Bruce Bites...

by Bruce Hughes

In each episode, I take a little bite out of a book. It helps crystallize the learning for me and hopefully provide some encouragement to you. I read a section of the book, re-read it, share my meaning, and invite you to make your own. No editing. Crying and sniffles are real. You’re welcome to cry, too.

Episodes

  1. Can’t live with these thoughts in my head!

    Today’s excerpt comes from “The Power of Now” by Eckhart Tolle. I share my experience with overthinking and anxiety and depression and how I’ve started to see some light at the end of the tunnel. Hopefully it’s not a train.

  2. If you’re sad, BE SAD.

  3. Take your damn lunch break!

    I put Covey down and picked up HBR. Listen to this episode and read the article for info on why you really need to take your lunch break. https://hbr.org/2021/01/take-your-lunch-break

  4. Protect the Goose!

    I talk about the P/PC principle in Covey’s 7 Habits.

  5. Personality vs. Character

    We’re back on Covey. What’s more important to you - what you think of yourself or what other people think of you? When I answer honestly, it’s the latter. But I’m trying to change that. If you are trying to change it, too, you might enjoy this episode.

  6. Bruce Bites Neff

    I introduce you to Kristin Neff's book, "Self-compassion: the proven power of being kind to yourself". I am not willing to let the little mean voice in my head continue to talk uninterrupted. And I need to learn how to be kind to myself. I'm so demanding and critical, you probably are too. Take a...

  7. Fix your lens!

    I finish the opening salvo in “inside-out”. Short and sweet.

  8. What’s bugging you, really?

    In this episode, we hear problems that people shared with Stephen Covey. Common problems about marriage, work/life balance, parenting, and communication. I try to keep the crying to a minimum, but who am I to deny my tears the right to flow?!?!
