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 clichĂ©s 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.

Cognitive Biases
Working with a coaching client on cognitive biases, so I thought it would be helpful to summarize the most important ones in a short series for anyone interested in this topic.  But what is a cognitive bias? Our brain's operating system is riddled with bugs. These cognitive biases, like malware infecting our neural network, distort our perception, hijack our logic, and screw with our decisionma...
The Fallacies of Pathos
  Fallacies of Pathos are arguments that rely excessively on emotions to persuade the audience, without sufficient supporting evidence or logical reasoning. They exploit our natural emotional responses to manipulate our judgment and sway us towards a certain conclusion, even if the argument itself might be weak or flawed. One of the earliest categorizations of these fallacies is illustrated in...
