The Present
I launched this site in the midst of my “professional halftime,” in Fall 2019. After 20+ years in the corporate world, I took the summer off to invest in my family (last year, we moved back to the States after eight years in China) and to write a book.

Torment lives between knowing and doing
You know that frustrating, sludgy place? That one where you know what you need to do, should be doing... and yet you can't get yourself to move. The Greeks call this state of being, akrasia (“ah-CRAZE-ee-ah"). It's when we lack the will to do what we know we...
