What is Self-worth and how to improve it? We already mentioned Self-love, the all-important concept of not being mean to yourself. It’s connected to everything in The Game of Self because observations show it affects everything: If you lack self-love, everything in your life suffers a bit. If you completely lack it, that’s emergency lev...

We think in language. The quality of our thoughts and ideas can only be as good as the quality of our language. George Carlin If you have read other I Grow Younger posts before, you have noticed we differ from other self-help content. Less storytelling, more ideas and concepts. But also the way we present. There is something different in our langua...

“Mathematics is the language through which God has written the universe” “The purpose of mathematics is not to make simple things complicated, but to make complicated things simple”   Alexander Grothendieck, “the Einstein of mathematics” But what did this undisputed genius really do to make things simple? Wh...

Freedom is not the easiest concept to grasp. From the very important things in life, it’s the most invisible one. Here’s why: If you have freedom and always had it, you can’t imagine your life without it, it becomes invisible, a given… But if you don’t have freedom and never had it, how do you know what you’re mi...

Trish Millines Dziko Schools are more or less mandatory, not because of the less than ideal structure most of them currently maintain and not because ...

Human biology has barely evolved in the last 15,000 years. But our world didn’t stay the same. Science and technology gave us the understanding and tools to change everything around us (for better and worse). We often hear how language (and specifically written language) was the major driving force of progress. But there is one more concept w...

Education either functions as an instrument to bring about conformity or freedom. Let’s give our children freedom. Trish Millines Dziko I strongly believe the education system is a relic, it has to be destroyed and completely rebuilt. We’ll focus on schools here but universities are often not much better. Much of the same applies there....

In I Grow Younger we value Love and Freedom above all else. And while we do believe in ethics, morality will never be the foundation on which we build our concepts. It just seems… too man-made, not fundamental enough. This might be confusing, especially for religious people or ones brought up by parents, who value morality above all. We’...
