I’m the wrong person to write this. I’ve spent years moving. The Netherlands, Aruba, Ibiza – and my present work takes me through cities I stay in for a few weeks and then leave. I’ve made a life out of not being anywhere for very long, and I’d choose it again tomorrow. Which doesn’t stop […]
On 3 July I fly to Athens. I’ll be there for three weeks, taking a proper look at what a good life looks like there – told by the people living it. I’m starting here for two reasons. Because Athens is where the good life first got its name. Eudaimonia – Aristotle’s word for a […]
A week ago I wrote about where AI is taking the economy. Short version: it will run it, better than we ever did. The AI agents will buy the shoes, match supply to demand, take over the small daily decisions – and remove the moment where we used to stop and think “do I actually […]
I spent an afternoon talking with my AI system about where AI is taking us. Starting the conversation about the customer journey: decisions, purchases, supply chains. The whole picture. The basics of our economy. That sounds like a strange loop – asking the machine about the machine. It was. But it’s also the most honest […]
Why public life is still asking bigger questions than the content world answers. When I scroll through LinkedIn and other media channels, I often see the same pattern coming back again and again. People are promoting products, beliefs, methods, personal brands, lifestyle choices, growth hacks, and very often themselves. Sometimes they are positioning. Sometimes they […]
Quality of life is how well daily life actually works – across health, work, housing, relationships, meaning, and freedom. Here is a clear, practical definition and why it matters more than ever.
It’s a Quality of Life problem. When people say they want more quality time, it sounds simple. More evenings without distraction.More weekends that actually feel like weekends.More space for what really matters. The reflex is almost always the same: we open the calendar. Too much work. Too many meetings. Too many commitments. A quantitative diagnosis […]
Longevity has quietly migrated from the medical lab into the lifestyle brand. Across the globe, the conversation around health has shifted; it is no longer about the absence of disease, but the presence of data. We track sleep cycles, curate supplement stacks, and obsess over recovery protocols. What used to be a matter of medical […]
In most conversations I have – about life, work, the direction things are heading – people rarely ask “Does this feel right?” They ask “Is there evidence?” Research, numbers, case studies, stories of others who tried and succeeded. Proof feels safer than truth. More defensible. More shareable. But proof and truth are not the same […]
Everywhere I go, I hear the same quiet confession: “I’m tired of this system. It doesn’t work for me anymore” + It comes from entrepreneurs who, despite their success, admit they feel empty inside. + From citizens who can no longer afford housing in the places they grew up. + From leaders who whisper, behind […]
