Article Excerpt:
I'm looking for people to comment on the first draft of my book "Think, Try, Learn: A scientific method for discovering happiness". It's 20 pages on treating everything in life as an experiment. Hopefully it will be a stimulating little read. Reply here or email matt@matthewcornell.org if you're game. The commitment is to read it within a week and share solid, constructive comments around how well I'm getting the idea across. (Side note: TTL interpretation: First, I'm following Anne Lamott's suggestion in Bird by Bird to write a "shitty first draft" [1]. While I dislike the term - it feels personally demeaning, though she pulls it off - the spirit is 100% Think, Try, Learn. Think of many different ways to present the ideas, quickly Try one of them out to collect some data on how well it works, then Learn from it and iterate. Read the draft for more! Second, you know my love for meta, so of course I'm treating the writing of the book itself as an experiment.)
