Decision-making led by convenience and instant gratification forms a ‘wiring’ that affects our thinking on multiple facets of our daily existence, including health, wealth, and knowledge.

Freedom is subjective and hard to define. But we have to start somewhere. I’ve looked at three aspects that would directionally get me to my own definition of freedom.
Reading The Dawn of Everything made me realise that we might have traded individual freedom for what we call civil society. And this version of civil society, from all that I see around me, is going rogue.
My ‘wiring’ has an impact on my work too. The mindset I bring to my profession has an origin story and patterns that have been created over time. Understanding that is a good way to start any rewiring.
Stoicism, and the reading I do, has made me focus more on the self. No, not being selfish, but trying to get a. better sense of why I am the way I am. A book I read recently – Behave – gave me a good starting point.
