I'm going to Fusion for the first time in a few weeks. Fusion is a personal development/goal-setting retreat which a couple of friends put on one weekend every year

Fascinating and very valuable. It's super cool to know about people's personal goals. How open are you to receiving help? Since many of your goals relate to social integration and reading books is lonely, maybe you could combine these two?
Global warming is something I'd love to know all the facts on and be able to formulate a reasonable opinion on. If you'd like to do a mini book club + discussion on this theme, that would be cool. Stephen Schneider's, "Science is a Contact Sport" is the first one that comes to mind. My political opinions and debating skills are also an area I'd like to work on.
If anything is a takeaway from your Fusion Profile though, it was this line:
My job is to make sure that our crazy 100-year vision translates into concrete tasks that our team can do today...
Reading "100-year vision" gave me the chills. I'm not sure what to make of that just yet. Maybe I want one of those.
Quite open to receiving help! I would like to make my reading more social, but am not sure how, as it seems hard to line up exact topics of interest and reading timelines... but definitely open to trying.
The Schneider book sounds interesting, though I'm so busy at the moment I'm hesitant to add another book in parallel to the ones I'm already reading. Perhaps later in the year... right now I'm reading I'm reading a book on the history of economic philosphy and another one on the recent/current financial crisis.
I do love having a 100+ year vision to work on. That's my kinda scale. :-)
Awesome, thanks for sharing. I find it fascinating that in your profile you lean heavily on the pragmatic/rational side of things, even though (and this even shows through in your writing) you have an over-the-top and thoroughly compelling grasp of the psychological/emotional side of things. It's true that your social mechanisms for connecting with other creatures aren't developed to the point that you can tap this as well as you want, but you nonetheless have a solid ability/willingness to explore your own emotional state and provide empathy to others, which is more than most of us can boast.

In any case, personal goal junkies unite!

I guess I am focusing mostly on the rational/intellectual sphere right now, in terms of development...
