Aaron Miller @aaronmiller.info · 03/07/2026There’s a fascinating story in my family history where two lines crossed once, then not again for a hundred years. It begins on a ship called the John M. Wood in Liverpool, set out for New Orleans. But really it's the story about how I became an American. www.aaronmiller.info/birthright/ 010

Aaron Miller @aaronmiller.info · 26/09/2025A common misunderstanding people have about finding a calling in life is that a calling means being free from any frustration, mundanity, or discomfort. The things worth doing *all* involve work that is, at times, unpleasant. Better advice is to follow your blisters, not your bliss. #fromclasstoday 000
Aaron Miller @aaronmiller.info · 26/09/2025You might have heard this before: “Choose a job you love, and you will never work a day in your life.” I think that's wrong, and misleading. #fromclasstoday 110
Aaron Miller @aaronmiller.info · 22/09/2025#fromclasstoday In a dilemma, it feels like you're choosing from a list of premade options. But that's not how decisions really work. The given options can almost certainly be improved. Making decisions means *making* them, like crafting an outcome that upholds what you value most. 120

Aaron Miller @aaronmiller.info · 18/09/2025During this period on the Fortune 500, Polaroid went from 480 to 205. Polaroid was an incredible company in its prime. And that's because Edwin Land, its CEO, knew where the real bottom line was. 000
Aaron Miller @aaronmiller.info · 18/09/2025- Elimination of time-clocks for determining pay - A vocational exploration program for all employees - Women hired into leadership roles since 1930’s - First major affirmative action program following assassination of Dr. King - Pioneering corporate philanthropy and community engagement 100
Aaron Miller @aaronmiller.info · 18/09/2025How much do you know about the original Polaroid? (More from my Helping class today.) What most people don't know is that Polaroid was a pioneer in creating a workplace where people could flourish. These slides show the Two Aims of the company, and here's what these aims led to: 100
Aaron Miller @aaronmiller.info · 17/09/2025And so we discuss human flourishing from the perspective of philosophers, psychologists, economists, and governments. But we land on the excellent Harvard Flourishing Measure, which you can take for yourself here. hfh.fas.harvard.edu/measuring-flour… 000
Aaron Miller @aaronmiller.info · 17/09/2025Are you flourishing? Are the people in your life flourishing? This week in my Helping Behavior class we're talking about how the only help we give that really matters is what helps someone flourish. So thinking about how people flourish makes us better helpers. 100
Aaron Miller @aaronmiller.info · 12/09/2025Thinking today about this description of healing from trauma that Rabbi Myers shared on an episode earlier this year. His synagogue, Tree of Life, suffered from a mass murder in their spiritual home almost 7 years ago. 100
Aaron Miller @aaronmiller.info · 11/09/2025Some of the best advice you'll ever get is to keep a list (in Notes on your phone) of people you go to for advice. I've taught business ethics for 18 years now, and I still turn to the people I trust to help me figure out hard decisions. We call it a CAM list: Counselors, Allies, and Mentors. 110
Aaron Miller @aaronmiller.info · 11/09/2025I'd planned to share something else from my classes today, but because of the murder of Charlie Kirk that happened at UVU (not far from BYU and where my son is a student), I thought I should skip ahead. Here's what I tell my students at the end of the semester. 101
Aaron Miller @aaronmiller.info · 10/09/2025The biggest mistake made by generous people? It's not being too generous. It's caring too much about giving, and not enough about the impact of your gift. Only 3% of donors actually research their giving. We make this mistake because giving feels good, so we focus on that instead of actual impact. 100
Aaron Miller @aaronmiller.info · 10/09/2025How do you find your own path to impact? I had the chance to talk about this question with my close friend and mentor Todd Manwaring on the Impact Innovations podcast. Having done three seasons of my own show, How to Help, I've learned that each of us will do it in our own, unique way. 100
Aaron Miller @aaronmiller.info · 09/09/2025More from class today (my Improving Helping Behaviors class): There's a name for the good feeling we get from seeing someone act kindly or with courage. The feeling is called Elevation, and it's in response to a thing called Moral Beauty. (It's so handy when something has a good name for it.) 120
Aaron Miller @aaronmiller.info · 08/09/2025I've been teaching for almost 20 years now, but I've never really shared what class is like. I had the thought this morning to share an idea or two from class. Follow along and I'll keep it going. Today in business ethics: ethical dilemmas and how they happen when good values come in conflict. 110
Aaron Miller @aaronmiller.info · 28/08/2025So this happened yesterday. 😄 Even with very little marketing, the show has been downloaded 20,002 times. I started How to Help as a passion project (which it still very much is!) and it's been one of my favorite things I've ever done. Each episode is timeless, so find the one that speaks to you! 100
Aaron Miller @aaronmiller.info · 17/08/2025The book title *Dangerous Love* ≠ tolerate abuse. It’s seeing humanity (Agape) while enforcing safety — leaving, calling police, or requiring treatment. Compassion can mean firm boundaries, not passivity. #Compassion #Boundaries 000
Aaron Miller @aaronmiller.info · 11/08/2025More Oregon coast pics, these ones from Proposal Rock. That first shot is with my son and his fiancé. Rainy day, but a gorgeous place. #landscapephotography #fujifilm 416112

Aaron Miller @aaronmiller.info · 19/05/2025Retaliation backfires because the person who started the conflict ends up feeling justified, not sorry. Hear Prof. @chadford.bsky.social explain how this happens, and hear the full podcast interview at how-to-help.com 000
Aaron Miller @aaronmiller.info · 16/05/2025Justice doesn’t have to mean retribution, especially with how it fuels more conflict.

Aaron Miller @aaronmiller.info · 14/05/2025Ending conflict is hard and scary, but everyone can do their part to make peace, including the Israeli and Palestinian youth who play on the same basketball team.

Aaron Miller @aaronmiller.info · 09/05/2025After the shooting at the Tree of Life synagogue, those who helped the most were everyday people. Rabbi Myers says that, even today, strangers reach out to offer help. The biggest impact comes from those who don't get any notoriety. Hear the full interview in your podcast app. #impact #kindness 000
Aaron Miller @aaronmiller.info · 07/05/2025Rabbi Myers of the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh doesn't use the word "hate" in his everyday conversation. Instead, he calls it the "H-word" and encourages all of us to stop using it, too. Listen to the How to Help interview in your favorite podcast player and at how-to-help.com. 010
