Hey, quick hack for those having forum certificate issues and looking to read this article. It won't be pretty - the formatting gets scrambled - but you'll be able to complete your "Three Flavors of Epic Wins" quest.

First, open your Google. Then type "Jane's Guide to Creating Epic Wins." Click the link that leads to the forum. Your browser will block the site, but this is where the trick comes in. Go into the address bar of your browser and delete the "s" from https://. Without the "s" your browser won't look for the certificate. Et viola, there's your article.

Unfortunately, I couldn't get this to work for forum registration, but from what I've read from the people who have gotten onto the forums there's too much spam there to navigate safely anyways.

I met SuperBetter a few days ago and I think it's awesome! Since English is only my second language I immediately thought about people who don't speak English but would appreciate the help SuperBetter can give.

For a start, I would be more than happy to translate the site into my mother language, Hungarian, absolutely free of course. (I've been studying translation at university for a year now, so I have some experience as well.)

I'm sure people with other mother languages would gladly do the same, and adding some more languages to SuperBetter would not only be beneficial to the site, but there would be a whole new range of people who could get that kind of valuable help that they can't get from somewhere else.

Also, according to Nelson Mandela: "If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his language, that goes to his heart." Let SuperBetter go to the hearts of people! :)

I am having a problem with your site. That is, after several days of a "beautiful friendship," it suddenly refuses to recognize my password. I tried several times, with the same response. So I then tried changing my password, using the one that *********** sent to my email. I tried several times with this one as well, only, again, to see that entry box "shudder" and refuse to let me go to the site.
The two days that I have spent with SuperBetter have convinced me that it is a site that will help me immeasurably with attaining my goals and overcoming the obstacles that stand in my way, which for a long time have blocked my progress.
But all that will be for naught if I am not allowed to access this fine program. Please help.

Hi Jane and Co!

I just heard about SB from your TED talk and am very interested in it. I work for the MN Brain Injury Alliance and it may be a helpful tool for people to refer people to as they are recovering from brain injury. A couple concerns:

-There are two diet / weight losing options in the powerpacks, but nothing for eating disorders. This is triggering and could even be dangerous for people who are recovering from ED.

-Along the same lines, suggesting that the "Let Hunger Be Your Guide" powerup is simple also disregards the experience of people with eating disorders, who may be re-learning *how* to notice when they are hungry or full. This knowledge doesn't come naturally to everyone.

-There is a fair amount of able-bodied bias throughout the powerups, which in turn makes our variety of bodies invisible. For example, the Bad Guy of Lazy Exercise Robber: Many people with chronic pain, with a permanent mobility impairment, or recovering from TBI can't just walk up a flight of stairs for some "easy" exercise points. Include some "lazy exercise" examples that don't require walking, like the powerup in your demo of raising your fists in the air. You can be overt about people's body's being different by saying things like, "If you use a wheelchair or have other mobility limitations, try..."

Thanks for your work on this game/tool, and looking forward to seeing it improve over time!

"It is part of our task as revolutionary people, people who want deep-rooted, radical change, to be as whole as it is possible for us to be. This can only be done if we face the reality of what oppression really means in our lives, not as abstract systems subject to analysis, but as an avalanche of traumas leaving a wake of devastation in the lives of real people who nevertheless remain human, unquenchable, complex and full of possibility."
