In case you were wondering whether the Titan Experiment project died off, you are right. Kind off. Not completely. I still do experiments, from Tools of Titans book, from other recommendations by guests on Tim Ferriss Show, and many others. The truth is that 2 of my largest experiments of this year took so much … Continue reading

Floatation tank as legal psychedelic? Dr. Dan Engle is described as “Board Certified in Psychiatry and Neurology, with a clinical practice that combines functional medicine, integrative psychiatry, neurocognitive restoration and peak performance methods”.

Max Richter’s “From Sleep” – better than your mom’s lullaby
My closest family was visiting for 2 weeks of February and I wanted to focus my full attention to being with them and making sure we all enjoy ourselves, so I didn’t have time or space to do any sophisticated experiments. During that time I slept (on a borrowed airbed) in the living room where … Continue reading
Going first – for better or meh
If you like to be alone from time to time, know that you are not alone. This experiment was about “practicing going first” – smiling first, greeting first, communicating first. It should be great, right? Well no. My feelings are mixed at best. It turns out it’s not an easy thing to do in Singapore, … Continue reading
Gabby Reece: Practice “going first”
“If you run into an asshole in the morning, you ran into an asshole. If you run into assholes all day, you’re the asshole. (from TV series Justified)” I’ve already tested the advice by Gabby Reece in my previous post – she recommended that we should look at “sacrifice” in a more personalized way to … Continue reading
When the little thing could be the big thing
Last week’s experiment was about keeping in mind that “Weight of the sacrifice is based on the individual.” It’s definitely advice from “Hell yeah!” category, even though it triggered cognitive dissonance (because it reminded me too much of labor theory of value – see below). Summary: I learned two things from this experiment: I see … Continue reading
Gabby Reece on “sacrifice”
This week’s experiment is based on recommendation of Gabby Reece. As with most of the women in Tools of Titans, I didn’t know her before, but she’s really inspiring – smart, kind and beautiful. The piece I like the most was: Weight of the sacrifice* is based on the individual. *I don’t like the word … Continue reading
Best and most helpful experiments in 2017
Even though I acknowledge that “end of year” is just an arbitrary date, I take January as a good time to look back and ponder over what activities/relationships/methods had the best return on investment and I should invest even more this year, and what are those that I should cut back. January seems to have … Continue reading
What can you learn from your future self?
Shay Carl recommends that we should ask ourselves the question “What would I probably tell myself as 10 year older version of myself?”. Of course you can’t, you know what would 10-year-older version of yourself would tell you. Because you can’t really see into the future. So what is the point of that question? What you get … Continue reading
