Dope is my co-pilot

by Jeff Price | Jun 13, 2013 | 50 Books in 50 Weeks, Brain Matter, Life & Career Success

Dopamine. Turns out that little awesome molecule is an awesome indicator predictor of events and helps us make decisions (Lehrer 34-35). When our nuclear accumbens (NAcc) is stimulated (that’s a part of our brain that generates pleasurable feelings) it triggers...

We all talk to ourselves anyway, why not say nice things then

by Jeff Price | May 18, 2013 | 50 Books in 50 Weeks, Basic Success Principles, Life & Career Success

When I read a lot of psychology or self-help books I see a lot about visualization, talking to ourselves, imagining how we want to be and actually seeing ourselves in the situation. For the longest time I too thought it was a lot of psycho-babble nonsense, but then...

It is all just really in our heads? Ken Baum, author of Mind over Business: How to Unleash Your Business and Sales Success. I once was complaining that owning a business isn’t like when I was a government employee and I could just show up at work, do nothing...

Nothing Ventured, Nothing Gained

by Jeff Price | Apr 23, 2013 | 50 Books in 50 Weeks, Basic Success Principles, Life & Career Success

I love this quote from Ferrazzi’s book, Never Eat Alone: And Other Secrets to Success, One Relationship at a Time: “As my dad used to say, no one becomes an astronaut by accident.” A key secret to success in any endeavor is the intent to achieve it...

A year later, the bill proposing to abolish the TSA is sitting in committee taking a very long nap. This is the way Congress quietly disposes of ideas it doesn’t want to touch (S.1180 – Abolish TSA Act of 2025 has been in the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation since March 27).
