What I read in 2023
Last year, I shared with you my progress on reading books since 2018 and how I tried to “make myself read more” by joining Goodreads yearly reading challenge. 2023 was a blast 🎉. Physical Books vs Audiobooks During 2023 instead of reading physical books, I tried listening to audiobooks. It worked great for me. I […]
( * for me at least😁) If you are like me, every now and then – during your Sunday morning coffee – you read a nice article online. It is so nice that you want to get more articles your way in fear (FOMO) that you might not remember to revisit the blog that hosts […]

The lost art of smiling
Imagine you are on a crisis. Customers are unhappy, people are yelling, things are not well, time is not enough, money are lost, it is a bad day. The worst thing one can do is lose it. Stop thinking and start demanding, criticizing, trying to find the fault, blame someone (else) for the situation. I […]

The view from above
The Stoics have been using the “view from above” exercise to force their mind to observe a situation from such a distance to make it feel insignificant. The usual metaphor is to imagine ourselves experiencing the planet earth from the eyes of an astronaut. This way “earthly” problems looks pretty small. Today, there was tons […]
