I am going to do this and get a few people to participate to see the results. I am going to get a range of people to compare results.
I have been very inspired with the talk by Jason Evans himself, as he is very down to earth and you can tell he lives by his experiences. I really like the way he is upfront about his depression, and the ways he attempts things. His talk has been very helpful and I will explore some of the ways he gave examples of.
