Unstimulated by the current state of the education system, I decided to take education into my own hands. As a voracious reader and someone who has learned to unearth wisdom from various sources, this blog serves as an archive of all my learning. I believe that education is the greatest panacea. Traditional education doesn’t prepare its participants holistically —and perhaps it was never meant to — so it’s solely our responsibility to see that as a shortcoming and to spark a desire to pursue the kind of learning that enriches our expertise and the way we lead our lives. From how to live a meaningful life to why you should work in 90-minute bursts, this blog provides rich research and wisdom that focuses on helping you thrive and evolve.
