Pleasure Revolution
I haven't made New Year's resolutions this time, and yet I feel like I'm on track to accomplish more this year than I have before. Maybe that's the secret?

Yet, after years of searching, I'm pretty sure this is the best way for me. To keep motivated, to make change, and even to help the world. What is it? To seek more pleasure. So this year, I'm setting out to experience more of it. Both by choosing what to do - and how to do it.
