Happiness, desire and focusing on the positive

Matthieu P.J.
Personal development

Happiness is a quest in which we believe the destination matters whereas it was the journey, all along. Fulfilling our desires can be seen as a sure way to make us happy, but often we are bad at predicting what the real outcome will be. Yet, there's still hope and knowing a few things will help you on your personal quest.

The deception of the financial system

Matthieu P.J.
Personal development

What is money: an abstract concept or a tangible reality? What if the system we take for granted was in fact an organised giant fraud? Just like Science, Finance has to make some base assumptions in order to build its discipline. And just like Science, it has made some incorrect assumptions. Except that unlike Science, this has consequences on the life of everyone.

The power of making decisions

Matthieu P.J.
Personal development

We do it everyday: we choose certain things over others. Our life could be described as the succession of decisions we've ever made. Yet few people take the time to really reflect about the process of decision making. Is that not worth some investigation?

Have you ever wondered why so many people are inclined to dismiss some apparently whimsical beliefs as 'conspiracy theories'? Are you really sure that ALL what you believe in, even some of the most fundamental aspects of your understanding of this world, is true?
