Tim Ferriss on negotiating with reality.
Who is Tim Ferriss? He’s the guy that wrote The 4–Hour Workweek, a number one, best-selling book about how to change your life, and have it all – really.

How to find a pig that flies.
There’s irony in the fact that this is a blog about creativity and yet I find myself constantly looking for creative things to write about. You might imagine that being creative would make it easier to find things worth writing on a blog about creativity, but it doesn’t.
