This was more motivating than any self help book I’ve read recently!

What a delightfully unconventional love letter, as well as good food for thought.

Wow i legit teared up a lil bit after reading it, what a beautiful post. She sounds incredible. If you write more about her I'll certainly pay attention to it, and if she writes about herself too, but she seems busy with plenty of other stuff LOL

Certainly food for thought as Perry said, I found myself thinking "damn, if only I was like that too". Feeling optimistic about change though, don't want to bring the vibe down in a post building someone up!

this is such a sweet write-up, and so timely with the 14th coming up. cate reminds me of high-functioning ADHDers - from the "i'm interested, so i'm trying it Right Now" right through to the drug addiction (which we're very prone to developing, and i of course speak from experience).

OK this is awesome, I'm glad people like this exist in the world and I'm really happy for you guys.

But one thing doesn't make sense. If she's as smart, frank and honest as you describe there's just no way she's "genuinely not proud, and genuinely doesn’t think she’s better than anyone else".

I'm sorry but a person as you described should definitely be proud and if she thinks she's not better than the average person then she's simply lying to herself.

The only way I can resolve this contradiction is if she knows how great she is, but chalks it up to "luck" in the form of the genetic, societal lottery.

I read this post and looked at her twitter profile but I still don't know who Cate Hall is or why Tyler Cowen linked to this post.

This is truly awesome. Reminds me lock-step of Riva Tez's Everything is a scam (esp the meaningwave song version)!
