Speedlinking: 26th March 2013

By Gaël Blanchemain .

Hi everyone!

That’s it, “Growing The Roots Of Happiness” is now a one-year-old-baby.

I’d like to thank all of you for regularly stopping by and leaving comments.

Writing a blog made me spend lots of time on the web, much more than a reasonable user. Since I dug in a lot of content, I’d like to share with you the best of what I saw:

Growing:

My last week’s discovery is David Cain’s Raptitude, beautifully written posts his inner life and how to grow as a human being.

Contemplating:

GIFs images are often barely funny, unlike Marinus’ beautiful and hypnotic animated pictures: http://headlikeanorange.tumblr.com/

Not a movie, not a music record or a book, yet “The Art Of Pho” is a bit all of that, and it’s really sweet: http://artofpho.submarinechannel.com/

Redditing:

Did you know about reddit?

Think of it as an open Facebook where everyone shares info on specific topics. It’s still a free area and censorship is nearly absent there.

Try to benefit from this portal before it turns spammy by checking the Subreddit lists (Subreddit=list of links by topic):

The (almost) complete list of Subreddits: http://subreddits.org/search.html

To help you find your way in Reddit, most of the below are Subreddit links:

Learning:

brain_150

Charts don’t necessarily tell the truth, but they sometimes reveal the talent of their creators, you might want to visit the Subreddit dedicated to them: http://www.reddit.com/r/dataisbeautiful

There’s a new blog about science, it took on the challenge of answering scientific questions in a very simple way, it busts myths like: ” do we use only 10% of our brain?”. The articles are clear, interesting and you definitely feel less dumb when you’ve spent a little time on: http://whotaughtyouscience.com/

Minimalism:

Here are two links as a follow up for my post on urban monks :

If you’d like to get some inspiration on Minimalism, check: http://www.reddit.com/r/minimalism 

Any wish to drastically reduce your daily expenses? Try: http://www.reddit.com/r/Frugal – some tips are frighteningly cheap :)

 

Personal development

There’s an abundance of self improvement material on Reddit, here’s a few related Subreddits:

  • Zen Habits: personal development with a touch of meditation http://www.reddit.com/r/ZenHabits
  • Self Improvement: traditional content at http://www.reddit.com/r/selfimprovement
  • Self Help: more personal improvement posts http://www.reddit.com/r/selfhelp/

 

Last but not least, if you’re tired of Facebook, try the totally alternative social *DIASPORA, not many people there, but a few enthusiastic users (friend me there :)

Any other link you’d like to share?  Feel free to add them in the comment section below :)

    Didnt know about Raptitude! Thanks :) Its now on my feed :)

    • Gaël Blanchemain

      @Nicolas: Hope you like it, the guy writes really well. His posts are brainy, somewhat long but at least he doesn’t brag about phony accomplishments (big change for a self-help writer!)

      • Nicolas

        Happy Birthday by the way !!!!
        And what did you mean by phony accomplishments??

        • Gaël Blanchemain

          @Nicolas
          Thanks!

          By phony accomplishments, I mean people claiming a flawless life that they don’t necessarily have. Typical bogus talk among self-help gurus is: “5 years ago my life was a mess, but now I’m rich, constantly happy and so successful it’s a joke!”.

    This is a public service Gael! Nice work. I enjoyed looking at Reddit. And happy birthday. I just hit 6 months myself. How is the Blogoshpere treating you – seems like your on top of things. I enjoy your posts keep up the good work. :)

    • Gaël Blanchemain

      @Sam: Thanks for your good wishes. The blogosphere is treating me kindly and is paying interest to what I do, I truly wish the same for your blog :)

  • Sharkwave93

    Thank you so much for linking to my site :) I was bit stunned when I saw it :P

    • Gaël Blanchemain

      @Sharkwave: My pleasure, I truly think “who taught you science” is a great idea that deserves wider audience.

  • David Ashton

    Happy Blog Birthday Gaël! I wish you many more. It’s been a pleasure getting to know you on your blog – doubly so because the stuff you post is not only uplifting but also useful!

    • Gaël Blanchemain

      @David, Thanks David, I wish the same for your blog, more wise voices like yours should be heard.
