How My Work Will Benefit You
Most of the concepts I write about aren’t my own. They are ideas I discover and build upon after many hours of reading and research.
I look for insights from all fields: architecture, biology, economics, history, mathematics, physics, philosophy, and more. I consider it my job to find the best ideas and explain them in a way that is actionable and easy-to-understand.
I don’t claim to have all the answers and I still have a lot to learn, but I’m happy to share what I’ve discovered so far. My work isn’t the only way to think about life, but it’s how I think about it. Hopefully, you’ll find it useful as well. You can start by reading my articles or check out my books.
