Directory of the Collaboration

This article is the directory to a series of articles written from the perspective of two very different minds.

My name is Chris Compton. I am a 59-year-old American living in Atlanta, GA. I am writing about the 20 self-improvement facts in this article:

The article’s author, Kingsley Asuamah, is a 36-year-old Nigerian living in Ireland. He is writing about the same topics.

You can follow along and see how two strangers, separated by age, geography, and circumstance, view the world and the opportunity to develop as human beings.

I will add the articles to this list as they are published. Thanks for reading!
