Quantity has a quality of its own - Evolution We have been conditioned by our upbringing, education and culture that quality is more important than quantity. And indeed it usually is. It's better to eat a great pizza every week than a bad pizza every day. It's better to have one good romantic partner than seven bad ones. Everything related to healt...

Invention, it must be humbly admitted, does not consist in creating out of void, but out of chaos. Mary Shelley (this article is written from the standpoint of a single person. In this context chaos means unpredictability in your personal life, not world anarchy). In life you have billions of potential axes of improvement. You can imp...
You’d be amazed at what you can accomplish when you give yourself no choice – Alex Hormozi This post’s title was supposed to be “Change the environment to change myself“. Because you should always try to change it for the better. It’s the most elegant path to progress. But while writing it I honestly asked myself wha...
No. If you have to ask such a question, the answer is no. 6 hours is not enough, if you have to ask it. (192,000 people a year google “is 6 hours of sleep enough” , just in the US) 7 hours is not enough, if you have to ask the question. (144,000 people a year google “is 7 hours of sleep enough”, just in the US) At 5 hours or...
truggling in your relationship with yourself? Learn practical techniques to silence your inner critic and embrace a mindset of unconditional self-love.
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...
“Can you teach courage?” “No. You can’t teach it. You can only show people how good it feels to be free.” – Natan Sharansky 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 y...
Today we will talk about Multi-Level Marketing or MLM. You probably know about it from a hyped friend or relative who is trying to make some income on the side by selling products of the MLM company they represent. And while most sellers are decent, some people from MLM companies can be quite aggressive and inappropriate in their sales tactics. Her...
How often do you have time thoughts? “If only I had more time in the day…” “Once *this specific shit* is over, I’ll have more time for what I want to do…” “I’m not exercising because I don’t have the time…” Some people seem to get more done in a day than others in a week. How c...
Deal with the world as it is, not how you’d like it to be. – Jack Welch What is Social Justice? The Social Justice movement is a massive one. Its idealistic goals are a fair and equal treatment of all people, regardless of class, race, gender and sexual orientation. Historically this was not the case. Poor, non-white, female and LGBTQ peopl...
A lot of people don’t go to Harvard because they are know they are smart. They go there because they are afraid they are stupid. Dr. Martha Beck When we talked about the inadequacy of schools, we started with this golden quote: Education either functions as an instrument to bring about conformity or freedom. Let’s give our children freedo...
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...
You were probably taught from a young age you need discipline to achieve success in life. Discipline is following specific rules, set by your past self or others. I don’t usually begin with a story, but here I will. Because we need to go as far away as possible in space and in time to really understand discipline. We need an example far detac...
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....
Inertia and Feeling Stuck in Life
Kalin Karakehayov, , bad habits, change, feeling stuck, inertia, 0The most constant force in our lives is Inertia. We delay change, avoid conflict and stick to what works, even if it doesn't work well. It's so familiar, it’s even called “The comfort zone”. Even if Inertia is an evolutionary relic, it doesn't feel that way. Only a more compelling force can help us out of Inertia - Love and Chaos.
Life – A Game of Expectations vs Reality
Kalin Karakehayov, , bad habits, consumerism, escapism, resources, success, 0Every time we encounter an obstacle we can ask: is this a Game of Self challenge or a Game of Life one? Is the problem in my head or based in reality? And if the answer is “it’s both”, then we must dive deeper until every part of it takes only Game of Self or Game of Life skills to fix.
Fear… is a clever, treacherous adversary, how well I know. It has no decency, respects no law or convention, shows no mercy. It goes for your weakest spot, which it finds with unnerving ease. It begins in your mind, always… so you must fight hard to express it. You must fight hard to shine the light of words upon it. Because if you don&...
