Todd Henry on Forming the Habit of Bravery and Developing Courageous Leadership
Beyond the To-Do List - Productivity for Work & Life
The Essence of Die Empty and Confronting Mediocrity with Bravery
The essence of Die Empty is the realization that most people unknowingly slip into mediocrity due to forces like aimlessness, busy boredom, comfort, delusion, ego, fear, and guardedness. Even the most talented individuals are prone to settling for mediocrity by relying solely on their talent and instincts. It takes bravery to confront these forces because it requires countercultural and counterintuitive actions, investing time and energy rather than choosing convenience and comfort.

The message of bravery is not about becoming superhuman, but rather being fully human by confronting mediocrity.
