Peaceful living: not treating life as something to be solved

How to really live your life. — As humans, we’re always looking to move on to the next level. A better job, a new partner, a more interesting city, or a more expensive car.

Your Brain On Classical Music (Better Mental Health)

Decreased cortisol, spiked dopamine, lower blood pressure. — Currently, I’m listening to Ludovico Einaudi on repeat. It’s relaxing, calming, and inspiring. I’m relatively new to classical music — something I’ve come to as one of the many ways I manage anxiety. Turns out, my attraction to classical music (often accompanied by candles and incense) is no mistake. Classical…

AI could radically change how we view consciousness

Warnings & what it means for our understanding of ourselves. — The feeling of cold hands on winter’s morning. The pleasurable sense of relaxation when first waking. A song that’s stuck in your head. The stressful feelings that arise when running late. These are experiences we’ve all had — they’re also a sign of our consciousness. Consciousness, ultimately, is your experience…

5 powerful ways to simplify your life

More simplicity means less overwhelm. — Lao Tzu famously claimed, “[s]implicity, patience, compassion. These three are your greatest treasures.” In our modern world, though, success, speed, and industry are commonly more valued. Hustle is more highly viewed than patience. Individual success more than compassion. And multi-tasking over simplicity. No wonder anxiety and work stress are so…

The Book That Made Me Quit My Corporate Job

And it might make you quit yours too. — This is as good as it gets Not so long ago I was working a typical 9–5 job in Melbourne, Australia.
