Focused Issues
- Occasionally, the author "gets on a kick" and sticks with a topic or issue for one or more days in a row.
- A specific focus might be on the nature of wisdom or how roles and professions get caught in ego games.
- While editing this group of (365) quotations for publication, it was noticed that there were many quotations regarding self-talk.
- "Self-talk" is the inner dialogue or conversations that one has with themselves.
- Since most of adults' psychology concerns self-talk, this is a healthy and potentially productive focus.

Daily Quotations
- This book consists of the daily quotations that this author posted to his website and blog during 2011.
- It continues a series that was started in 2003 and has been continuing ever since, with the current collection being compiled in 2020.
- This book is the latest publication in this series, bringing the total to eight volumes.
- Years 2003 and 2004 were combined because 2003, the first year, was not a full year.
- When a year of postings becomes a book, that year is removed from the website because the postings have been edited and modified.
- The quotations are typically a group of five (or sometimes six) consecutive statements on or about the same theme or topic.
- This repetition is considered conducive to learning and finding different insights and perspectives on the same issue, theme, or topic.
