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.

Easy Wisdom
Why Modern Insight Feels Deep But Avoids Judgment     This essay examines how contemporary culture confuses the appearance of wisdom with the practice of judgment. A short video from philosopher Slavoj Žižek video - in which four contradictory statements all sound equally profound - became the spark for a reflection on how easily insight turns into a stylistic effect rather than a form of unde...
Purpose, Meaning, and the Cult of "Why".
  We’ve been told that if we just “find our why” everything else will fall into place. But clarity isn’t the same as truth, and a slogan can’t carry the weight of a human life. 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. Mean...
