The Card Effect
I send out thank you notes. I have ever since my mother sat me down after my bar mitzvah and explained what a kerfufle it would be if I didn’t send cards to all of our family and friends who gave me presents. This habit has served me well in business, and I’ve come to [...]

Over the course of two lunches, I asked both of them [...]
