I’ve done a lot of weird stuff over last few weeks as part of my Titan Experiment journey. I was hashtagging my emotions to learn how to manage them. I learned how to be happier in 10 seconds. I experienced what it would feel like if I would suddenly earn fraction of what I earn … Continue reading
Easy choices – hard life. Hard choices – easy life. (Jerzy Gregorek) My experiment for this week is based on Tim’s new TED talk, released just a few days ago. It is very personal (suicide is as personal topic as it gets), but at the same time very actionable. He talks about why we should … Continue reading
So I decided to be poor for a week. This experiment was guided by a quote from Tools of Titans: “Suffer a little regularly and you often cease to suffer”. I was testing whether microdosing of our fears will make them less scary. It is a very simple experiment, but I learned a lot more … Continue reading
What a nice coincidence (or “synchronicity” as Robert A. Wilson would say) – just as I’m doing my Stoic week experiment with microdosing of one of my fears, TED published Tim’s talk about fear setting!

You ostentatiously walk around and make sure they notice. Your colleague forgot to tell you that agenda changed and you are not prepared … Continue reading
I feel like a genius. Well, a bit. Last week I managed to “read” 3 and a half books from my long reading queue. I’m done with How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie, Lying by Sam Harris, Zero to One by Peter Thiel, and I’m half way through The Cosmic Trigger … Continue reading
I love reading since my childhood. We had decent amount of books even during the commie times, yet there were books that I read more than 10-15 times. I would usually read a few books simultaneously – which is probably one of the reasons Kindle is still my favorite gadgets (contested only by Oura ring – … Continue reading
In week 6 I set out to find out whether I am entrepreneur material, pushing myself behind the comfort zone by asking people for discount. I knew this would be tough for me because of my upbringing – I very rarely ask people for any kind of help. My whole life my parents subtly emphasized … Continue reading
