Adam Grant Says You’re Probably Terrible at Asking for Advice - Inc.com

College ROI: Higher Education Leads to Significant Earnings Boost, According to a New Study

We all know that asking for advice from experts is one of the best ways to get smarter and better at whatever you choose to do. Science even shows that asking for advice makes others think you're smarter. And, as far back as the time of Benjamin Franklin, clever strivers understood that asking for advice is also a sneaky form of flattery that can help cement relationships and build your network.

All in all, getting good advice is hugely valuable for entrepreneurs (as well as everyone else). The problem, according to Adam Grant in his new book Hidden Potential, is that most of us are pretty terrible at asking for it.

The U.S. Government UFO Cover-Up Is Real—But It’s Not What You Think - The Atlantic

Decades of declassified memos, internal reports, and study projects create the sense that the government doesn’t have satisfying answers for the most perplexing sightings.

There aren’t many secrets that John Brennan doesn’t know. He spent 25 years in the CIA, became the White House homeland-security adviser, and then returned to the CIA as its director. If a question interested him, he could’ve commanded legions of analysts, officers, surveillance networks, and tools to find the answer. Yet in a December 2020 interview with the economist Tyler Cowen, Brennan admitted, somewhat tortuously, that he was flummoxed by the wave of recent reporting about UFOs: “Some of the phenomena we’re going to be seeing continues to be unexplained and might, in fact, be some type of phenomenon that is the result of something that we don’t yet understand and that could involve some type of activity that some might say constitutes a different form of life.”

That roundabout and convoluted comment piqued my interest. Anything that puzzled Brennan was worth looking into. For the next two years, I dove into the history of the U.S. government’s involvement in UFOs as part of writing my new book, and along the way I’ve become convinced that a cover-up is real—it’s just not the one that you think. Plenty of revelations, declassified documents, and public reports suggest active, ongoing deception. Even today, the government is surely hiding information about its knowledge and working theories about what exists in the skies above.

The High Anxiety Of Holding On To Your Job And The Great Apprehension Of Losing It - Forbes

The fear of layoffs and job insecurity can be crippling and lead to increased stress and worry. This ... [+] anxiety can have a profound impact on employee well-being and job performance.

The culmination of concerning global macro trends, troubling economic signs, and fears over artificial intelligence stealing jobs and positions being offshored to other countries has heightened job insecurity for white-collar workers.

While the bold headlines depicting major layoffs have somewhat subsided, there continues to be a routine stream of job cut announcements. It’s rational for people to feel that if Big Tech tightened the belt and reduced headcount, what chance do they have of feeling safe at a smaller, less prestigious organization?
