  • So imagine stepping out of your day to day life and just dropping yourself into a gorgeous 130 acre natural playground for three and a half days of learning and laughing and moving your body and calming your brain and just reconnecting with people who see the world the same way that you do and just accept you as you are.

  • So that's what we've actually created with our camp GLP experience.

  • We've brought together this line of inspiring teachers, from art to entrepreneurship and writing to meditation, pretty much everything in between.

  • And it's this beautiful way to fill your noggin with ideas to live and work better and to fill your heart.

  • And with this rare opportunity to create the type of friendships and stories you thought you pretty much left behind decades ago.

  • And it's all happening at the end of August, just 90 minutes from New York City.

  • And more than half actually, well, more than half the spots are already gone at this point.

  • Be sure to grab your spot quickly because our final $100 early bird discount ends June 15, 2016.

  • After that, it goes up to full price.

  • So you can learn more@goodlifeproject.com camp or just click the link in the show notes.

  • Now.

  • Sometimes you can make a decision that's good for sort of the whole organization, and it's not good for a small percentage of people.

  • And that's a real leadership sort of defining moment.

  • Are you committed to the culture, or are you committed to people in such a way that you'll let them change the culture?

  • So I don't know if you've ever noticed this, but a whole bunch of the rules that govern the way we work, especially if you work in a larger organization, seem to actually not really fuel great productivity, great performance, total happiness.

  • So the question is, why do they still exist?

  • You know, we've been working as a human race in various shapes and forms for really long time, and now we've got these organizations, companies, groups that have been built, and then we have rules and cultures.

  • So why do so many of those rules?

  • Why do so many of sort of like the guidelines that we live and breathe by for the vast majority of our waking hours?

  • Why are they very often so dysfunctional?
