Columbus, OH

I think you need to talk to daenerys, IIRC, she runs the Ohio stuff.

if reading scientifically minded self-help books isn't the solution, then what could possibly be?

Actually doing, for one, though it sounds like you're doing that too.

that doesn't apply to my life

yet. Some day you will want to take over the world, and then you will need to talk to big winners.

I ended up not really getting that much done, unfortunately. However, I managed to put in a median of... probably about five hours every day

I've had this problem, too (I've got so much free time, why is it all getting pissed away?). Have you tried beeminder? I cannot overstate how much that site is just conscientiousness in a can, so to speak.

So far I've read

Thanks for the list. A variety of evidence is making me want to check out the self-help community more closely.
