It’s a question that is fairly often asked hypothetically, but what would it be like to live with the knowledge that you are probably within the last 60 days of your life?
Stop Reading And Start Thinking. The Problem With Self Help.
I guess I live in the self-help genre. I don’t like a lot of what I see there though. There’s a lot of nonsense and hot air. There’s seems to be a lot of falseness. My main beef with it though is that people buy into it from emotional insecurity and become more insecure the […]
What Are You Great At?
