As you likely know by now, much of the film takes place in the head of an 11-year-old girl named Riley, with five emotions—Joy, Sadness, Anger, Fear, and Disgust—embodied by characters who help Riley navigate her world.

Over the course of the year, we grappled with big public issues like terrorism, racism, and what schools should teach. We tackled “inside baseball” questions about the validity of psychological research and the best ways to measure happiness.

What Makes a Leader? Every businessperson knows a story about a highly intelligent, highly skilled executive who was promoted into a leadership position only to fail at the job.
And they also know a story about someone with solid—but not extraordinary—intellectual abilities and technical skills who was promoted into a similar position and then soared. Such anecdotes support the widespread belief that identifying individuals with the “right stuff” to be leaders is more art than science. After all, the personal styles of superb leaders vary: Some leaders are subdued and analytical; others shout their manifestos from the mountaintops. And just as important, different situations call for different types of leadership. Most mergers need a sensitive negotiator at the helm, whereas many turnarounds require a more forceful authority. The Top 100 New York Times Stories of 2015, by Total Time Spent. Review: ‘Too Much of a Good Thing’ Finds a Dilemma in Our DNA. History and Memory in Syria. The Syrian uprising is on the verge of its fifth anniversary.
To a great extent it has become the essential conflict of our times. Despite this – or perhaps because of it – the prospect of peace, despite some apparently encouraging signs from the United Nations, remains a chimera. Much – and understandably so – has been written about what Syria has become, and what led it there: the murders, the torture, the senseless slaughter, the almost inconceivable devastation. There is no shame in this; it is necessary and I have done more than my fair share. But sometimes this analysis is insufficient. Explicit cookie consent.

EVEN by the standards of the post-9/11 era, 2015 has been a exceptionally tumultuous year.
In 2015 the war in Syria grew more fractious, Islamic State more militant and calculus of the Middle East more incomprehensible. Europe witnessed the largest migrant flows since the second world war, unprecendented terrorist attacks on ordinary Parisians and the continuing rise of Russian belligerence. In America, police violence, gun crime and the social-justice movement reached new heights. Latin America turned away from the populist left, emerging economies screeched to a halt and illiberal fearmongers continued to climb up the polls across the world.

Luck and the entrepreneur, part 1: The four kinds of luck. Aug 14, 2007 In the last few weeks, I've been reading huge stacks of books on the psychology of creativity and motivation -- which is the reason for the relative scarcity of substantive blog posts.

Best of 2015: Top Tips, Insights, & Tricks. Nobody Cares How Hard You Work. As you sink into the couch, or slide onto the barstool, at the end of an exhausting workday, it’s hard not to experience the warm glow of self-congratulation. After all, you put in the hours, cranked through the to-do list; you invested the effort, and got things done. Surely you’re entitled to a little smugness? Sorry, but at the risk of ruining that martini: maybe not. We chronically confuse the feeling of effort with the reality of results—and for anyone working in a creative field, that means the constant risk of frittering time and energy on busywork, instead of the work that counts.
