Chad, I just want to say you have been played a very influential in my development lately. I first found this blog when looking up intermittent fasting and have not regretted it.
Over the last two years a series of sad events, both in the family and on the personal level, triggered a severe depression in me which until very recently debilitated me socially, mentally, physically and academically. This summer things started to get better as I stopped trying to fight it and decided to embrace it and manage it. I’ve been seeing a councelor and making small changes in my life to fix my outlook. It’s helped me become a bit more productive and socially active but some days, things just feel forced. I saw you share this yesterday (I usually open your “from the archives” posts even if I’ve seen them before as the content is top notch) and I went through the steps. Today has been radically different and my disposition is a lot more relaxed and optimistic. Some of my friends were suspicious that I was under the influence of something, that’s how different I am apparently!
The two points I’m getting to are
1. Thank you, and
2. Keep writing, and keep sharing your old articles
Both for the same reason: I don’t think you will ever fully understand how powerful writing (yours included) can be and how deeply words can touch the people who need to hear them. And in continuing to write this blog, I hope you will always try to grasp that conclusion.

In reply to Chad Howse. Fair enough and I respect that (even if I don't like the taste). But I was referring to that picture of your with the big cigar, Schwarzenegger-style. That's obviously for aesthetics, and not for taste. And personally I find that aesthetic douchey but that's just my opinion, right? :D Anyway, I don't want to fight about details. Overall I like the approach of this site. Good work!

In reply to Jerome. Its not the aesthetic that makes them wonderful, it's the taste.

I really like a lot of the stuff on this website. But those big cigars look kinda douchey, sorry.

I have been reading your articles for some time now and though I don’t agree with all of your views (it would be quite strange otherwise) I enjoy most of them. This one however, is quite possibly the best one I’ve read. I think it sums up your whole philosophy and what you’re trying to convey through this site. Well done, mate.
