The Magic Behind Gut Feelings

Is there logic behind intuition? — If you’ve ever felt strongly about something that can’t be easily explained, you’ve experienced ‘gut feeling’. But what exactly is it? And why should we trust it? I don’t think it’s not an isolated feeling, like happiness or worry. It’s more like a unique blend of experience, wisdom and foresight. …

The Activation Energy of New Ideas

Understanding the unrelated catalyst that shakes things up. — Not every book I’ve read had the impact expected of it, and now, I don’t expect them to. A podcast about money may somehow convince me to exercise more. This is a strange, active process. One where an input leads directly to an unexpected and completely unrelated chain of thoughts. …

The Power of Embracing Hard Work

It Was Never Supposed to be Easy — The real work starts when things get hard. In a growing world of false gurus, it would be easy to believe that the right tool, service or advice could get you to the finish line quicker. It sounds too good to be true, because it often is. The real work…

Why Your Ideas Don’t Matter

It’s Not What You Think, It’s What You Do — I know plenty of people who genuinely believe that the right idea could make them millions. But they’ve never spoken about how they’d fulfill them. Often, their belief is that millionaires stumbled across their wealth just as naturally as they stumbled upon the idea. …

The Most Important Thing I Learned in 2022

And why I won’t make this mistake again. — Life changed a lot in 2022. I started a new company, the Hippocampus TV. I stopped uploading Youtube videos as frequently. I took a few trips abroad. I took a break from this newsletter. My brother got married and moved out. Through it all, this was the most important thing…

Why Running 5km Was The Best Thing I Did This Year

The Mental Workout I Never Knew I Needed — I’m no runner. In secondary school, I signed up to be a part of the cross-country running team. I wasn’t chosen, there was just a few of us who had signed up, so we all were accepted by default. I had no preparation, no strategy. I practically wheezed throughout the…

The Scent of Japan

How a simple smell transported me back to my time in Japan — If I had known that the smell of a moisturising cream would be my most vivid reminder of Japan, I would have developed this one trick a long time ago. In early 2019, I solo travelled to Japan for two weeks as part of my medical school ‘elective’ placement. Spoiler…

The Hidden Value of Beautiful Tools

And how they can make us more productive — If I was ever found in a library, it was most likely during my time at medical school, attempting to catch up on lectures. I’d never been a fan of studying for longer than I had to, so I naturally developed various preferences for studying and learning over the years. …

The Perfect Week

What are you working for? — Most adult lives are fashioned around the ‘working week’. But I’ve been searching for something more holistic. Whether we work five days or less, in-person or remote, flexible or fixed, the ‘working week’ dominates our routines and dictates our ‘free time’. Excluding sleep, we usually spend this free time with…

Would You Call This Place Home?

If not, why? — During my recent trip to Dubai, I was in a unique position to ask some people a very specific question. I met up with friends, both old and new, who were either working or living out there. …
