Most costly decisions begin with
an inaccurate understanding of the situation.

resources are invested in solving the wrong problem.

  • Living your Best Life Now

    We talk about living our best life now but ignore the now, and treat it as though it is a destination waiting somewhere ahead of us… after the right opportunity arrives, after the body changes, after the money settles, after the grief softens, after we finally become some shinier version of ourselves. But life does…

  • How to Suffer Less & Live More

    Most of us want to move through life with a little more ease… yet our emotional landscape often feels crowded, tight, or noisy in ways we can’t quite name. We want relief, but we’re rarely taught how to create it. We’re encouraged to journal… but most journaling begins as a kind of free fall. A…

  • Fast is the Enemy

    Patience isn’t passive—it’s the discipline to keep moving at the right pace, even when the world demands speed. Whether you’re composing music, crafting a watch at Patek Philippe, or building a business, there is only one speed that preserves excellence. Fast is the enemy. Patek Philippe has built its name on what cannot be rushed:…

  • How do you apply what you know in service of work that brings you joy?

    Early programming has us all running a race which, when you are able to cover enough runway and look behind you, you wonder if any of it made sense? I remember telling my goddaughter that she shouldn’t stress out too much when picking O’Level subjects. Now the stress of choosing starts as early as S.E.A!…

  • I will not die an unlived life…

    The title of this post is the first line of a beautiful poem by Dawn Markova. I saw it in an Oprah Magazine and I typed and printed it out as a reminder that every day that I am gifted – must be lived. Yet for years I tried to live a carefully scripted life.…

  • Reconnecting with yourself…Truly Connecting with others…

    Detachment is the easy way out to not FEELING anything. You look on, don’t get involved, and the moment passes without you in it. Play it safe. Stay on the sidelines. Feel no pain. Feel nothing really. But then… The emptiness is more than you can bear because life is about connection. Connecting to yourself…
