In this week's IMM, I talk about responsibility and fault and why they are different, how social media creates echo chambers and the two systems at play in your life without knowing about them.

In this week's IMM, I talk about what happens if all you do is talk about your dreams, how you can change the meaning of problems and why procrastination might not be what you think it is.
In this week's IMM, I talk about running an annual review, setting new year's resolutions and what it means to earn Manpoints.

In this week's IMM, I talk about who may be best suited to teach you, how perseverance is a greater predictor of success than intensity, and how Adler thought about our past experiences.
In this week's IMM I talk about how your worst experience is your worst experience, what consequences we face when we do nothing, and how we differ from deers.
In this week's IMM I talk about why you should have the end goal in mind, why starting is better than waiting until you find perfection, and how the people you surround yourself with affects your life.
In this week's IMM I talk about how slowing down can help us to feel, why you should be embarrassed of who you were a year ago, and what mountaineering can teach us about life.
In this week's IMM I talk about things that make us human, how it is easier to achieve material desires than ignore them, and how you don't need to try and be anyone else.
In this week's In My Mind (IMM) I explore how you can turn envy from a sin to a learning opportunity, why you should celebrate the process because let's face it no one else will for you, and how we feel about the way we feel.
Unteachable lessons are things you have to experience to believe, you can't be told based on someone else's experience.
Health
I have never been a massive fan of running. But this year something changed. With less than 90 minutes before the start time I registered with Park Run, grabbed my trainers and headed out. It's fair to say that experience was humbling.
Blogging
