Relax, Relate, Reflect goes next level
On my Dutch blog www.daanvanschalkwijk.nl I have been using the slogan 'Relax, Relate, Reflect' for a while now. It expresses the core of how I would like people to use my popular writings.
Now, I am taking this slogan to the next level with a monthly mailing list aimed at helping people have good conversations with friends, family, and colleagues about big questions in their lives. You can sign up here. Here's a short intro.

The fact that it rose in most-read rankings, underlines the seriousness of the issue.
