Oh yes, I missed one link-with-name to Less Wrong; my apologies. I didn’t claim that InIn is mentioned in the text so I’m not sure what you’re suggesting is “off” there—but if you open up the page, the first three bits of non-advertisement text you see are from the video at the start, and they are (1) “Intentional Insights: Are you In?”, (2) “www.intentionalinsights.org″, and (3) “3 Steps to Living Intentionally”—that last being a phrase I have never heard anywhere other than in InIn promotional material. So it’s not like InIn is starving for mentions in the text.
For the avoidance of doubt, I am not saying there’s anything wrong with promoting your organization. That’s what startup founders do, and there are good reasons why. I just think there’s something ever so slightly misleading about describing something as an article “promoting X, Y, and Z”, when actually the main thing it’s promoting is something else.
Ah, I see that the concern was with the title. I was excited to be able to get links to these included in the Lifehack article, as previously editors had cut out such links. I pushed back against them this time, and made a case for including them as a way of growing mentally stronger, and thus was able to get them in. So perhaps a longer explanation regarding that would have helped. I’ll edit the post to reflect that.
