Is there an actual Life Management Alliance?

Not yet, per se.

Unless you look at it from a different viewpoint, that I am the one choosing to align with the best resources I find, in order to help the users of the site learn and develop the capabilities that are needed to create a great life.

To that end, here is one site I would choose to ally with, with its slogan, which I totally support:

"Farnam Street helps you make better decisions, innovate, and avoid stupidity."

Though this site is oriented toward those who might be in business and/or a profession, I think the value of it is, indeed, in teaching all persons how to learn better, how to think better, how to make better decisions, and how to manage life better.

It is, I think, about acquiring practical life wisdom.  "Practical" refers to gaining results in real life, results that actually show up in terms of one's own happiness and in one's impact on others in the world (on the world).  The ability to run one's life with the wisdom that will create the very best life is what it is about.

Even for those who aren't really interested in "going deep" into wisdom thinking, I recommend that you at least scan the email to get the idea of the post - and to possibly discover some things you might actually care to follow up on, just for personal reasons.

In most cases, I've discovered, it is virtually useless, and too random and unsystematic, to be notified by email of new information that is not specifically on what I am working/focusing on.  So I send most of them automatically (without me screening them or reading them first) to a category of emails that I can read when I am focusing on something related to the category.  However, I recommend that you get the Farnam Street Blog newsletter directly for your reading that day - as it stimulates thinking to the highest level, for anyone in any position in life.

There are a very few others that are worth receiving directly into my direct email list, but I'll cover those later.  (I have recently shed most of the 50-100 blogs/newsletters/notifications so that I don't waste an ounce of energy or mental space on them and only look at a very, very few now.  While this, of course, increases one's productivity (or decreases the causes of lack of productivity), I attacked it because of the thoughts and strategies that came up while writing The Self Control book, upcoming.)

[Of course, I recommend that you recommend this blog, or an occasional post of interest, to your associates who are progress oriented and who want to live the best life.  Some may wish also to explore the website to extract what is of value to them!
