Are you limited to 10 items per poll?

[Tim]

Yeah 10 per poll Nick. I think 20 should be enough to choose from. I realise I've left a couple of really good ones out but... this isn't a democracy so fuck it.

I voted for "You are your own worst enemy", but "Power in Vulnerability" is a very very very close 2nd.

[Tim]

Yeah 'You are your own worst enemy' contains a lot of the stuff that I chose 'You Are Not A Victim' for. Way too hard a decision really.

[Guyintheback]

It is.
I enjoy most the posts about topics like work on yourself, be honest about yourself and to yourself, go for what you want, face your fears, how to be an integrated man; because those are the issues I have and I need help on and motivation for.

You should consider making a 2nd round of polling with the top 5 from each poll. For science.

What's my favorite article from Mark?

I'll respond as Cicero did when asked which of Demosthenes' orations was his favorite: "The longest one."

But best in terms of what? Several of the articles are beautifully written, even if at times the advice doesn't resonate with me. Others are great syntheses of research. Still others are meaningful to me because their message is an important one to me.

For example, my favorite article is "Diversify Your Identity". It's plain and fairly simple, but it's exactly what I needed to know to start making changes in my life and become a happier person.

[Mark]

For what it's worth, my favorite article isn't in either of these polls.

In my opinion, "A Dust Over India" is the best thing I've written. But it's not my favorite.

Because you have not published it yet?

[Mark]

Nah, it's just an older one. Has more personal significance to me. It's written well.
