I picked up a copy at the Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi lecture at the Exploratorium last week - what an awesome magazine! Full of interesting articles, creative and thoughtful but firmly rooted in real-world experiences. It looks great, too. Excellent work!
Wow! That issue is chock full of greater goodness. Thanks for making it available online.
I've been pondering a blog essay about the ways we think about power and influence. The Power Paradox article says a lot of things I had in mind. I find it helpful to think in terms of influence rather than power, so I tried reading the article while mentally replacing "power" with "influence". I thought it still read pretty well, which I find intriguing.
Great stuff. Thanks again, and cheers.
