This blog was inspired by a comment left by a Scott Adams fan on one of his videos. He takes the micro lessons shared by Scott Adams that stands out to him, and writes in a notebook. The idea is that he would then share this notebook with his son when he was older.
I thought this was such a meaningful – and valuable – gift. And it gave me the idea to do something similar. Not only with the lessons from Scott Adams, but from a wide array of intelligent and successful people.
Learning from thought leaders, thought provokers, experts, and philosophers has improved my life – and I want to share these lessons with you.
I extract the key info from interviews, books, and videos that I find insightful and practical to implement.
Lastly, Tim Ferris & Derek Sivers inspired me to write again, to improve on and most importantly to put it out there.
Hi, I’m Raphael. I’m on a journey to live better through simple – but powerful – changes. I write about an eclectic range of topics, drawing wisdom from modern thought leaders and ancient philosophers.
I used to think that there was one big secret to success that I was missing – always searching for. What I discovered was success is the combination of many smaller things that come together in a unique and powerful way.
I wanted a name that would link with the feeling of the jolt that you experience when you realise a completely novel take on something which you had taken for granted. The same jolt you get when enjoying a piece of sushi topped with wasabi.
