So like many people I’d heard of “James Dean,” iconic American beauty star who died young. (It’s almost impossible not to in the US — pictures of him and Marilyn Monroe inundate every cheap tourist trap) And yet up until my birthday a few weeks back I hadn’t seen any of his films. But there […]

I saw a girl carrying a bag with this description on my way to the cafe this morning. You see a lot of such things in NYC. “No judgment” “Accept everyone” “Hate has no home here” Dangerous things to write, if you ask me. Not because I support “hate” or being mean to people (whatever).

Recently I had the distinct displeasure of reading a piece in Harper’s Bazaar on why men have no friends. I suppose I should be happy about the article.

The following is about some interesting concepts I got from my business coach the other week. (who I believe appropriated it from a book, dunno the title) Anyway, it’s been on my mind… and after I mentioned this on Twitter a few days ago, a couple of you were curious for elaboration. So here goes:

So yesterday I put out a very important tweet that got very little engagement: “Deservedness > Discipline” I think it got like 3 likes or something — pretty shit for an almost 11K account. Honestly though I wasn’t all that surprised. It was a very unclear tweet (partially by design)… and everyone knows el mano-sphere

When you start on the self-improvement journey, it’s usually a very small, specific issue that catches your attention. For me, and so many of you, this is usually something simple and

Well here were are, back to blogging after a 9 month hiatus. It feels good to be back. But the break was sorely needed. The “red pill wars,” as history will call them, drained me of long form content. I needed a place to play around with ideas, reduce the pressure… and the daily email
