by Andrea Goeglein I suspect being a creative mess is preferable to being a hot mess, but it has taken me a bit to process a recent @Time article written by blogger Eric Barker.  Barker asks, “Are you disorganized?” and then summarizes the findings of Steven Johnson’s book, Where Good Ideas Come From.  It appears...Read More

Rethinking Positive Thinking is all about how to stay motivated when you set a goal.  Having a great appreciation for synchronistic events, no sooner did I complete my work on my post about the book Rethinking Positive Thinking did I receive a blog post submission from another of my young adult contributors about goals and...Read More

The following blog is the copyright property of Doug Hensch, founder of DRH Group.  I was granted permission to reprint this post because it featured two things I care a lot about: 1) a business example that differentiates between positive thinking and Positive Psychology, and 2) a book suggestion with research which informs how to...Read More
