I went for another run outside today, before going to the gym. I’ve made it a habit to warm up with an easy run in nature, then hit the gym to work on muscle groups. It’s a combination I recommend, but that’s not what I want to talk about today. I ask myself: why are […]
Hi, I recently read a very well-written and substantive book, Breakfast with Seneca, by David Fideler, an author I have long appreciated. A book that every one of us should read, a stoic guide to the art of living. Seneca’s teachings, like those of many Roman Stoic philosophers, although formulated more than 2,000 years ago, […]
Hi, In the previous article, we explored the concept of Logos, which signifies the Principle, the source and structure of cosmic order, applicable to everything around us. We discussed the importance of proportions in music and how they are fundamental to musical structure and harmony. Thus, we continue to explore the effects of music on […]
Inspired by an absolutely fantastic and profound book, I wrote in one of my books, The Secret Code to Success – The JeDI Code, about a very powerful “Aha” moment in my life. It is David Fideler’s book, Jesus Christ – Sun of God. It is not a religious book, as one might suspect from […]
Hi, The other day I was listening to a podcast with Dr. Dămășaru, in which he talked about the importance of having a clear goal so that our brain provides us with the energy to reach it. I really liked the metaphor he used from the famous story “Alice in Wonderland”, the moment when Alice […]
Hi, In my last book, The Imp and the Angel – the two personal counselors that guide our lives, I tackled the idea of too much free time. Whenever I ask an audience, whether online or face-to-face, whether there is such a thing as too much free time, the immediate response is: “No, there is […]
Hi, I went out for a walk with my mom the other day, and when we met, I had a feeling that I get a lot of times, especially in spring. I took a deep breath in and said to her “smells green“. She smiled and confessed that she was thinking the exact same thing. […]
Hi, In an interview a few years ago, I was asked whether, after fifteen years spent in China, Denmark and the Philippines, I still consider Romania “home”. My answer was categorical: “Yes! Of course!” This reaction came from the bottom of my heart, no doubt about it. However, the question itself got me thinking: where […]
Hi, I was watching a podcast with Dr. Dragos Cîrneci, a neuroscience expert, who claimed that most of what we know to be true about the brain is actually false. Of course, he comes with many pertinent arguments and gives examples of relevant experiments. One of the things that caught my attention is about our […]
Hi, I was talking in a strategy session for my coaching program about a parallel between a physical wound and an emotional, soul wound and I thought I’d share some thoughts with you. I hope you find them interesting. In the complex fabric of human existence, wounds come in many forms. Some are visible, dug […]
