All my posts in one place.

Medium’s structure—the design of the homepage, the pages of publications, the pages of individual writers—is geared towards finding the latest, most popular posts. This can make it hard to find truly high-quality, timeless content. That’s what I like to read and write, though, so I often scroll through writers’ past posts, digging for gold. It’s why I started publishing the Medium Psychology Highlights, trying to give a voice and recognition to good writers that have not been too lucky with the algorithm, and helping those who care about good, well-researched content find something awesome to read. And it’s why I’m crating this Archive.

If you’re here, I assume you like what I write, at least a little (yay!), and wish you had a neat place to access all of my posts without having to scroll through my claps and responses. Well, now you do. Welcome to the Archive. Below are two lists, which I vow to keep updating: first all of my posts (mostly about psychology, but you knew that); then all of the Highlights issues. Enjoy!

^¹Most of my posts are, experimentally, members-only. However, Medium allows free users to read more than their three monthly members-only articles by using “friend links”. If there is a post of mine you’d like to read but can’t don’t hesitante to Tweet at me and I’ll happily send you a friend link to satisfy your curiosity.²
