Why a simpler life?

​

Today's life is very complicated and can become quickly overwhelming. The expectations of society and yourself towards you seem to be ever increasing. If you are not a rocket scientist, earn six figures, have a beach body and retire at 40, then you did not make it in life.

​

In addition there are new scientific discoveries at every corner, top 3-10 things to do lists that we need to follow to be as successful as Elon Musk or any of the other outstanding personalities you should be emulating.

 

Finally, we have to save the planet, have a fulfilling life, take care of the kids, have a career, and stay in touch with friends and family. Easy... or not?

​

Sometimes we forget about ourselves and what really is good for us, plus and 80/20 solution is often good enough.

 

We do not have to be 100% perfect. Think of it, to pass as an expert in an area it is enough to know 5% more than the average. That puts you in the top ten percentile of experts in most fields.

What really matters

​

So, let's focus on what really matters and not what everybody else wants to make us believe matters.

​

We think this is pretty straight forward. People want to be happy.

 

Think of it, why do you want money, why do you want a beach body. It is because you think it will make you happier. Not saying it really will.

​

This is why the next section is dedicated to the science behind happiness and what really makes people - including you - happy.

 

And the most important factor for happiness are relationships, relationships, relationships - but quality ones not just 1000 friends on Facebook.

​

Of course we all have also other aspirations like trying to live healthy, having a career, starting your own company and many others. These are all valid goals to pursue and you should continue working on them. 

​

Today's issue is that if you look-up your goal on the internet and how to best to achieve it, then you are bombarded with thousands if not millions of potential solutions.

 

As an example look up how to lose weights, and you will get millions of fitness programs to help you get there.

 

But that is actually a scam because the only real way to lose weight is to eat healthy and manage your calorie intake.

 

To avoid getting lost trying to achieve your goals we are aiming to provide you with a solid starting point. For this purpose we are collating some of the best guidelines and latest scientific findings.

 

We are not trying to cover a field conclusively. We rather aim to give you a good first guidance of things to consider and to keep in mind.

 

We cannot replace an expert to help you get jump started in an area. But we can make sure you look for the right expert or the right guidance. 

​

Take the weight loss example. You can then focus on nutrition experts or fitness experts with a strong nutrition focus. And among those you will focus on the ones with the right focus on balancing calories, macro nutrients and healthy eating.

​

But keep in mind that knowing the path is not enough. The execution depends on you and your team.
