The base of a healthy diet is finding the optimal balance between the different food groups. Unfortunately there is one big group that is just plain unhealthy and bad for you but so incredibly appealing and tasty.

Apparently, an acquaintance challenged my colleague Harold Jarche’s Personal Knowledge Mastery (PKM) model. He seemed to consider the possibility that it’s a fad. Well, I do argue people should be cautious about claims. So, I’ve talked about PKM before , but I want to elaborate. Here’s my take on the case for PKM.
