• Steve Pavlina’s 11 Ways to Gain Clarity is chock-full of timeless, solid advice. He says, “I’m sure you’ve read that clarity and focus are important qualities for success. Decide what you want, and then pursue it with passion and energy. But what if you’re feeling uncertain and don’t have a lot of clarity about your future direction? What if you can’t decide what you’d like to do next? This is a common problem, especially for today’s 20-somethings who are growing up in a world of unprecedented change. Fortunately there are many actions you can take and mental adjustments you can make that will help you shift from uncertainty to certainty.”

This is the first time I’ve ever clicked every link from a blog link list. Thanks so much!
Haha, I’ve been sending that picture around my friends!
Excellent links as always! Have a fantastic Christmas, Nubby!
(Btw, My mum bought me a Michael Jackson calendar, every year she buys something that shocks me with awesomeness, and that was it this year!)
Maybe I just know a lot of extraordinarily fast readers, but doesn’t an annual total of 52 books seem.. low? I was kind of amazed how little fiction he read in a year. But, if other people are encouraged to read more, more power to him.

Hi Sweets! Thanks for the amazing blog. I’ll be certainly following your aesthetic/existential insights in this coming decade.
As per the book-a-week challenge… Feasible! I have been reading a-book-every-other-day for 17 years now without letting any area of my life down (and we should be the same age). The only downside: not enough nights over wine to discuss the amazing info with!
