Powell's is stocking an actual physical hardback copy of The Quantified Self at the flagship store on Burnside. Somebody go buy it! (I'd don my old white "Powell's Loves Reedies" t-shirt to celebrate if it hadn't been reduced to tattered shreds over the years.)

The Quantified Self: Learning to Observe from @agaricus arrived!
The @quantifiedself Bay Area meetups were hugely influential for me. Looking forward to digging into these stories …and revisiting my own 2015 QS talk along the way.

18 years ago Gary Wolf @agaricus and I launched the Quantified Self (QS) movement, which is still going. Gary finally wrote a book detailing what we have learned so far, and on Thursday, October 8, 5:30 PM at the Book Passage in the Ferry Building San Francisco, he and I will introduce his book and do a classic QS show and tell session.

The outcomes episode
thequantifiedself.substack.com/p/the-outcomes…
I’ve read most of the papers I could find comparing self-tracking to normal care. The verdict is: Maybe?
We know that thinking is generally a good approach to problem-solving. And empirical observation is an important tool for such scant evidence it works in healthcare at the individual level?

In the spring of 2000, I got an assignment to go talk with Christopher Alexander at his rented house on Shasta Street in Berkeley, about a half hour walk from campus. The exterior was pink and dusty, the interior a desperate mess, and I felt an immediate sympathy for this stout talked with me in an oversize blue shirt hanging loose and bare feet... Perhaps “talked with me,” is too gentle. He felt I needed firm correction. He’d read something I’d written about Rem Koolhaas and called it immoral. I didn’t like that. I said I’d neither excused nor glamorized. He made a sound of pain. He compared Koolhaas to Adolf Eichmann and asked: “Can one write objectively about such a person?” He had serious doubts about me, and before we agreed to talk more he wanted to understand where I was really coming from. That made sense. But in the next hours, he elicited very little information because he spoke without interruption. More here: thequantifiedself.substack.com/p/a-pattern-la…
