When interviewed in 📝Tribe of Mentors, 📝Tim Urban shared his strategies for 🏷️#saying_no and mentioned his use of📝The Deathbed Test. Quickly searching for it online to add it to my 📝Mythos One library for reference in later conversation, I discovered he wasn't the originator.
Pete Michaud—Managing Director at the Center for Applied Rationality—popularized the concept on his blog and seemed like an interesting dude so I opted to reach out with this:
Hey Pete,
Came across your Deathbed Test and wanted to share my gratitude for you packaging a powerful utility so elegantly. I particularly appreciated your use of 📝Creative Nonfiction to anchor the vivid notion of a deathbed in my mind and those of other readers.
In my work, I come across a lot of people who find themselves in a state of paralysis at one of life's crossroads. I've summarized your concept and look forward to sharing with those individuals the next time they arrive at my digital door.

The email offers genuine gratitude, but opens the door into a number of Mythos One resources at the same time; allowing his curiosity to get the best of him... hopefully.
