For a long time, I have been drifting. Well, drifting, as in the same way it is defined: ‘carried slowly by a current,’ in life.
I’ve tried my hand at several things in the last decade… helping & disappointing my family, making many & alienating some of my friends, falling in & out of love, exploring the evolution of art, technology & businesses, going to a B-school, following several sports & dropping all of them, graduating from working at startups to starting one, working out infrequently, badly investing the money I could barely save & finding the love of my life.
I did or stumbled upon most of them by accident. Started something because my flatmate was dong it, or someone smart had tweeted about it, or had talked about it at a party. Most of them dropped at the next turn, when something new came along.
Maybe that’s how my 20’s had to go? If that was it, shouldn’t I be satisfied when I look back at all of it?
I have been yearning for the satisficing way to make my life satisfactory and in this search, I’ve found some of the greatest original thinkers, knowledge gatherers & storytellers. Several of them already successful by the traditional methods of measurement.
This is my attempt to assimilate & present their key ideas, so that you & I may both stand on the shoulder of these giants to look far ahead.
Although there are several pressing questions in this vast universe, I shall limit my search to the 3 themes that are my priority:
Getting wealthy
Becoming & staying healthy
Figuring the cheat-codes to an easy life
Strap on to discover with me every Sunday, starting today.
Cheers,
Kalaikovan
