3. Three core pillars
of my work
➔ Self awareness
I talk about understanding yourself with
clarity, understanding how your own
mind works.
◆ Delving into our cognitive biases
& logical fallacies
◆ How to think about your own
thinking
◆ Unlearning the attachments to
ideas & biases - GROWING UP
101
Growth lies
on the other side of
discomfort.

4. Three core pillars
of my work
➔ Everyday life advice
How to be better at the game of Life
◆ What really is better?
◆ Letting go & unlearning the
attachment to your own ego
◆ Being better at dealing with
people, improving your people
skills
◆ Improving & expanding your
perspective about Life
The difference
between man and man

5. Three core pillars
of my work
➔ Philosophy & spirituality
Easy-to-understand & practical
answers to those deep, philosophical
questions all of us have
◆ God, Self, Ego, Consciousness &
all that other jazz
◆ Understanding over believing
All spirituality is the
discipline to eliminate the
unnecessary.

3 levels at which our biases function:

7. Our minds work under so many different
cognitive biases & logical fallacies.
Being aware of how the human mind works enables us
to be better at our people skills and
to be better at managing ourselves & others.
● Confirmation bias
● The gambler’s fallacy
● The framing effect
● The Halo effect
● … (and many more)

8. Your perspective can be
your prison or your power.
For most of us, our core ideas about Life
are underneath our conscious attention.
Like the blind men in the old parable of
“The elephant & 6 blind men”.

9. Taking active steps to bring
our unconscious biases into
our conscious attention,
correcting what’s wrong in
our own thinking
and then acting along what’s
right,
is a path every adult must
walk at some point in their
life.
