Dealing with external validation, bringing yourself to seek internal motivation (based on a comment from Google Adsense, on another thread: I blame this on the too much fucking validation i had. Studies show that the more validated you get the less intrinsic motivation you have (over-justification effect or whatever it is called). I don't know why i get that validation as i'm not even that good and even if i was it's no motive for fanboyism or so... but well, it makes me less motivated. )

Hello Mark,

I do not know if this deserves an article on its own but I'd like to read something how to practically integrate honesty in one's daily life, something more practical, how to deal with dilemmas in terms of having a bad conscience:

i.e Sometimes I believe my honesty hurts people and I still struggle with to what extend you can verbalize honesty.

In addition, I have trouble to distinguish whether I am not honest to myself and just afraid of doing sth. (i.e approach anxiety) or whether I should be honest about the fact that I am afraid and the see the fear as a legit indicator that my thoughts/ideas/intentions might be flawed and thus look for alternatives instead of doing it. (does that make sense?)

Anyway, I really love your articles, best wishes,

Vlad

I feel there should be an article with a honest, comprehensive guide on how to build emotional connections with women, or people in general.

I read in Models that it's about knowing your emotional motivators, and sharing first, allowing her to share her emotions, and then you relating on it. But I guess an article getting really in-depth about it would be awesome.

Like I recently had a preconception that it is pretty much about just getting her to reveal her deepest darkest secrets, but that in itself doesn't make an EMOTIONAL connection. I learned that in the IAMA thing. I also learned from it that these connections are not something that should be forced, it should happen smoothly and naturally like flowing water.

An article discussing this topic deeply including what it's NOT would be helpful.

Hey Mark.

Why did you remove the "print/download this article" button from your blog posts? It was very useful.

It will be coming back. Still working on the details of the site.

An article that is an addition to your guide to wealth. I read it today for another time and what I noticed was that you explained your definition of wealth as maximizing life experiences very well, but I miss a "how-to" for that.

You know...How to maximize your life experiences with minimal costs and the best organisation of your life, if you're not a full-time, location-independant entrepeneur.
I've got an idea how I can travel for low costs and where to get event groupons, which reduce costs for concerts, restaurants or stuff like skydives, but I'm sure there is more that you can contribute.

Minimalism and Productivity are great concepts to start with, but there is so much more potential for articles dealing with lifestyle in general and how to maximize ones life experience.

2) Process, process, process.

Self improvement for women. With book recommendations. Your thoughts in general on this.

I think re-publishing an article on vulnerability would be a god thing, with added notes and such like to clarify and explain common misconceptions relating to the concept.
