From exponential technologies to exponential innovation
We developed the Shift Index to help executives understand and take advantage of the long-term forces of change shaping the US economy. The Shift Index tracks 25 metrics across more than 40 years. These metrics fall into three areas: 1) the developments in the technological and political foundations underlying market changes, 2) the flows of capital, information, and talent changing the business landscape, and 3) the impacts of these changes on competition, volatility, and performance across industries.

These rapid advances have the power to disrupt industries. Exponential innovations are rapidly moving across boundaries, causing traditional definitions to blur and blend. The changes wrought by exponential innovation are increasing the pressure on companies to perform. Unlocking the passion of the explorer Coherency in contradiction
7 Strange Questions That Help You Find Your Life Purpose
Embrace embarrassment. Feeling foolish is part of the path to achieving something important, something meaningful. The more a major life decision scares you, chances are the more you need to be doing it. Before you are able to be good at something and do something important, you must first suck at something and have no clue what you’re doing. That’s pretty obvious. Ergo, due to the transitive property of awesomeness, if you avoid anything that could potentially embarrass you, then you will never end up doing something that feels important. Yes, it seems that once again, it all comes back to vulnerability. Right now, there’s something you want to do, something you think about doing, something you fantasize about doing, yet you don’t do it. But what are those reasons? Great things are, by their very nature, unique and unconventional. Embrace embarrassment. The Answer to This Question Will Tell You:
12 Critical Things You Should Never Tolerate
There is so much in life that we just tolerate. Some of it we have to deal with (taxes, bad weather, traffic). But there’s a good portion of stuff that we tolerate even when we don’t have to. Sometimes just recognizing the things we are tolerating in life gives us a renewed sense of hope and energy. However, when you address some of your bigger tolerations, you can completely change the course of your life and open doors to a world of happiness and inner peace that you didn’t know existed. Think about the poorest of the poor, living in squalor and despair without the hope of a better future. In the same way, we must search for these portals that will allow us to move to the next level of powerful living. Do you want to walk through the portal to a happier life? 1. You spend nearly half of your life at your job. 2. A long commute to work by car or public transportation is stressful and empty. 3. Are you overweight? 4. 5. How you live is a reflection of who you are. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11.

Why You Should Learn to Tolerate Uncertainty and How To Get Better At It | Leveraging Adversity
For most people tolerating uncertainty is about as comfortable as waiting in line. We don’t what will happen, when it will, or most importantly, how we should respond. Yet some cultures, as a whole, tolerate uncertainty better than others. This tendency was first noticed by Geert Hofstede, author of Cultures and Organizations: Software of the Mind. Hofstede uncovered that some cultures prepare us to feel more comfortable with uncertainty than others. According to Hofstede, there are several factors that determine whether or not a culture has a high uncertainty avoidance. In education, cultures that rely heavily on educators to have the answers display high uncertainty avoidance compared to those where children are encouraged to be open-minded. On an individual level, people with a high uncertainty avoidance often like clear and predictable rules, tend to be formal in interactions, have a strict and rigid schedule, and are resistant to change. So how do we build uncertainty tolerance?

14 Lies Your Mind Tells You to Prevent Life Changes
The mind is a wonderful thing. It’s also a complete liar that constantly tries to convince us not to take actions we know are good for us, and stops many great changes in our lives. Scumbag mind. I’ve had to learn to watch these rationalizations and excuses very carefully, in order to make the changes I’ve made in my life: a healthier diet, regular exercise, meditation, minimalism, writing daily, getting out of debt, quitting smoking, and so on. If I hadn’t learned these excuses, and how to counter them, I would never have stuck to these changes. Let’s expose the cowardly mind’s excuses and rationalizations once and for all. First, the main principle: the mind wants comfort, and is afraid of discomfort and change. OK, with that in mind, let’s go into the excuses: 1. It seems too hard, so we think we can’t stick to the change. 2. Just because someone else can do it, doesn’t mean we can, right? 3. 4. 5. 6. This is also true, but you can learn. 7. 8. 9. Well, true. 10. Yep, me too. 11. 12. 13.
