Introducing '(almost) Everything is Context'

Mar 07, 2025

Navigating the human maze

'(almost) Everything is Context' is a new space for nuanced conversations on what truly defines a fulfilling life.

The coaching arena is often a circus of overhyped clichés and "hacks." The air is thick with booming slogans peddled by self-proclaimed gurus and filled with platitudes and borrowed wisdom. Social media scammers promise X100 and tech-bros, barely out of their twenties, dispense life lessons from their cold plunges, blissfully unaware of the self-irony.

But beneath the noise of the motivational snake oil, there's a thirst for exploring life's complexities. If you've had enough of simplistic, often flawed formulas, you understand that life's complexities demand "it depends."

Context is the bedrock of human behavior, shaping decisions, beliefs, and personality. Ignoring this contextual framework leads to incomplete understanding and ineffective solutions.

Each post will uncover a single new topic, stripping away the myths and bad science to reveal practical ways to navigate the path to a richer existence.

In my work with leaders and professionals, I see how seductive this formula can be, and how quickly it unravels. Purpose and meaning are not the same thing. Purpose points forward, giving us projects and direction. Mea...
The Absurdity of "Personal Branding"
Imagine Augustine on LinkedIn: Confessions™ - Living Authentically Since 354 AC”. Or Kierkegaard with a tagline: Committed to Existential Clarity. Even Jesus, reduced to a pitch deck: Transforming Lives, One Soul at a Time. The thought is laughable, but also revealing. The very density that gives a life its meaning - its complexity, contradictions, reversals, struggles - disappears the moment ...
NO, DON'T "LET THEM" - PART II
    This is Part II of my critique of the "Let Them Theory". You can find Part I in the previous post of this Newsletter. Today we widen the lens to interrogate the (very weak) structural foundations of the book and, more in general, expand a number of consideations to the self-help genre. We also sketch an alternative, different path, one that rejects disengagement and dares to embrace the un...
