Our purpose? We are living on a beautiful planet among billions of stars. This makes us often philosophize about the purpose of life. Are we here solely to be? Or are we here with a greater purpose? Maybe, there is no grand purpose. Our purpose is to be a human. Being a human on planet […]
One thing which is serving me every day in my life is my internal “bullshit-detector”. It’s a fifth sense with which I immediately sense whether a person is full of shit or whether a person is authentic and honorable.

There are dozens – if not hundreds – of sleep schedules online. Ranging from monophasic, biphasic to polyphasic sleep.

Only five days until Christmas – unbelievably how fast the time goes. We booked a flight to Germany on the 22nd. If everything goes well, we’ll […]
On the weekend, I finished a 7-day water fast. It was a necessary reset. Not only for my body. But also for me as an individual. It felt like a “goodbye” to my old me, and a “welcome” to my new best version of myself. Over the last three months, I was on the road […]
