Will Strauss
men guy born
When it comes to meeting and attracting women, many men are resigned and complacent. We figure some guys were born with that particular power and other guys weren't. I wasn't.
robots program
Most robots don't program themselves.
fun becoming scared
We make fun of those we're most scared of becoming.
fashion being-yourself order
There are certain bad habits we've groomed our whole life -- from personality flaws to fashion faux pas. And it has been the role of parents and friends, outside of some minor tweaking, to reinforce the belief that we're okay just as we are. But it's not enough to just be yourself. You have to be your best self. And that's a tall order if you haven't found your best self yet.
moral-high-ground two hatred
That's how hatred is created: two different groups, each insisting they're on the moral high ground
book people want
People don't come out for book events. They want to feel an emotion and be entertained.
thinking interviews musician
I think there are just a million interviews in anthologies with famous musicians that are about the music, and they're really boring to read.

I feel like rock stars feel a sense of entitlement, whereas I just feel a sense of good fortune.
interviews wanted
I always wanted to interview Michael Jackson, because I just wanted to humanize him.
dog believe men
Men are not dogs. We merely think we are and, on occasion, act as if we are. But, by believing in our nobler nature, women have the amazing power to inspire us to live up to it.
keys busy social
A good organizer is key to anyone with a busy social life.
dream people progress
I've never trusted collaborations, because most people in this world are not closers. They don't finish what they start; they don't live what they dream; they sabotage their own progress because they're afraid they won't find what they seek.
art book winning
Because it's so easy to medicate our need for self-worth by pandering to win followers, 'likes' and view counts, social media have become the metier of choice for many people who might otherwise channel that energy into books, music or art - or even into their own Web ventures.
thinking ideas mind
He was telling the students about the hypnotic technique of using quotes in a conversation. An idea is more palatable ... if it comes from someone else. The unconscious thinks in terms of content and structure. If you introduce a pattern with the words, 'My friend was telling me,' the critical part of her mind shuts off.
