"You don't have to be a great dad, you just have to be a good dad. The most important is be a relational dad."

Underparenting vs Overparenting

Pg 45. Kids are shaped by how their noticed (academics, sports, rebel, clown). "in my own family my sister receive straight A's, my brother was the quarterback, what was left for me? Academics and athletics were spoken for I became the family clown."

Ch 3. The dad sets the rulebook for the daughter that sets the benchmark for her relationships and eventual husband.

I can see how the reverse (mother/son) is true in my marriage in regards to expectations. Also, in Nikki with her dad.

Pg 265. The relationship between learning and disfluency. Handwritten notes vs computer typed notes.

Pg 266, if you read a book filled with new ideas force your self to put down and explain the concept to someone sitting next to you and you'll be more likely to apply them in your life.

Pg 229. Gap in the forest where the trees had come down or had burned in the gap is big enough to let sunlight in and allow other species to compete (in regards to creativity). Medium size disturbances allow space for creativity to ensue. Small or large disturbances can be counterproductive.

Ch. 7 Summary: mix new ideas with old ideas. Looking at solutions in the past and applying them in new industries, environments, or applications.

Pg 227. So much of the creative process relies on achieving distance on not becoming overly attached to your creation.

Pg 197, bayasean thinking. Base rates are important for good forecasting. The difference between prejudiced Bayesian thinking is that I try to improve my assumptions as we go along.

Pg 196. Success is easier to stare at, but researching failure helps us more accurately forecast future outcomes and be less biased or optimistic.

Ch 5 summary: star culture vs engineering culture vs bureaucratic culture vs autocratic culture vs commitment culture.

Having ppl closest to the work be empowered to solve problems is very successful. (Toyota factories & FBI)

Chapter 4 summary: SMART goals and stretch goals and the necessity of the two.
