I am not a calm person. I keep going back anyway.
I’m Marc R Catsky. I write true stories about everyday frustration, losing my temper, dropping good habits and picking them up again, and about the practical Stoicism that helps me go back.

Self-reflection
The Forge Score
The Forge Score is a set of 30 statements about how you handle pressure, effort and yourself. It is designed as a short self-reflection that sits alongside the books. You will not need the book to use it, and you will not need to give anyone your email address.

Pilot in preparation.
The Forge Score is not yet available to the public. This page will say so when that changes. It is a self-reflection tool, not a diagnosis or a personality test.
