Hi, Matthew Wagner here.  I wanted to remind you that in addition to my blog, I also offer a free newsletter.

What’s it about?

Well, the premise of the newsletter is that you, or anyone for that matter, can become truly empowered.  That is, you can be a happy, creative, and informed individual, and accomplish great feats.

To be clear though: I’m not talking about the self-absorbed, feel-good psychology that is so prevalent in the modern self-help era.

Admittedly, the fundamentals of self-improvement can be helpful, but they are not enough, and the self-help, feel-good, pop psychology era is often so self-focused, it doesn’t translate into reality.

For example, some self-help approaches seem to suggest that you can simply think-away your problems, or simply ignore the atrocities in the world and they will go away.

While I think that anyone can lead a great life and be truly empowered, such a feat is not accomplished by ignoring reality.

Rather, while you have to address certain fundamental aspects of self-care and improvement – which is all discussed in this newsletter, this activity has to be balanced with a regard for the world in which you live (also discussed in this newsletter).

One has to be informed about the news and state of affairs in the world, but one has to learn how to analyze such news and information, and additionally trust his or her own common sense when formulating opinions – again, which is all possible and discussed within this newsletter.

The ambition of this newsletter is to produce reality-based-empowerment for you and the world.  Because once you become truly informed and empowered, you’ll naturally be drawn to make a meaningful contribution to others, and will have the means to do so.
