Marc Brackett
“For example, more and more schools are incorporating project-based learning and design thinking—a five-stage process for solving complex problems that includes (1) defining a problem; (2) understanding the human needs involved; (3) reframing the problem in human-centric ways; (4) generating a multitude of ideas; and (5) a hands-on approach in prototyping and testing.”
Marc Brackett, Permission to Feel: The Power of Emotional Intelligence to Achieve Well-Being and Success

Nicholas Carr
“Every intellectual technology, to put it another way, embodies an intellectual ethic, a set of assumptions about how the human mind works or should work.”
Nicholas Carr, The Shallows: What the Internet is Doing to Our Brains

Jim Kwik
“Zeigarnik effect—that uncompleted tasks created a level of tension that keeps that task at the front of our minds until it is completed.”
Jim Kwik, Limitless: Upgrade Your Brain, Learn Anything Faster, and Unlock Your Exceptional Life

“You see, the center of Christianity has always been Jesus Christ. It is not the Bible. It is not expository preaching. It is not a personal response to the gospel message. As important as all of these are for supporting the center, the focal point of right Christian faith is God the Son who became man, lived a life of perfect righteousness, revealed the Father, died for our sins, rose from the dead, ascended into heaven, bequeathed the Spirit, and will come again.”
Michael J. Svigel, RetroChristianity: Reclaiming the Forgotten Faith

Paul David Tripp
“Limits not only reveal his wisdom; they also express his love. Limits are not a prison; they are a grace. You cannot allow your leadership community to assign more work to a leader than can be done in the time allotted to him or her. You cannot ask a person to pile work upon work, day after day, without periodic Sabbaths of rest. There are few more important things for a spiritually healthy leadership community to consider than the time limits that God designed for his creation from the get-go.”
Paul David Tripp, Lead: 12 Gospel Principles for Leadership in the Church
