		<description><![CDATA[As a naive new teacher I thought for sure that if I did all the right things and followed all the right steps, I'd be awesome at my job right out of the gate. What I refused to accept was that it takes time to learn how to teach...Lesson one: When you start a new job, don't build the Titanic. Go find yourself a little boat. And some guys who know how to sail.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What would YOU like to become a master of? If you’re in the work force, you may wish to become a master at your job. If you’re retired, maybe you would like to achieve mastery at a hobby - become a master gardener, or a master fisherman. Or we could apply mastery to people and relationships – becoming the best in the world at being a parent, or a spouse, or a friend to those in need. But what does it take to truly achieve mastery in any area of our life? Why do only a select few ever become great at what they do?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It seems like every time you turn around there's another horrible violent story about a crazed gunman. We turn to psychology to try to answer huge questions in the wake of these tragedies. Psychology captures my attention, and my imagination, because it offers hints or answers to some vital questions about our humanity.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I've been slowly digesting Richard Florida's "Who's Your City: How the Creative Economy is Making Where to Live the Most Important Decision of Your Life" for several weeks now. I'm not sure whether reading this book should be classified as self-improvement or self-torture for someone like me. This book fuels my feelings of dissatisfaction and desperation as I seek to nurture my creative spirit and build a career in a small, blue collar town. ]]></description>
