It would be good for people to post favourite books read, articles read, productivity hacks etc. A resource we can all utilise and add to.

Maybe for individuals to post scenarios for advice, sort of like a Dear Abby, or like the New York Times the Ethicist column... so sort of an ongoing column of back and forth, with encouragement to the question asker to write out a paragraph or two describing themselves and their situation.

So, not completely sure what to suggest as a topic. But first, I am Jay Casey, from Alabama. I'm maybe a little older than most people here, I'm 52, I believe learning is essential to growth. I also, somehow see myself as someone much younger than my age. My thought process in life centers around Don Miguel Ruiz "the 4:agreements. And I would love to see content on those 4 agreements, as well Alex, hearing your perspective on this topic would be interesting. You are always spot on in my opinion and your life suggestions are intelligent and helpful. Maybe you do not agree with the Toltec religion or even "the 4 agreements." Either way having your perspective would certainly be awesome.

Hey all. I’m Stan. Retired at 54. This is year six. Love to read and travel for exploring with my wife now that I can. Volunteer to assist homeless Veterans placing them in our tiny village as they get back on their feet. Also working on the Houseless Task Force for the Kansas City Metro area. Dad of two grown boys. I’m here to continue to expand my horizon. I’m forcing myself to journal and meditate but am finding it increasingly easier as I stick with it. I’ve learned more in the last few years from all the books in devouring than the last decade of my life. Can’t wait to learn from this creative and diverse group. Excited to be a part of this tribe.

You know me well, Alex, and that means if you throw a ball right over the plate, I have to swing at it.

What would be creative and valuable and cool would be for you to serve as a connector of stories generated by the people who you already know. That's all of your subscribers and others who have purchased stuff you produce. Instead of this being all about you, I would love for you to turn the camera around and tell me about the people who are hooked on Untethered Mind.

Awesome. Personally I find text more approachable as I can view it in any setting and think about it at my own pace, multitasking and in the company of others. Audio/video is harder for me, but that's just me, others might find the audio/video more personal, I don't know.

Hi all I live in Ballarat Victoria Australia I'm a telephone crisis support counsellor working predominantly with males going through hardship (grief, isolation, disenfranchised, broken marriages, disconnected from children, existential crisis, despair etc) I am stuck writing a novel which has blown out to about 600 000 words so is now more like a few novels! I think it has become an go to avoidance tactic and I want to get it under control. I am a hoarder of "things to do" - especially study courses - I have a hard drive full of good intentions :) want less intent and more (productive) action.

I'd like to use the thread to focus on discussion how an Untethered Mind post impacted us and changed our day our week our lives - maybe one dot point that punched us in the guts and said "holy fuck I needed to hear that" and then more importantly WHAT WE DID ABOUT IT.

Hi Alex,

Thanks for your insightful blog! (Is it still called a blog?)

My own business involves teaching poetry, both to groups (at writer.org) and to individuals (see https://www.writer.org/connect/consultants/). This probably seems very specialized, but most of what I teach about poetry can also help in writing prose that people use every day.

How best to keep in touch with former students and remind them I’m here to help?

Thanks,

Claudia Gary

I see posts coming up on Medium which I do not subscribe to

Where are these posts encapsulated elsewhere? Are they all on your blog on the website? Where do I find for instance "You are not a perfectionist - you're using that as an excuse"
