The Problem With AI Life Coaching—and My Solution

from Mark Manson [alt+shift+b] in life

5th Dec 2025
This year has been one of the most important, yet challenging years of my life. And as we’ll see, that might not be a coincidence. As you probably know, I’ve been calling out some of the shady dealings and worst practices of the self-help industry for my entire career. Whether...

Stoicism and The Law of Attraction: The Ancient Truth About Manifestation and Magical Thinking

from Daily Stoic [alt+shift+b] in life

4th Nov 2021
“The things you think about determine the quality of your mind,” the Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius wrote. “Your soul takes on the color of your thoughts.” Does that mean Marcus Aurelius and the ancient Stoics believed in the Law of Attraction, as popularized by Rhonda Byrne? It’s...

I won’t marry Jo to Laurie to please any one

from Diaries of Note [alt+shift+b] in life

1st Nov 2023
Now considered a seminal work in both American literature and feminist canon, Little Women was originally published in the 1860s as two separate volumes, the first of which Louisa May Alcott completed in two months after being asked by her publisher to “write a girl’s book.” The...

The World Is Your Toilet

from Adrian Hanft, III: RSS Feed [alt+shift+b] in life

10th Mar 2018
Today I am going to share some design advice that you aren’t going to get anywhere else. They don’t teach you this at the university. You won’t find articles about it in the glossy magazines. The design blogs won’t touch the subject. Research would inevitably show that there...

How to Trigger Flow States with Coffee

from Adrian Hanft, III: RSS Feed [alt+shift+b] in life

5th Aug 2017
Most of us use coffee to get through the day. It's a routine that we probably don't think much about. Wake up, pour a cup and go. When the buzz wears off it is time for another cup. But what if we used coffee more intentionally? Could we develop a system where coffee becomes your...

How to Tell if Your Job is Real

from Adrian Hanft, III: RSS Feed [alt+shift+b] in life

2nd Dec 2018
After quitting his job, a friend made an odd comment. He said, "It’s weird when you realize that none of it is real." His observation stuck me as both profoundly true and maddeningly confusing.

Precognition

from Jason Crawford [alt+shift+b] in life

13th Jun 2021
It’s almost impossible to predict the future. But it’s also unnecessary, because most people are living in the past. All you have to do is see the present before everyone else does. To be less pithy, but more clear: Most people are slow to notice and accept change. If you can...

When Google killed Google Reader, the bloggosphere took a severe hit and the content quality went down because there weren't enough readers to justify the effort it takes to maintain a high quality blog.

What's left is a decaying wasteland of blogs, most abandoned, a lot are now SEO spam, and 99% are not worth reading. BoredReading is a way to read the remaining great blogs that survived the ice age.

To add your favorite blog, please suggest it here! I get emails every day which helps me maintain a high quality selection of blogs!
