weekly Go Flip Yourself

In my past experiences publishing, I sought public success assuming it would lead to feelings of private satisfaction. It’s only now, observing this expectation clearly for the first time, that I can see how misguided this was.

In this experiment I took the agency and time to define success. It wasn't an open-ended search for approval. The goal was to express an idea, its full context, and for them to be seen and understood. That has happened, adding up to maybe the most enjoyable publishing experience of my writing life to date. Those 250 collectors satisfied my entire Maslow’s hierarchy of writerly needs with their support.

• relationship between money and happiness

• how to manage money with your kids

• giving money to either taxes, kids or charities

• tha avalanche story: most important decisions of our lives are tiny, little, snap ones

• deep down: desire and need to impress other people

• respect for my body, respect for my relationships, respect for my family -- i don't wanna be fat, i wanna stay married, i wanna be there for my kids
