I’m back…
July 11, 2006
I forgot to mention here that I was going to spend 10 days at a silent retreat. Well, I just got back and have lots of new ideas for ways to take mutual-improvement to the next level. Stay tuned.

About this site
This site is an attempt to double down on the idea that several different fields can all be tied together into a whole that ultimately leads to improved lives for everyone. A few of these fields include: self-help, psychology, game theory, neurobiology, social networking, goal-making, and the internet.
I'm writing this as an amateur, and will rely heavily on sources outside of myself (both on and off the internet) to supply content and ideas for the tips I include here. I'm just the glue.

Care to give more details about this retreat?

It was a 10-day Vipassana course. The main draw of it is that it’s conducted in silence (no talking, writing, gesturing, or any other form of communication), and involves 10 hours of meditation per day. I will be posting more about it at some point, but for now that website should give you more information about it if you’re interested in learning about it.

Thanks, I suspected it was a Vipassana retreat — I just got back from one myself. I look forward to reading your comments on it.
