Last week I wrote a newsletter that generated $2500.

This week I reposted all my old newsletters on my new website.

It was fun to see how my writing has improved over 18 months.

But there were some real bangers that went out earlier in my journey, which most of you weren’t around for.

So here’s my “best of”, formatted in the cleanest reading experience I’ve ever designed.

Enjoy. And as always, if you have thoughts or questions I’d love to hear about them in a DM on X or Instagram.
​

​1. How to Maintain Healthy Social Boundaries (The Power of Saying No)​

The crazy thing is that as I learned to say “no”, people started testing my boundaries less.

It’s almost like we evolved as social creatures who communicate on subtle levels without the need for explicit statements. (If we were having this conversation face to face you’d know I was using that lowest form of humour: sarcasm.)

This post will teach you how to value your time, take it back, establish healthy boundaries and finally say “no” whenever the hell you want to.

​2. How To Attract Your Perfect Life-Partner (Avoid the #1 Killer of Attraction)​

This post gives you 3 important steps to making it happen:

1. Get Clear On Who Your Perfect Partner Is
2. Activate The Online Dating Cheat Code
3. Nail Your First Date

With a lot about the essential piece of becoming the person who’s worthy of your perfect partner thrown in amongst all that.

​3. 3 Steps to Realize Ultimate Wellbeing (The Simplest Way to Ditch Your Emotional Baggage)​

My first coaching client came to me after reading. He’d been suffering with chronic Obsessive Compulsive Disorder for 7 freaking YEARS.

He’d reduced his symptoms by 50% with a behavioural psychologist, who told him the next step was mindfulness. So he’d been on the lookout for someone like me.

At the time he DM’d me on X, I was promoting my first cohort course. I offered him a place, but he said “Dan, I’m founding a startup and I don’t have time for the group thing. If you’ll coach me 1-to-1 I’ll pay you whatever you want.”

This single client replaced my entire monthly income as a music teacher.

The article contains my overarching philosophy of modern spiritual awakening:

• The problems it solves
• The obstacles on the path
• The most direct way to “get there”

And then the important piece of how to re-engage with the world following awakening and make your great contribution to humanity.

​4. 10 Mindfulness Success Stories (For The Doubters & Procrastinators)​

I was just on a call last night with a student who’s deep into his process of awakening. For much of the call we just laughed together. It really is indescribably beautiful to watch someone come to understand their true nature and how free they are in this realization.

Now, I know this can sound like crazy talk to you if you’ve not explored this territory before. So it’s important to hear about different people’s journeys to get a sense of what it’s all about—and what a genuine spiritual practice can do for you.

This article includes stories about some of my earliest students, and videos from some of my more recent ones.

​5. How I Meditated My Way to Freetirement at 36 (Retirement Is For Losers)​

In it, I illustrate how outdated the model of traditional retirement is. And also how inappropriate it is to stick to dogmatic ideas that spirituality and money should be kept separate.

It’s 2024, not 500 B.C. Technology is enabling us to serve one another like never before, and money is a vital tool in this arrangement.

Genuine spirituality aligns us with the natural forces, wisdom, virtues and values that fuel our missions out on the digital frontier, and this is exciting sh!t.

We really are witnessing a renaissance of wisdom and value exchange. And these go together like bread and butter.

​6. How to Delete The 6 Mind Viruses That Keep You Poor, Sick & Miserable (In Just 12 Weeks)​

Later, once I stopped taking the contents of my mind so seriously, I was able to identify 6 harmful mental/emotional patterns that society had “installed” in me:

• Obligation
• Validation-seeking
• Perfectionism
• “FOMO” (fear of missing out)
• Pleasure-seeking
• Procrastination

Quite a cocktail.

With mindfulness, I learned to dissolve these patterns. Then, finally, that wrongness that I’d felt my whole life evaporated.

In this post I outline a thorough 12-week process for attacking these mind viruses and finding your own freedom.

​7. How to “Freetire” Yourself (Without Leaving Your Sofa)​

I’ve heard from dozens of creators who’ve used the 240 baby steps I outline here to kick-start their own digital careers.

This is the proven playbook for defining your purpose, generating endless content ideas, growing your audience, then monetizing your knowledge.

My two most recent newsletters are my best work, but you likely received those recently, so I’m leaving them off this list.

If you missed them though, you can read them here and here.​

I freaking love writing these posts to you.

The ideas inside changed my life so profoundly that there’s really no other game for me to play.

I’ll be doing this till I die.

I hope you’ll stick around on my journey to normalizing wellbeing for 1 billion and 1 people.

Win/win for the win,
