Self help, because you are your greatest asset.
From Zero to the 1%
When Marcus was 22, his bank account balance was $17.43. He knew the exact number because he had checked it five times that day. Not out of hope... out of habit. Each time the number stayed the same, like a stubborn reminder that life hadn’t gone the way he imagined.

The Man Who Saved the World by Doing Absolutely Nothing: The Terrifying True Story of Stanislav Petrov
We are conditioned to believe that history is shaped by violent, explosive action. We are taught that the fate of the world is decided on blood-soaked battlefields, in crowded parliaments, or by the stroke of a pen from a powerful leader. We assume that to save humanity, you must draw a sword, fire a weapon, or leap into the line of fire.

Why Most Intelligent People Struggle in Life and Careers
I have watched brilliant people ruin themselves with almost scholarly precision. Not all at once. Not in the movie version where the gifted student flames out and everyone whispers about wasted potential. Real decline is slower and more bureaucratic than that. It happens in graduate offices with dead ficus plants, in startup conference rooms that smell faintly of burnt coffee and dry-erase marker, in labs where somebody with a spectacular mind cannot answer a simple email for nine days because the email is not interesting enough.

My Fear of Fiction
Introduction I don't think I am very good at fiction and don't believe that I could ever write a book. To me, there is too much planning involved and my mind likes to run off in an uncontrolled manner where I reign it in if I get too wild. This is really about how I manage to write fiction despite being scared stiff every time I put pen to paper, or finger to keyboard.
