“Deciding what not to do is as important as deciding what to do.”-Steve Jobs
Welcome (back) to the Lawyer’s Well-Being Brief! Each week, I share insights and practical strategies to help us cultivate well-being and thrive — both personally and professionally. This week, we are looking at True Success: A New Philosophy of Excellence written by Tom Morris.
