Looking together in the same direction.

Looking together in the same direction.
Sea otters hold hands while they sleep so they don't drift apart.

"Instructions for living a life.

Pay attention.

Be astonished.

Tell about it."

The Johnson Treatment (the LBJ way)



     Did you know
Lyndon Johnson was a physically-imposing man.  No President other than Lincoln was taller than LBJ.  At nearly 6’4” and weighing 220-230 pounds during his Presidency, LBJ towered over his aides and many of his contemporaries.  He used that physicality to administer the Johnson Treatment.  LBJ grabbed people by their lapels, squeezed their arms and legs, stamped on feet, kicked shins, and leaned on them, penetrating their personal space and becoming a part of them while hoping that they decide to just agree with him so he’ll go away.
