Personality Tests, Alternative Relationships, Good News Stories, Lambda School & Hip Hop Vocabularies

Happy Wednesday !

I hope you're having a great week! Here are some things I've been checking out and working on the last week:

Blog Post I Wrote: The Complete Guide to Personality Tests

Succeeding in life often comes from understanding your strengths and weaknesses. In this post, I explore the various personality tests I've explored and used to better understand myself and my thinking.

Book Notes I Added:

The Truth by Neil Strauss - A book about exploring alternative relationship styles and his own psychology in the search for the perfect relationship and love. Very entertaining and easy to read.

A Place of My Own by Michael Pollan - This book reminded me what great writing looks like. Pollan's tale of designing and building his writing cabin. I've been thinking about a similar project for some time and identified heavily with the story.

Articles I'm Reading:

The Three Kinds of People Who Live in the United States - The Atlantic - this article from 2013 is related to my post, and classifies people in the US based on empirical personality data.

99 Good News Stories You Probably Didn't Hear About in 2018 - I generally avoid the news, partially because it tends to be negative. Here are some positive stories from 2018!

No Tuition, but You Pay a Percentage of Your Income (if You Find a Job) - NY Times - Lambda School, whose founder I interviewed on the Starting Stories podcast, just raised $30M for expansion. Big things coming from them.

The Largest Vocabulary in Hip Hop - A fun look at the rappers with the highest vocabularies.

Song I'm Listening To: Better Now - BECCA

My friend Becca just released another single - she sounds like Alicia Keys, right?

Have a great week!
