Event + Response = Outcome

by | Jun 2, 2010 | 0 comments

So often we have no control over the events in this equation. These events happen to us – usually not because of us. We may get fired, get bumped from a flight, find ourselves in a traffic jam, etc. We may have no control over the event. Yet, the outcome is a result of the event AND the response – which we do control. We can control how we respond. Too often we see external events destroy people and they go through life angry. But if they looked in the mirror they would see the other part of the problem – their own response.

These are just some of the ideas I talks about in my new book “Company of One”, due out this Fall.

AI Made You Faster. Why Are You More Exhausted?

AI was supposed to save us time. It can write in seconds what once took an hour, summarize a meeting almost instantly, and produce a first draft before we could have gathered the source material ourselves.

Yet many people are not working less. They are producing more, responding faster, supervising more output, and ending the day more exhausted.

The problem is not that AI failed to increase productivity. The problem is that productivity and freedom are not the same thing.
