Newsletter sent on 23 April 2016

My Zen Path

Dear reader,

This short note is about the newsletter sent earlier today. The newsletter was sent with the old text in the mailer that did not match the articles/stories. The newsletter is automated to be delivered on the last Saturday of the month and I write new text in it before it is sent. Instead of 30th April it was sent today morning by the third-party newsletter program. I am sorry about it, I had not anticipated it. The third-party newsletter program seems to be delivering on the 4th Saturday of the month.

I am including 3 recent posts in this newsletter for everyone: What Drives Us? Understanding Motivation, In search of meaning, Be happy, work better!.

I have been occupied with few other commitment recently so I could not write as much as I would have liked. I am hoping to make up for it in the next few weeks.

The next newsletter would be sent on the 28th Of May, 2016. Do write back with your comments, feedback about the site and newsletter.

Thank you!
