“For centuries before Google, MIT, and IDEO, modern hotbeds of innovation, we struggled to explain any kind of creation, from the universe itself to the multitudes of ideas around us. While we can make atomic bombs, and dry-clean silk ties, we still don't have satisfying answers for simple questions like: Where do songs come from? Are there an infinite variety of possible kinds of cheese? How did Shakespeare and Stephen King invent so much, while we're satisfied watching sitcom reruns? Our popular answers have been unconvincing, enabling misleading, fantasy-laden myths to grow strong.” KindHas BeensStillsIdeasSongUniverseStrongGrowsSimpleAnswersFantasyModernCenturyCreationKingsInnovationInfiniteCleanMythSatisfiedVarietyTiesDryBombsSatisfyingCheeseGoogleMultitudesMisleadSilkSitcomEnablingAtomic BombMitReruns Author:Scott Berkun
“In truth I suspect that merely slowing down is not a very satisfying answer. What I need has less to do with my pace of life than my peace of life. At any speed, I crave a deep and lasting inner peace. And if it's solace I'm after, I don't need to pace myself like a turtle, change jobs or set up house on a quiet island. It is usually frenetic living, not high energy, that robs my peace of mind.” IfsNeedsMindJobsHouseEnergyAnswersQuietSpeedInner PeaceIslandsLastingPeace Of MindSuspectsPaceSatisfyingSlow DownCraveSolaceTurtlesSlowingHigh EnergyPace Of LifeSlower Pace Author:Steve Goodier
