Edit: I hope you had the chance to see the reason. I'm deleting the explanation to keep cyberstalkers away.
While im curious about your story im even more curious about why and how it could somehow be abused by cyberstalkers?

I recommend reading what Mark Twain’s experiences with Christian Science was. (Which was that everything is imaginary?) http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/3187
Well, I think his book very clearly spells out the other problems with those kinds of organisations. :-) Definitely not my thing, but I have a more nuanced view of things these days.
I am thankful that I can walk. I walk slowly and with a limp, but I walk a moderate amount of distance without pain to walk errands.
It is a leg injury that left me in constant pain and even in more pain on weight bearing. It took two surgeries to get me back on feet and I lost two years to the suffering.
I just got my second promotion at a FAANG in three years. I have great work life balance. I can afford to buy food and more. I invest and max out my 401k and my older sibling is now in her final year of her residency and my younger sibling is almost done with bachelors. My spouse loves me. I was very sick this thanksgiving and it was nice to be taken care of. I still have anxiety and confidence issues, and I’m terribly afraid of risk... but it’s gotten substantially better than a few years ago.
Thanks for all the hard fought PRs, features, and optimizations that make our lives as developers what they are today.
- My wife, for placing the faith in my gut instinct and guiding it with her solid planning skills
- Common Lisp
- HN
The above 4 have all combined forces in ways that I cannot appreciate enough but I know have been crucial in giving me a happy and peaceful work and personal life.
I with my wife are doing our bit to give back whatever good we have received. Thank you.
- I found my wife and she agreed to spend the rest of her life with me. - I was lucky to born into a loving family in a relatively stable part of the world - that I earn money (decent money) doing something I enjoy
I'm thankful for getting cured of my chronic back pain of 10+ years just because of one HN comment (1). I was at a point in my life where my whole life used to revolve around my pain but thanks to this one comment I was cured of this terrible misery in just less than a month. So thank you HN and thank you @ceras for making my life so much better. P.S I'm happy to say that propogating that knowledge had that exact sam…
I have to say, every time I come across this book, it seems like bullshit not backed by any science at all and yet it gets rave reviews on HN. As a one-time thing, I can put it off towards some propaganda campaign ala Tim Ferris / The four hour body but this is a pattern. Don't know what to make of it really.
