I enjoy thinking about thinking and exploring thinking techniques and mental models.
I’m also passionate about digital art, and here I combine the two in the hope of inspiring others.

People often look a for single solution or answer how to be happy (money, power, family) but there is not one magic answer. As inversion thinking shows it has many ingredients. Although the list can be somewhat different to each person.

The essence of inversion thinking by Charlie Munger:
"It is remarkable how much long-term advantage people like us have gotten by trying to be consistently not stupid, instead of trying to be very intelligent."

The difference between an opportunity and a distraction sometimes lies not in their inherent value, but in your decision.

When many paths are viable, it’s your choice that makes one significant and the rest must fade into irrelevance.
