Tim Ferriss Wants You to Piss People Off – and other highlights from the Week in Relationships

Posted on December 4th, 2009 by Sara Grace

Productive post-Thanksgiving week, I hope? Here at KF.com we're looking forward to our holiday party tonight - bowling and karaoke. Maybe we'll even get some video...  :-)

Now, this week in links:

Don't be a jerk! From Karen Salmansohn, a great piece on Oprah.com about how to NOT be a jerk next time you have a fight. It's geared toward couples, but I've worked in at least one office environment where we could have used her suggestions. Regrettably.

Keith passed me this NY Times article on biologists studying helpful tots with this boldfaced reminder: "It's in our nature to help!"

Get out your tissues to read about the Lifeline group to end all Lifeline groups, reported on in the WSJ. Thanks to Michael Dill for the link.

Do you waste time listening to the wrong people? Seth Godin says, quit it!

Tim Ferriss wants you to piss people off.

And finally, a piece in The Economist on visionary leadership. Not only do leaders need a great vision, they need the story or metaphor to make it real for everyone else.

I'd like to hear stories about the last time you had to piss someone off in order to be true to what you knew was right. Anyone?

  1. searched your website and don't see the personal success wheel download, or any of the other downloads, you said were on your website in your book.

  2. We're working on getting those resources back up on the new site. They should be up in the next week. Right now you can find the Personal Success Wheel in the "6 Steps to Goals" Free Guide on this site. Go to the "Free Guide" tab.
