Most exciting project of 2014:
I’ve been working on developing a 3-day retreat on Intuition & Decision-Making, held at Garrison Institute (1 hr from NYC) on May 1-3, 2015, with the goal of helping analytical people understand and use their intuition. Through collaboration with Dr. Marta Sinclair, a professor at Griffith Business School in Australia, and the author of Handbook of Intuition Research, I’ve learned a great deal about intuition in the context of neuroscience, business strategy, entrepreneurship and creativity. The retreat is about sharing all I’ve learned. Two informational Q&A calls about Intuition & Decision-Making retreat are scheduled for Wed., Jan. 7th, 9-10 p.m. EST, and Thu., Jan. 8th, 12-1 p.m. EST. To RSVP, please email IntuitionRetreat@gmail.com with your preferred date/time. If you RSVP, the recording of the call will be emailed to you, even if you can’t make the call. Early bird registration pricing is valid through January 1st, 2015 (if you show up for the Q&A call and register within 24 hours, we’ll honor the early bird registration pricing), and we’ve added money-saving codes for those of you who are coming with friends. It may seem like May 2015 a long time away, but it can take time to plan a 3-day weekend away from everything.

Blog from which I re-posted articles most often in 2014:

Best NYC ice-cream of 2014:
