If an unexamined life isn’t worth living…
then what does it mean to live A Life Examined?
This newsletter seeks to answer that question through acute introspection from an obsessively contemplative author looking to find meaning. A Life Examined explores the depths of human experience through the lens of personal stories and meaningful ideas in the pursuit of self-realization and finding answers to the existential questions that guide our lives.
It’s like touching grass for your mind
What to expect
Every few weeks I’ll be writing a short post (~5min read) on an array of topics. These topics aren’t just temporary interests of mine or topics du jour but rather ideas that I’ve found to be so compelling I simply can’t go on without exploring further. They are the ones that ignite such an insatiable curiosity in me such that the pursuit of examining them further becomes inextricably linked to living a better, more fulfilled life.
I’ve spent the last few years writing privately about these and have found tremendous joy, clarity and alignment as a result. My goal is to share these thoughts with the world as many of these experiences are universal and the frameworks that have enriched my own life can do so for others.
I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I have writing it and if so, subscribe to always stay up on the latest. If you have any friends, family, or co-workers that are keen to examine life too, please share it with them as well!
