The Origin Story
Remember the age-old adage from our school days? "Excel academically, and a successful life will follow." Like many, I believed this formula – that good grades lead to prestigious opportunities and happiness.
​
But as we know, life's pathways are rarely so linear. Despite academic success, I struggled socially in school and professionally in my early career. As a top-performing student and salesperson, I excelled individually but often conflicted with others. My intense focus on efficiency clashed with considering human factors, leading to frustration on all sides.
​
Realizing this approach limited my potential, I sought change but lacked direction. I turned to fields like psychology, philosophy and history for answers, and found valuable perspective. However, it was neuroscience that unlocked deeper insights for me. Understanding behaviors through a biological lens allowed me to view humanity in a more empathetic, objective way.
​
This understanding transformed slowly, not overnight. But it opened doors to meaningful relationships at work and in life. I learned to see our shared human strengths and limitations, as well as each person's capacity to grow.
​
This blog shares learnings from my journey—how science illuminates daily experiences, cultivates empathy, and celebrates our adaptability. Through reflections and relevant research, I aim to offer perspectives on understanding ourselves and others. Whether pursuing personal or professional growth, you'll find insights on nuanced topics like developing resilience, overcoming biases, and nurturing compassion.
