We are celebrating our fourth anniversary at Mindwise, this month! A lot has changed since we launched 4 years ago, all thanks to the people who contribute to this project, through their writing, creative input, or readership. We are grateful to everyone for the success of this page and we’re celebrating the best work that was published in 2017.

Choose the best post, enter to win a book!

We have shortlisted our favourite posts from 2017 and now ask you, the readers, to decide which one wins the Award for Best Mindwise Post for 2017! Of course, we wouldn’t leave you without some prizes too: Three lucky voters will win a book, sent wherever you are in the world

So, pick your favourite article from our selection below and leave your email address if you want to win some Mindwise goodies! Voting closes on April 8th 2018 (midnight NL time).
