The context you give is what many lectures halls are missing today.<br/><br/>I particularly enjoyed your focus of keeping a balance in this article. Many times people will make suggestions or give advice which is then exaggerated greatly because they don't understand the different limits involved. I look forward to more on your tips for learning. Keep up the good work. Hello, I’ve followed your blog for some time now and thoroughly enjoy how well you take the more complex psychological theories and apply them to daily circumstances.

I find it much better than digg. To bad there isn't an official SU toolbar for konqueror :(. Anyway, your article on body language was the one I like the best, maybe you can delve deeper into the subject? I like getting feedback as I talk. By the time I find out how a conversation is going, it's already too late most of the time :S @Vlad

We bloggers love hearing feedback – that’s why we have comment forms.

Very insightful. This explains why I’ve made the most progress in my life by being an appreciation seeker.
