The extra mile is a lonely place, he says, because almost everybody who reaches it looks around, notices nobody else came, and turns back. That line comes out of a post collecting quotes from a famous founder, and it is sharper than most of the quotes it sits among.

The placebo effect gets a whole piece, treated as evidence that belief does measurable physical work rather than as a curiosity, with ten lessons drawn out and applied to ordinary life.

One post inverts the usual advice by listing ten reliable ways to fail, which turns out to be far easier to act on than another list of virtues.

He also writes about repeated words and thoughts as a deliberate method, and about a meditation approach he claims saves an enormous amount of time.

Thirteen posts, most of them long, several assembled from other sources with the credit attached. Read the placebo one, which is the most substantial thing anywhere in it.
