Employers shouldn't discourage side hustles—or hesitate to hire people who have them.
Data: after engaging evenings on their side gigs, people perform better the next day in their full-time jobs.
Side hustles aren’t a distraction. They’re a source of energy and empowerment.

Looking for the good in others doesn’t make you naive. It means you’re not cynical.
Recognizing people’s strengths doesn’t deny their flaws. It reveals their potential to overcome their flaws.
Those who refuse to see the good in others fail to bring out the best in others.

A long-term Swedish study looked at the effect of dairy fat on heart health. People who eat more dairy fat—plentiful in whole milk, yogurt, and cheese—may be less likely to develop #heart disease than people who eat smaller amounts of dairy: bit.ly/3sw69bq #HarvardHealth

At the root of our polarization problem is a deficit of intellectual humility. Too many people refuse to admit that they might be wrong.
Diversity of thought opens minds. Intensity of conviction closes them.
Knowing your knowledge is incomplete is a prerequisite for learning.
