		<description><![CDATA[A series of bizarre email troubles recently have got me thinking: Why is there not a word – at least a catchy phrase that someone has thrown against the wall – for email-induced confusion? One hardly goes a week without some incidence of screwy lag time between sending and receipt (at least, supposedly), or mistaken tone of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I just saw the movie Contraband. I absolutely love fast-paced films about intelligent, illicit activity. Plus, Mark Wahlberg is pretty convincing in criminal protagonist roles, so I have no complaints.
 
But there always seem to be elements of movies like this one that have gaps. You know what I’m talking about: parts of the storyline that [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I’m about 250 pages in to Walter Isaacson’s biography of Steve Jobs. (That’s less than halfway for those of you who haven’t laid eyes on the mammoth hardcover that I happen to be foolishly carrying around in my tote bag for those moments when I can get away with reading a morsel.)
I had heard that [...]]]></description>

It seems only fitting to be consumed by such a thought with the most gluttonous day of the year fast-approaching, but that’s really not what has fueled my hunger.
Instead, I’m inspired by a website [...]]]></description>

If you are interested, as we are, in archetypal phenomena, especially as they relate to brands, then you will be as excited as us to see David Croneberg&#8217;s A Dangerous Method. It tells the story behind Carl Jung&#8217;s astonishing psychological insights, learned first under the mentorship of the great Sigmund Freud, but then innovatively developing [...]]]></description>

As Teresa Amabile and Steven Kramer point out in this New York Times opinion piece, happy workers are not just some wishy-washy feel good fluff. Engaged employees drive the business bottom line. What is not to love about [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Any of you writers out there who use The AP Stylebook as a guide know that “the Oxford comma” (that one in a series that comes before the ultimate conjunction) is considered superfluous and ill-advised. Obviously, The Oxford Guide to Style disagrees.
Style manuals can argue until the cows come home, but let’s face it – [...]]]></description>
