What’s it about? Tony Schwartz writes very interesting posts on his Blog. This one is one of his most provocative. Years ago a fellow named Eric Herzog dubbed me “The Mad Hugger”. I was in midlife and had just learned how to hug. I was giving out a lot of them in those days so I think the moniker was justified. I still enjoy hugging and would like to give a big one to Tony Schwartz for his thought-provoking words:

“Do you have the feeling, as I do, that in the tsunami of everyday life, we’re getting too much of stuff we don’t need, and not enough of what we do? Herewith my first set of suggestions about how to redress the imbalance:”

I would like to make today’s post interactive. Below is Tony’s list of 30.  At the bottom of this post is a place for comments. I would like you to add one more Need Less balanced by one more Need More. Let’s see what you can come up with. I dare you!  (And if several of you do, I will report back to you next week on the additions.)

Catch you later.
