Book Review: "Do the KIND Thing"

I picked it up from the new releases section at the library on a complete and total whim. I skimmed through most of it (business culture stuff), slowing over the parts of his personal story (his background as a Mexican Jew with parents who survived Dachau is really interesting). The most salient points to me were the following re: UNPLUGGING from tech and a couple bonus thoughts.

"Talking with yourself often and deeply is not always an easy task but there are no shortcuts to understanding what makes you tick. You must take the time to ask yourself questions....We need to dream - to consciously daydream. To let our thoughts and our consciousness take us wherever they may."

"One of the biggest dangers of smartphones and other digital devices is that we don't get a chance to talk to ourselves as much. We're constantly getting stimulation, reviewing email, voicemail, and social media .We don't give ourselves the time to let our minds go where they want to go. You need to block out time. If you can, structure your work life to have one hour during which you let your brain go every day."
...
"Creative brainstorming and conscious drifting should be encouraged

Bonus:
"I'd rather make the mistake of giving to someone who doesn't need it than run the risk of not giving a hand to someone who does."

On public speaking/performing: "Imagine that every one of these people is a flower: This one is a lily, this one is a rose..." (Better than the old imagine people naked trick!)
