Groß shares his personal insight with using Comfort Zone Challenges: small personal challenges that push us outside out comfort zone. A fantastic thing to do at least once a week.

Lopez suggests that we should split our social time in thirds with people who are: less developed than us (so we can mentor them), on par with us (so we can have people to play with) and those who are much, much better than us (so they can guide us to where we want to be).

Tulley presents interesting research to drive two main points: the things parents are most afraid will happen to their children are generally not even close to the things most likely to happen to their children and that letting children do “dangerous” things is very good for the child’s personal development and often poses little real risk to the child. For example, most parents fear, above all, that their child will be abducted when really parents should be most afraid of their child dying in a car accident.
