About

Hey, glad you showed up! 

Around here, we discuss spiritual topics, book summaries, and other related content.

In many ways, I intend to offer you some distinctions that can at least create some awareness around these three domains:

1. What we know, we know: Which is very small. 

2. What we know, we don’t know: This is where most traditional learning and development happens. (e.g., school, organization assemblies, our environments, etc.) 

3. What we don’t know, we don’t know: This is where we follow our curiosities, exploring ideas that can wake us up to things, we didn’t even know we didn’t know.

You don’t know what you don’t know. You realize there are all these things out there. — Elon Musk

In 2019, I’d written a summary of The Traveler’s Gift by Andy Andrews.

It was the book that opened up my eyes, gave me hope to dream again.

I got so excited that week, that it propelled me to share these insights with other like-minded folks out there, and quickly realized how other readers seemed to enjoy it.

And so, I proceed with other great books I could get my hands on, from spirituality to other cognitive enhancement topics. 

Fundamentally, the purpose was to explore unmapped territories, making new connections, to self-serve and my audience.

As happiness expert, Gretchen Rubin puts it, “When we give more to ourselves, we can ask more from ourselves.”

After years of challenges and crisis, addiction and depression, I was led to believe that cultivating a foundational routine can alter my life for the better, so I begin with the following:

1. Being mindful of the foods I eat.
2. Practiced yoga and weight training— 4 to 6 days a week. 
3. Reading thought-provoking books. 
4. Practiced sitting meditation.
5. Getting quality sleep. Going to bed at the same time, every night. And
6. Decluttering, following a minimalist lifestyle.

And sure enough, things started looking up.

I felt more calm.

Optimistic.

And had a sense of clarity I’d never felt before.

I realize I love learning things that can brighten someone else’s day and make their life easier.

My journey had led me to this fascinating realm of the human mind, which has fueled my curiosity, and love for the understanding of what makes us tick.

Join me as I explore the intersection of psychology, everyday life, and personal growth.
