Today I was interviewed on the radio for the Jacey Eckhart Show to talk about LOS. Depending upon which side of the fence you are on, we can all be in disagreement about the business of war and peace. However the one fact that most of us can agree upon is that the families of military personnel really face a complex life that is often thrust upon them without choice. In the interview, I referenced this great talk I saw by Helen Fisher at TED that attested to the unique power of women to handle complexity better than men. My wishes for peace and simplicity in 2007 go to all families on all sides.

Next week I will be in my hometown of Seattle to talk about The Laws of Simplicity at The Elliott Bay Book Company on Monday, November 20, at 7:30PM.

The good folks at beloved core77 are hosting a conference in Boston on November 15, 2006. I’m looking forward to meeting core77 Editor-in-Chief Allan Chochinov. Based upon our conversation on the telephone, he’s a man of great passion. Exhibiting the right level of passion is a surefire way to instill trust. Too little passion, then apathy breeds indifference; too much passion, then trust turns into fear. Allan’s level of passion is juuuuuuuust right.
