can only do one at a time
(3) Don’t write a book

Multitasking isn't a problem if you do it slowly.
Highly creative scientists switched topics 43x in their first 100 papers.
Juggling a portfolio of projects can unlock insight. It's like cross-training your brain.

When you ask for help, don't insist on paying it back.
Reciprocity is a norm, not a law.
Trading favors is a transaction, not a relationship.
Relationships don't require perfect balance. They revolve around generosity—giving and receiving without obligation.

Creativity doesn't fall over time because of age. It falls because our output falls.
Study of film directors, scientists, artists: creative bursts can occur at any age, and typically last 4-5 years.
To stay original, keep producing.

In difficult career decisions, don't fool yourself into thinking your job is to choose the objectively better option.
Don't ask whether Harvard is better than Stanford or McKinsey is better than Bain.
Ask which place is a better fit for your values and goals.

Anger and frustration are rarely caused by other people's actions. They're caused by how you interpret their actions.
To change your reactions, question your explanations. You know what they did, but not why. New interpretations pave the way to new emotions.

Your role models seem out of reach because you only see them at their peak.
To make them relatable, rewind the clock. What looks like natural talent is revealed as hard-earned skill.
Study the trials and tribulations that tested—and shaped—their character.

More evidence that men aren't better leaders than women:
Of 19 key leadership capabilities, women outscore men in 17.

30 years ago today, @SeinfeldTV premiered. Without it, the English language would be missing:
-Festivus
-Close talkers
-Double-dippers
-Regifting
-Man-hands
-Serenity now
-The mimbo
-Jerk stores
-It's not a lie if you believe it

Liking someone is not a sign that you'll like working with them.
Having similar interests doesn't mean you'll have similar goals or working styles.
Choose collaborators who share your values and complement your skills.

You communicate your values in your time with your kids, but also in how you choose to spend your time away from them.
Part of being a good role model is doing meaningful work and helping others outside your family.

High-performing individuals set goals that are ambitious and specific.
High-performing teams make their goals transparent and discuss them frequently.

Leaders don’t claim to be victims of injustice. They take responsibility for stopping injustice.
Leaders don’t attack the powerless. They shield the powerless from attacks.
Leaders don’t assert their own greatness. They nurture greatness in others.

Practicing the same skill back-to-back is less effective than mixing up different skills.
Varying your practice focuses attention and accelerates learning. Do an anagram between math problems. Shoot a 3 between free throws.

HR rarely has the power to stop sexual harassment.
If you want a culture of respect, it has to be a top priority of top leaders.
No excuses for bad behavior. No exceptions for star performers.
