A very thought provoking article. Being an old sailor, I am reading the article for the second time! Guess that's what I need to understand real journalism. Once again, thank-you.

I had to read it twice too. I skimmed it the first time, decided it had potential, and came back later to read it again, this time with intention.

Being an objective realist and an engineer/scientist I was wondering, “How can I apply this? What is the daily application?” Still, I found myself agreeing.

Tim - I can tell you are writing for both male and female readers. But this phrase is 100 percent female: "More seriously, whenever you spend money on something, you know in the back of your head that you could spend it on a hundred different things." No, not me. I do not think of what else I can spend on. I want that, period. Perhaps I'm too much of a normie.

Too funny! And yes, since females are responsible for something like 99.7% of book sales, it behooves an aspiring author to know the only audience that matters.
