I'm David, and Raptitude is a blog about getting better at being human -- things we can do to improve our lives today.

This audio series precipitated a dramatic breakthrough in my life in late 2018 (which I will write about on Raptitude once I get my head around it). Brene Brown researches shame and vulnerability, and… Wow, I did not know I needed to hear what she had to say, but I did. I now feel free in ways I never knew were possible for me.  [Reviews]

The first habit book that actually changed how I did things. And those changes went well beyond habits. I didn’t realize it before, but books about habits tend to make me feel like crap because there’s always such a gulf between where I am with my day-to-day habits and where David Allen or Tony Robbins is. This book met me where I am, and actually improved my self-esteem with respect to getting things done, unlike, say, Getting Things Done. [Reviews]
