American Cultural Colonialism
The story is that someone said to Levy Eshkol, the prime minister of Israel during the 1950s, “There is a drought.” “Oh, no!” he shouted. “Where?” “It is in the Negev, the Israeli desert.” “Oh my,” he said, relieved. “I got worried. I thought it was in America.” Many countries depend on and look up to America. America is a model that young people especially try to copy. It is a country with freedom for economic activity, the sense…

Do People Change?
My view is no, people do not change. You can neither turn a fish into a bird that flies great distances high in the sky nor a bird into a fish that swims deep in the ocean. How many, seriously, how many divorces happen because one or both parties insist that the other party changes their personality or style? We are what we are. It is genetically determined. Research done in Denmark followed babies from…

How to Manage Long-Term Goals
Have you ever walked a long walk and your destination is quite a long, far away from you? As you walk and you look at the destination, it looks so far you might get discouraged. You might think, “Oh my God, this is too far, it will take too long to get there.” Then, as…

Does Disempowerment Cause Crime?
I recently saw a series of videos by Yuval Harari on YouTube about the future of humanity. Just before that, I watched a documentary about Compton, the capital of crime in California. I saw some interesting parallels between the two subjects which I would like to share. In his video, Harari talked about how artificial intelligence will create a new class of people which he calls “economically useless.” This is a class…

Weakening Our Brains
“Anatomically, your brain isn't a muscle. However, there's a good reason why many people compare the brain to muscle—in both cases, the ‘Use it or lose it’ principle applies.”1 I have observed something interesting in my work travels worldwide: in less developed countries, the people I work with have less higher education but appear sharp, present, on the ball, and with bright eyes. In contrast, in a developed country, some of the more educated people appear as if they are not thinking on their feet; they…

Being Rich in a Poor Country
It seems that the highest standard of living is in a developed country like America. But I find that the higher standard of living is in a poor country, when you are financially comfortable, if not necessarily rich. The cost of living in developing countries is low. You can get a hamburger for a dollar in Azerbaijan in a respected restaurant. In Mexico, you can have a driver at your disposal twenty-four hours a day. And it costs pennies. You can have three maids at home. One…

Impeach Trump
Assume absolutely all of President Trump’s decisions are perfect. Just assume that everything from the trade war with China to the expensive, ineffective border wall, are the right choices. Suppose that even withdrawing from NAFTA and the Iran nuclear deal, and using acting secretaries to avoid congressional approval which de facto undermining democracy are the…

Who is the Soul Mate?
One hears a lot from young people about their search for their soul mate. It is a search for the perfect partner. It reminds me of the title of one of my books: The Ideal Executive: Why You Cannot Be One and What to Do About It (1) By the same token, you cannot be…
