From Business Insider see “How to Start an Interesting Conversation with Anyone.” This is a good piece. Far too many people are passive in the company of others. This could be very helpful.

This post from Life Hack is a reminder that there is value in reviewing one’s goals. See “5 Actions You Should Take to Plan Your Next 5 Years Well.”

On Being
I occasionally listen to NPR’s radio program On Being with Krista Tippett. Recently I listened to a portion of the podcast with Adam Grant, “Successful Givers, Toxic Takers, and the Life We Spend at Work.”
