It doesn’t necessarily matter what my favorite posts for the year are. I’m more curious what has resonated with you.
So without being able to ask each and every one of you, I’ve compiled your top 10 posts from this year as determined by the good-old analytics on my site. And as before, I used the time period of December 2013 to November 2014.
I noticed that there was a fair overlap between this list and my own original list. I guess that’s a good sign!
Your list

4. You must fight the Tired—Because nothing will ever change if you don’t.
3. What I (re)learned from flying Business Class internationally—Some perspective gained from living the good life for a short period of time.
