1: How Successful People Stay Calm - Dr. Travis Bradberry

"Besides increasing your risk of heart disease, depression, and obesity, stress decreases your cognitive performance. Fortunately, though, unless a lion is chasing you, the bulk of your stress is subjective and under your control. Top performers have well-honed coping strategies that they employ under stressful circumstances. This lowers their stress levels regardless of what’s happening in their environment, ensuring that the stress they experience is intermittent and not prolonged."

2: 6 Toxic Behaviors That Push People Away: How to Recognize Them in Yourself and Change Them - Kathy Caprino

"People are toxic to be around when they believe that everything that happens in life is a direct assault on them or is in some way all about them. The reality is that what people say and do to you is much more about them than you. People’s reactions to you are about their filters, and their perspectives, wounds, and experiences. Whether people think you’re amazing or believe you’re the worst, again, it’s more about them. I’m not saying we should be narcissists and ignore all feedback. I am saying that so much hurt, disappointment and sadness in our lives comes from our taking things personally when it’s far more productive and healthy to let go of others’ good or bad opinion of you."

4: Caffeine: The Silent Killer of Success - Dr. Travis Bradberry

"Drinking caffeine triggers the release of adrenaline. Adrenaline is the source of the “fight-or-flight” response, a survival mechanism that forces you to stand up and fight or run for the hills when faced with a threat. The fight-or-flight mechanism sidesteps rational thinking in favor of a faster response. This is great when a bear is chasing you, but not so great when you’re responding to a curt email. When caffeine puts your brain and body into this hyper-aroused state, your emotions overrun your behavior."

5: The No. 1 Career Mistake Capable People Make - Greg McKeown

"Capable people end up doing lots of projects well but are distracted from what would otherwise be their highest point of contribution, which I define as the intersection of talent, passion, and market (see more on this in the Harvard Business Review article "The Disciplined Pursuit of Less"). Then, both the company and the employee lose out."

"He says a shareholder has to act as if he owns the entire business, looking at the future profit stream and deciding what it’s worth. And you have to be willing to ignore the market rather than follow it because you want to take advantage of the market’s mistakes -- the companies that have been underpriced."
