Reading the article published earlier this year in the New York Times magazine “Is Giving the Secret to Getting Ahead?,” which profiles Adam Grant, a…
Angelina Jolie’s recent breast cancer disclosure, while controversial, was a whiff of fresh air for us over at ATA clothing. Rarely do glamorous celebrities come forward so bluntly about mastectomies and reconstruction surgeries. There was something very courageous about Jolie’s attitude toward the whole process.
This was the backstory: Jolie had a family history of…
Life lessons come from everywhere, including, it seems, elephant etiquette. When we struggle against our own compassion fatigue, it’s good to get inspired—and reminded—of why we give to others. How other is other? How separate are we?
In an amazing article about whether elephants have soul, the author described the moment of looking into…
Here’s what 100 percent means: full effort; all; maximal exertion. It means no halfway measures, no holding back, no one foot in one foot out dance.
At ATA this about sums up our ethic: Always give 100% unless you’re giving blood.
When we do something 100 percent, it looks like our 100% program. In it, we…
Every now and then we find ourselves moping about our situations, heartbreaks, misfortune, and it keeps us from producing. Take heartbreak, for instance.
When you love something you invest a great deal of your heart and soul into that person or thing and when he/she/it lets you down, you crawl and hide. For some people…
It’s never easy to decide what cause to give to. Some causes touch you personally, others just serve such an overwhelming need—such as a natural disaster—they compel you to action. But it’s a rare cause that makes it this easy for you to say “yes,” by irresistibly combining both your desire to clean out…
There’s a lot of talk about luck—the supreme coincidence of being at the right place at the right time. But at ATA, we feel luck is always biased toward good outcomes. We don’t like feeling constrained by external events. What turns us on is the state of feeling blessed: the sense that we are…
As the latest Dove “Real Beauty Sketches” campaign goes viral, it’s triggered a huge amount of backlash. Most of the feedback has been positive, as the campaign has definitely touched a nerve. The upshot of the campaign’s experiment? Women tend to judge themselves more harshly than anyone else does. They miss the beauty of…

ATA Clothing’s thoughts and well wishes are with those runners, families and spectators across the country and world who were affected…
Inspiration can be elusive. Finding it is about knowing when to hold on and when to let go, when to unplug and when to lean in. For us, it’s often hiding inside the present moment, when the clamor of monkey mind ceases. The to do list, the worry, the what ifs and should haves…
