I have never really considered Philosophy as something useful during my whole life. Philosophy was our target of jokes at the Math Department (together with Psychology). During high school, we studied Literature and History, and the thoughts and ideas that marked historical periods, but we never really dove into, even basic, philosophical matters. Even when … Read more
It seems like in April I’m going backwards a little bit. I don’t feel very motivated, due to the weird times we are living. I’m still doing good: waking up every single day at 6 and having my morning routine of exercising, meditating, and studying, but I recognize I’m living waiting for this times to … Read more
I’ve never really liked the idea of wearing a Smartwatch or an activity tracker on my wrist. I think I stopped wearing watches in middle school: after all, who needs it when we all have a smartphone in our pockets? I’m trying to approach Minimalism, and the last thing that I want is to spend … Read more

Have you ever checked how much time you are spending daily on your smartphone? How many times are you unlocking your phone screen? How long are you scrolling down the Facebook or Instagram feed for a wonderful recipe for unhappiness? We all know (hopefully) that we spend too much time on our phones, but let’s … Read more
When I was a young boy I always listened to my parents, my relatives, and my teachers. I think that was a good behaviour, dictated by my insecurities (bad) and my awareness of not knowing much (good). I still think that kids and impulsive people should really understand how to stop acting on their own … Read more
This January has been the start of a year from which we expect a lot, after a weird 2020. Well, maybe not “a lot”… just to get back to our normal lives. Things are not getting better right now, but I wanna start to write down my suggestions for books, movies, lessons, activities and whatever … Read more
There’s always something about ourselves that we don’t really enjoy. It could be our shyness, our reactions to certain situations, or a bad habit.
